Next Generation Space & Move Management
What does it look like to have all the tools for planning and tracking space? Let’s see!
Space management starts with interactive, easy visualization of your buildings and campuses. Our interactive floor plans provide easy collaboration with all people, all physical locations, assets, and all work. Use your AutoCAD, Revit, and BIM floorplans directly from the platform.
More about the AutoCAD integration that your space architects will want to know:
Nuvolo gives space planners a snap-in macro that synchronizes floor plans from AutoCAD, bringing in all the details. The floor drawings, polylines, and space data can all be leveraged by your architects and space planners from AutoCAD or Nuvolo. A bi-directional AutoCAD data sync means your floor plans get updated in real-time.
More Traits of Modern Space Management
Enterprise Space Plans
Move teams across floors and buildings in minutes and maximize space in your portfolio. Quickly reorganize departments and teams to create better seating configurations in minutes.
Move Scheduler
Once a redesign or move is in place virtually, the solution will auto-generate and auto-assign work orders. Those work orders are managed in an intuitive, easy-to-use dashboard.
Employee Onboarding and Offboarding
Integrate with 3rd party human resource onboarding systems like Workday, SAP, Oracle, etc. Onboarding and offboarding tasks can be managed and automated on a single platform.
Space & Room Reservations + Wayfinding
After you’ve designed your spaces, defined your meeting room capacity, created hoteling and flex spaces, it’s time to give employees control.
Give your employees a robust reservation system for reserving rooms, desks, and other spaces. They can reserve space from a form or floor map while previewing pictures and specific details for the space, ensuring they have the right location for their needs.
Make the reservation experience unique for each employee. Each user login can be individually assigned to:
See reservable space in their appropriate department locations.
Receive quick links with predefined campuses, floors, dates, reservation duration, room capacity, and more.
View when and where their team members are sitting so they can reserve a desk nearby.
Incorporate location barcode scanning for one-click reservations or enable users to make reservations from Outlook’s room resources.

Not sure where you’re going? No problem. Search for people, locations, and things, and Wayfinding will find the exact location on an interactive map.
Employees and visitors search for a location right from their smartphones or strategically located wayfinding kiosks. They input a search item and presto, straightforward view for the location.

Analytics to Run the Future Workplace
Ensure that your building and facilities spaces are used in the most effective way.
Once you have the tools to handle your workplace, guess what else you have? A vast amount of data to help you analyze and prepare for the workplace of the future.
Remember, the data captured is on one platform to run analytics. You might need additional data to get in-depth information on how space is being utilized. So, we created a framework for integrating your sensor, badge swipe, and device scan location services. The framework logic stores data when a device, such as people or assets, scans into a location and
- Rolls up unique scans per time period (daily or hourly), per device, or per location.
- Calculates the utilization percentage for each cost center, like a department, on a floor per time period, such as the last 30 days.
IWMS Built on NOW™ - The Connected Workplace
The stuff we needed in Nuvolo, like pulling in employee data, locations, and cost center data was already built into ServiceNow, so we were able to roll that right over into the Nuvolo product,"
It's natively built, not an integration.
Nuvolo’s Built on Now™ architecture brings an impressive level of service management to any organization. Facilities, IT, HR, Payroll, Merchandising, Logistics, Network Operations, and more handle departmental requests on a single collaborative system.

Capital Planning Reporting
To reiterate from the section above, the Nuvolo + ServiceNow platform solution is adding space, facilities, real estate (lease management), capital projects, and sustainability to your existing ServiceNow IT Service Management database.
Potentially, today, your finance team is pulling data from 5-20 different systems for this level of analysis, which means different databases. Is all the data updated in real-time? How confident are you that the data is accurate?
A one platform solution equals one place to get data for corporate planning analysis. The potential for planning correctly and saving money is exponential.
Here’s what our customers say about Nuvolo reporting and dashboarding:
If Finance asks what does the FY ’22 budget look like for capital medical equipment, we can send it to them in real-time.”
With Nuvolo, and performance analytics we now have ways to leverage our data to find trends. We simply couldn’t do it before...the data visualization capability is awesome.”
Most importantly, the single platform solution isn’t just analyzing the data; it’s the platform capturing the data for space and asset management, building leases, tracking energy and waste consumption, tracking your building projects, and more.
A platform that provides complete real estate and asset lifecycle management
Finding ways to improve space allocation, streamline building and facilities operations while saving money now and into the future is the real power of the Nuvolo + ServiceNow platform.
