Virtual Facility

ABOUT US

Virtual Facility is a NYC-based SaaS building intelligence and workflow automation provider for large institutional facility managers to better understand their operations and how to improve through smarter data driven work. 

Why? Operational management of large-scale facilities has been seriously neglected by technology and has forced an over-reliance on paper, spreadsheets, consultants, and manual processes to run their facilities. 

Virtual Facility’s SaaS offering leverages today’s latest technology stacks and machine learning to drive real-time engineering and operations management support to customers such as hospitals, universities, data centers, and other complex commercial facilities.

We look for people who look for challenges, who have a desire to learn 24/7 and yearn to actually make a difference in a company’s trajectory and its customers. There is no one unicorn who will make or break our potential. We are a strategically woven set of experiences and thinkers who are changing an archaic industry together by motivating each other to grow as individuals and problem solvers to deliver a technology that enables A Better Way to Work.
