The Built Environment Enters Its Smart Era

Podcast Archives ServiceChannel 2024-11-07

Welcome to Elevating Brick and Mortar.

The podcast about how operations and facilities drive brand performance.

On today's episode, we talk with Richard Leurig, President of Accruent. Accruent is the world's leading provider of intelligent solutions for the built environment. They set new expectations for how organizations can use data to transform the way they manage their facilities and assets.

Richard is an accomplished and innovative executive directing highly successful organizations. He has a diverse background in multiple industries holding senior leadership roles. He is involved with a wide range of industries including commercial, industrial, retail, multifamily housing, mortgage, real estate, insurance, spatial, legal, financial services, stock exchanges, retail merchants and payment services.

When we look at the built environment, customers now are looking for connected and integrated products. They want to be able to actually reduce [the number of touchpoints] based on the user and the user profile type. What we're seeing is the need for a single user experience, a user experience dedicated to the type of user that's using it, a persona.
