Smarter Monitoring.
Fewer Surprises.
BenchMarker Cloud gives you live insights and control over your facilities, wherever they are — helping you improve climate control, manage energy costs and plan maintenance more easily.
Intelligent insights.
Effortless control.
BenchMarker Cloud is a modern way to manage multiple facilities, anywhere.
It’s designed for owners and managers who oversee multiple properties across different locations, all operating under one group or purpose.
Hotels, banks, educational campuses, commercial or government portfolios or single large buildings with many offices where equipment types and ages differ, yet expectations for comfort, sustainability, and reliability are high.
BenchMarker Cloud provides managers with a secure, single view across all assets and all buildings, with access to controls and global scheduling — without the complexity or restrictions of local Building Management System (BMS) infrastructure.
