Description

OpenBlue Employee is a workplace experience and scheduling platform from FM, which is part of Johnson Controls. Formerly known as FMS, the cloud-based software helps organizations coordinate employees, workspaces, meeting rooms, visitors, workplace services, and shared resources. Desk booking and hoteling capabilities allow employees to reserve workspaces through desktop or mobile interfaces and support recurring reservations, check-in, checkout, and automatic release of unused spaces. Interactive floor plans provide a visual way to locate available desks, rooms, coworkers, teams, and nearby workplace resources. Room and resource scheduling supports conference rooms, equipment, catering, IT services, recurring meetings, and multi-resource reservations. Visitor management capabilities include automated bookings, confirmations, self-service kiosks, badge printing, host notifications, parking access, and safety induction workflows. OpenBlue Employee integrates with systems such as Microsoft Outlook, WebEx, and Cisco TMS and can connect with IoT sensors and workplace booking hardware. Reporting and analytics combine booking, occupancy, environmental, space, maintenance, financial, and other workplace data to help organizations understand how facilities are being used. OpenBlue Employee is intended for corporate real estate, facilities, workplace experience, and operations teams that need to support hybrid work while improving space utilization and employee access to workplace resources.

Description

Wisp by Apex42 is a cloud-based space management platform for managing corporate real estate, facilities, hybrid workplaces, and workplace operations. It brings floor plans, employees, occupancy, capacity, cost information, and portfolio data together to provide teams with a consistent view of their physical workplace. Space and portfolio management capabilities help organizations understand how space is assigned and used while evaluating options for future workplace requirements. Wisp supports flexible seating and desk reservations, including free-address environments where organizations can establish neighborhoods and allow employees to reserve available workspaces. Move management tools help facilities teams coordinate everyday moves, adds, and changes while maintaining accurate workplace records. Employees can use wayfinding functionality to locate people, workspaces, conference rooms, and other workplace destinations. Space planning and reporting capabilities help teams visualize future states and monitor information such as vacancy, occupancy, utilization, ratios, and other workplace metrics. Apex42 supplements the software with implementation, polylining, drawing standardization, ongoing CAD maintenance, data and dashboard services, and workplace advisory services. Wisp is offered as a SaaS platform with free upgrades and unlimited user licenses, and Apex42 states that implementations can be completed in 90 days or less.
