How is AkitaBox different from other CMMS platforms or property management systems?

AkitaBox is a facilities lifecycle management platform—not just a traditional CMMS or property management tool. We focus on lifecycle replacement planning, capital forecasting, expense reporting, scenario modeling, and connecting work order spend to replacement cost. Everything is built around a living asset inventory with location-based floor plan views, so you can make smarter decisions from the boiler room to the boardroom.

Can AkitaBox integrate with our existing CMMS, or do we have to replace our current work order system?

AkitaBox can integrate with your existing CMMS—you don’t have to replace it. Many customers use AkitaBox to capture and manage asset data while continuing to run work orders in their current system. If you’d prefer a unified solution, AkitaBox also offers its own CMMS and work order functionality. Either way, we’re designed to fit into your workflow, not the other way around.

Can AkitaBox integrate with my current systems?

Yes! AkitaBox is built on AWS infrastructure and is open by design. As long as your current systems enable integration, we should be able to integrate seamlessly.

Can I collect data offline with AkitaBox Capture?

Yes, the AkitaBox Capture App can work offline during data collection and will sync as soon as Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity is available.

How are floor plans uploaded to AkitaBox? What do I need to provide? What happens if I don’t have a floor plan?

  • Floor plans can be uploaded to AkitaBox as PDF, JPG, or PNG. 
  • If you don’t have floor plans, the AkitaBox system can still be used in “list view.”

Does AkitaBox use QR codes?

Yes. Assets can be tagged with AkitaBox QR codes.

Can I bulk-upload assets or work-order data to AkitaBox?

No limits. You are free to add the images and documentation to AkitaBox that work best for your needs. 

Can work orders be sent to vendors in AkitaBox?

What kind of software/security does AkitaBox have?
