Prescriptive Data Launches New Mobile Application Designed To Enhance Workplace Experience For Employees
Nantum Tenant Fractal App (Nantum TFA) Streamlines Access to Building Services While Improving Operational Efficiency of Commercial Office Buildings
NEW YORK (June 7, 2018) – Prescriptive Data, a subsidiary of leading New York City real estate developer, Rudin Management Company (RMC), announced today that it has launched a new mobile application designed to enhance the workplace experience for tenants.
Nantum Tenant Fractal App, the latest extension of Prescriptive Data’s revolutionary smart building operating system, creates a seamless experience for tenants and their guests while providing owners, operators, and managers of real estate, as well as enterprise tenant facilities managers, with real-time insights into the usage patterns of employees within tenant spaces. Nantum TFA will officially debut at Realcomm in Las Vegas, June 6-7.
Designed to act as a “passport” to all building services and amenities, Nantum TFA allows users to manage guests, expedite security and access control, reserve conference rooms and shared amenity spaces, and order food & beverage, all from their personal smartphones. Nantum TFA will also provide real-time local transit updates, as well as building-wide alerts and notifications.
Additionally, building occupants will also have the unique ability to communicate with building and facilities management through Nantum Tenant Fractal allowing users to report facilities issues, and to specify their own heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) preferences.
Further, Nantum TFA learns the preferences and habits of building occupants, and then utilizes machine learning technology to “learn” from past space use patterns data to generate recommendations to optimize the building’s operations and interactions with tenants and their employees. Unique to the Nantum suite of products, all data stays within the building or portfolio and is ultimately used to drive operational efficiency.
“The unique value of Nantum Tenant Fractal App is simple: enhance the workplace experience for your customers while improving the operational efficiency of the building itself,” said Sonu Panda, CEO of Prescriptive Data. “As enterprise tenants and their employees demand the latest amenities and a more responsive workplace, buildings need to offer a consumer-facing building passport that is easy-to-use and seamlessly integrated with existing building systems and operations.”
John Gilbert, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Rudin Management Company, added: “Our cloud-based app provides users with instant access to the latest building updates, amenities and services, which is transforming how we operate properties in the modern age. Just as importantly, Nantum Tenant Fractal App, and the data it captures, fundamentally changes our relationship with our tenants – more than being landlord, we can now deliver data and insights to our tenants to help them increase the health, wellness, and productivity of their employees.”
The development of the new app follows the successful launch of Nantum Building OS, which was introduced to the market in summer 2016. Designed to function as the “brain” of a property, Nantum collects information from all internal and external building systems to maintain optimal conditions with the most efficient use of energy.
Currently, RMC is using Nantum in 19 of their New York City buildings, including 15 commercial buildings and four residential properties, totaling well over 10 million square feet. Nantum is currently delivering persistent energy savings of approximately $5.5 million per year to RMC (i.e., approximately 55 cents per square foot per year).
The creation of Nantum TFA further highlights the Rudin Family’s, unique understanding of the benefits that technology has on real estate. Throughout the family’s over 100-year history in owning and developing real estate in New York City, Rudin has been at the forefront of technology adoption, developing 55 Broad Street, the first totally wired office building in in New York City; redeveloping 32 Avenue of the Americas, one of the most historically significant telecommunications buildings on the East Coast; and developing 3 Times Square, the skyscraper home to media giant Thomson Reuters’ North American headquarters.
Today, Rudin is continuing to build on its long legacy of innovation by enhancing, upgrading and growing its commercial portfolio. Rudin, along with its joint-venture partners Boston Properties and WeWork, is nearing completion of Dock 72, a 675,000 square-foot commercial development that will cater to the rapidly emerging technology and creative industries in Brooklyn. It will be available to all Dock 72 tenants when the 675,000 square-foot office building opens in fall 2018.
