? #006: Prabhu Ramachandran of Facilio on a single pane of glass for the portfolio: Episode 6 is a conversation with Prabhu Ramachandran, CEO of Facilio, a software as a service platform for facility operations and maintenance. I really like where they're headed, and this was a really fun conversation. We talk about how Prabu was inspired by remote monitoring practices in the telecom industry and why he launched Facilio in the commercial real estate space. We talk about the next wave of smart buildings, which Prabu calls CRE 3.0. We deep dive into Facilio software, including the architecture of the suite of native apps, how it provides a single pane of glass for operators. by The Nexus Podcast
