Top Digital Tools Every Facilities Manager Needs for Multi-Tenant Buildings
Discover the essential digital tools for facilities managers to streamline multi-tenant building operations, engage tenants, and improve communication.
Managing a multi-tenant building is complex. Facilities managers juggle tenant communication, maintenance requests, meeting room scheduling, visitor management, and much more — often with outdated systems like email loops or static noticeboards.
The solution? Smart digital tools designed specifically for multi-tenant buildings. These tools help facilities managers streamline operations, engage tenants, and even create new revenue streams — all while keeping costs low.
In this article, we explore the top digital tools every facilities manager should consider.
1. Digital Concierge Portals
A Concierge Portal is a centralized hub where tenants and visitors can access building announcements, alerts, promotions, and contacts — all from a mobile device or desktop.
Benefits:
Instant access to important building updates
Simplifies visitor check-ins and directions
Reduces reliance on emails or printed notices
Example: Platforms like OfficeWall provide a ready-to-use concierge portal with QR code access — no app required.
2. Interactive Directory Walls
Static directories are outdated and often confusing for visitors. Interactive directory walls allow tenants to showcase their business, contact information, and services digitally.
Benefits:
Provides a professional, engaging visitor experience
Helps tenants promote their business within the building
Updates instantly without printing costs
3. PulseWalls for Real-Time Communication
Facilities managers need a way to communicate maintenance alerts, notices, and updates instantly. PulseWalls provide a real-time feed that tenants and staff can access from anywhere.
Benefits:
Quick distribution of urgent building updates
Integrated issue reporting for facilities teams
Increases transparency and tenant satisfaction
4. Employee and Facilities Management Portals
Modern tools provide dedicated portals for staff to log, assign, and resolve maintenance requests efficiently.
Benefits:
Streamlined task management
Clear visibility for managers
Reduced response times and improved tenant experience
5. Meeting Room Scheduling Tools
Double bookings and scheduling confusion are common in multi-tenant buildings. Digital meeting room management tools display availability online or at room entrances.
Benefits:
Reduces conflicts and scheduling errors
Easy to manage remotely
Provides a professional, organized experience for tenants and visitors
6. Tenant E-Sites and Business Profiles
Every tenant can benefit from a mini digital presence — showcasing their team, services, offers, and events.
Benefits:
Promotes tenant businesses across the building
Encourages cross-promotion and community engagement
Supports recurring revenue opportunities for facilities managers
