Accessing critical building information when you need it has always been a major challenge for owners and maintenance managers. Preserving that information over time is becoming even more difficult with employee turnover and today's labor shortages.
It has been estimated that, globally, building owners waste billions of dollars annually just searching for and retrieving information needed about their facilities.
SHADE is a simple, intuitive, solution that leverages location services and augmented reality to place your facility documents/information where you need it, when you need it and navigate you to a chosen destination.
The technology serves as a digital hub for all your building’s relevant information such as:
General building and life safety documents
O/M Manuals
Warranty information with alerts
Insurance records
Maintenance records including alerts for service
"How To" videos
e-commerce for parts and supply orders
Facility finishes (floorcoverings/paint)
And with our patented virtual tags anything that is of importance can be highlighted - All at your fingertips and easily accessible from a phone or tablet!
Our patented ORIENTEERING™ building content management system streamlines facility operations and maintenance by making relevant information available to the right person when and where it's needed.
Benefits of the SHADE platform include:
Shade’s Orienteering™ cloud database allows a user to access building information from anywhere, on any device — all in one place, fed from or directed to many other proprietary or closed systems and IoT devices.
Easily share building information with first responders, service providers, design and construction teams, and building occupants.
Reduce time searching for information, navigating to an asset/issue/area of interest, aligning a building operations and management team.
Easy for people of all tech capabilities to use. Does not require knowledge of 3D modeling, BIM, or any design tools.
Building information is constantly updated through connected systems and users.
Building Information platform that can be used in a portfolio with one building or dozens of campuses.
Transparent project closeout and turnover data
Increased productivity of maintenance personnel
Improved response to building issues

SHADE’s web application allows users to combine floor plans, mixed reality, building and asset management, and facility maintenance into one intelligent tool.
A user can easily create virtual tags, that document important information at a location on a 2D floorplan or at the actual physical location on site. From either of these points reference information can be uploaded.
Once information is in place a future user can access the information by simply touching an icon on the floor plan or viewing the icon in Augmented reality at the actual location, in both instances the same information can be viewed. SHADE will even provide navigation guidance to find a related destination in a building.
SHADE was founded by construction industry veterans with a vision of using location services, direction of interest, and a smart device to allow easy access to actionable data that is created during the life cycle of a project.
