Dude Solutions, the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider of operations management solutions, today introduced a Space Management module to their award-winning computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), TheWorxHub™. This new Space Management module delivers an easy way to bring facilities to life and streamline work with visual interior maps, space utilization tools and configurable layers for compliance information.   

With the enhanced Space Management functionality, hospitals and senior living communities can create a visualization of building interiors by uploading a PDF, CAD or other image format to TheWorxHub. This digital floor plan allows facilities and maintenance teams to plot work orders and assets, group work by location, and streamline staffing and scheduling. Additionally, users can organize space by department and location and use square footage calculations to see how the space is being utilized by its primary occupants.  

"We understand that hospitals and senior living communities face inefficiencies in organizing and locating paper-based drawings and artifacts. Not having a centralized repository of architectural and life safety drawings can lead to time wasted flipping through binders, returning to an office where they’re pinned to the wall or interrupting others to find the data,” said Josh Malbogat, Director of Healthcare at Dude Solutions. “We designed the Space Management module to help organizations visualize their work with a mobile-friendly facility map that not only connects critical work for staff and contractors, but also captures how space is utilized in the building to help with reimbursement reporting.”   

Space visualizations, layering and mapping addresses Life Safety Code, NFPA and Joint Commission requirements, such as evacuation routes or medical gas shut-offs, are added to facility maps for survey and inspection readiness and understanding high-risk or problematic areas. Historical information on equipment and work orders is also documented for consistency when employees leave or when onboarding new staff.  

 TheWorxHub platform was announced as a Vision Award winner in the Smart Buildings/IoT/Software category. The awards program, sponsored by FacilitiesNet.com, recognizes products that contribute to the efficient and profitable operations and management of institutional and commercial buildings in the United States.
