Software modules for campus-wide asset management, materials management, and hazardous material tracking.

LLumin software solutions for higher education simplify the view of all assets allowing for better utilization and improved maintenance management. And they help Facilities Managers meet material handling regulations and enforce compliance with OSHA, EPA, and FDA rules.

Overcoming Common Challenges

Facilities management has a significant impact on the success of a higher education institution. Unfortunately, universities and colleges have historically relied on manual systems for asset management and tracking materials. Many people with expertise in these processes are either taking other jobs or retiring.

Compared to their industrial counterparts, facilities managers in higher ed also face additional issues concerning EHS and inventory management. These issues include:

• Assets and materials are geographically dispersed
• Maintenance and material handling expertise may vary greatly from location to location and department to department
• Different groups or departments may take different approaches to enforcement (while the institution is still responsible for everything).

LLumin asset and materials management solutions help on all accounts.
