Pointivo’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered FM solution generates spatial intelligence using high-res imagery of roofs, buildings and surroundings for easy planning, monitoring, and maintenance of exterior facility assets.
Reducing FM costs; improving safety; saving time
Spatial IQ: Facility Management can conduct assessments and generate roof inventory, delivering the information needed to quickly budget for repairs, measure for replacement, create takeoffs, or track roof deficiencies — all while keeping staff safely on the ground.
Pointivo’s FM solution combines AI, computer vision, and advanced analytics. It generates spatial intelligence by analyzing high-res imagery of roofs, buildings, and surroundings to extract location, measurement, and understanding of physical assets and structures. Spatial IQ: Facility Management empowers contractors, FMs and owners with unique perspectives for insightful action to impact business decisions relating to measurement, damage detection, assessment, inventory management, budgeting and risk mitigation.
