It Wasn’t Magic—It Was Smart Infrastructure
When budgets are tight and staff are stretched thin, most operators don’t need a revolution—they need a single smart move that removes friction across the board.
In this case? That move saved over $120,000/year.
Meet the Portfolio:
- 6 buildings
- 3 ops staff
- A mess of legacy access, lighting, and HVAC systems
Before OpticWise:
- 4 different vendors
- 20+ monthly service calls
- 2-hour daily reactive checks
After:
- Single-pane control
- Automated lighting + HVAC tied to real-time occupancy
- Mobile access + system alerts
Savings: $10K/month in labor + energy + vendor consolidationn
Service calls down: 40%
Energy usage: ↓ 28%
Don’t Take Our Word For It

Why It Works
Operators win when:
- Systems are unified
- Vendors are simplified
- Work becomes proactive, not reactive
This isn’t theory—it’s infrastructure-backed ROI.
Operator Action Plan
- Audit: How many systems are you managing today?
- Map: What’s your OPEX opportunity with one integrated upgrade?
- Ask: Can you see what’s happening right now?
