Aging facilities, limited budgets, and disconnected data make it difficult to know what to fund, what to defer, and why.
FOUNDATION by Intellis brings facility condition assessments, asset data, capital needs, costs, and long-range planning together in one connected platform—so facilities leaders can make faster, more informed, and more defensible capital planning decisions.
Most facility teams aren't short on information.
They're short on connected, actionable information.
Condition assessments may live in spreadsheets. Asset information may sit in another system. Work order history may be somewhere else. Capital requests may be managed through email, spreadsheets, or disconnected planning tools.
The result?
FOUNDATION connects the information you need to move from facility data to capital strategy.
FOUNDATION gives facilities, finance, and leadership teams a shared source of truth for understanding facility conditions, prioritizing needs, and planning future investments.
With FOUNDATION, you can:
Collect consistent facility condition data through mobile inspections and standardized assessment workflows.
Use condition, cost, risk, and other factors to identify which projects deserve attention first.
Evaluate different budget scenarios and understand the impact of funding, deferring, or reprioritizing projects.
Move beyond one-year project lists to develop strategic, multi-year investment plans.
Integrate facility information with the systems your organization already uses, helping eliminate disconnected data and manual handoffs.
Turn complex facility data into reports, insights, and recommendations stakeholders can understand and act on.
FOUNDATION helps connect the entire planning process:
01 — Assess
Capture consistent information about the condition of buildings, systems, and assets.
↓
02 — Analyze
Understand deficiencies, risks, costs, and future needs.
↓
03 — Prioritize
Determine which projects should be addressed first based on objective criteria.
↓
04 — Plan
Build multi-year capital plans and evaluate different funding scenarios.
↓
05 — Defend
Give decision-makers the data and rationale they need to support capital investment recommendations.
A capital plan that's easier to understand, easier to communicate, and easier to defend.

Centralize the information your team needs to make better investment decisions.
Connect facility condition findings directly to capital planning instead of treating assessments and capital planning as separate processes.
Model scenarios to understand what happens when projects are funded, deferred, accelerated, or reprioritized.
Build long-term strategies that account for future facility needs—not just today's most urgent problems.
Create greater visibility across facilities, finance, operations, and executive leadership.

“The new system has led to much more reliable data and high-quality assurance. Now, we can quickly respond to changing requirements and share information. More of our time can be spent on data analysis rather than data entry. We now have our capital plan and reports at our fingertips.”
