Facilio, a Software as a service (SaaS)-based property app that claims to enhance operational efficiency, has bagged $35 million in a funding round conducted by Dragoneer Investment Group.

The platform provides a suite of SaaS (software as a service) applications for maintenance and operational visibility, sustainability, and remote equipment performance monitoring. Prabhu Ramachandran, co-founder and chief executive told the media that this investment would allow them to extend market leadership, boost sales and marketing. Presently, Facilio is solving operational problems for over 10,000 properties, more than 100 million sq ft across 12 nations.

Its increasing list of portfolio-scale deployments comprises more than 40 large enterprise customers across the commercial office, healthcare, retail, banking, and government real estate types. Facilio has unlocked a world of potential with its Artificial Intelligence-based predictive approach to improving operational effectiveness, Eric Jones, a partner at Dragoneer told the media.
