Sites may wish to implement the ARCHIBUS Space Book mobile app or Space & Occupancy Survey mobile app in conjunction with the Space Inventory & Performance application for Web Central. These mobile apps provide facilities staff with quick and easy access to key building data and floor plan drawings on their mobile devices. The mobile apps also have features for conducting paperless field surveys of current conditions at the site.
