How a Custom-Built Platform Helped SitelogIQ Unlock New Revenue

The Challenge

SitelogIQ supports school districts and other organizations in assessing and planning for their facility needs. But before partnering with Compoze Labs, their approach—though effective—was deeply manual and increasingly unsustainable as they grew.

Facility assessors tracked everything in spreadsheets and emails, manually creating static presentations for clients. Data lived in silos, making it difficult to move from assessment to actionable planning. More than anything, the tools they had didn’t support the kind of visual storytelling facility managers needed to secure funding.

Our Solution

We didn’t just build a platform—we built a partnership. Over three years and four application releases, we co-created a flexible, evolving system grounded in real user needs.

Step 1: Quick Win

The Initial Client Portal

The first milestone was a small but powerful one: a simple login system and portal that allowed users to view PowerBI reports in one place. This MVP gave SitelogIQ a centralized way to deliver reporting and laid the groundwork for future tools.

Step 2: Core Platform

The Facility Assessment Tool

This was the heart of the transformation. Designed for internal assessors, it replaced spreadsheets with a digital experience that could be used right in the field—typically on iPads. Key features included:

  • Interactive blueprints and floor plans
  • Room-by-room asset tracking and condition data
  • Photo uploads to document facility issues
  • CO2, lighting, and temperature data collection
  • Age-adjusted condition scoring based on industry norms

Step 3: Expansion

The Capital Planning Tool

Once assessment data was in place, the next step was turning that data into action. The Capital Planning Tool allowed both internal teams and clients to:

  • Build multi-year plans
  • Prioritize repairs and replacements
  • Group-related projects based on dependencies (e.g., if you replace plumbing, replace ceilings too)
  • Model funding scenarios
  • Visualize tax implications for public projects
  • Compare plan options side-by-side with clear visuals

This tool lets facility managers tell the story of why something needs to be fixed—how delaying a boiler replacement today could cost significantly more in five years. SitelogIQ has also started selling the platform versus just selling assessments. That’s a huge shift—and it came from seeing the value this tool delivers.

The Outcome

SitelogIQ’s digital transformation has evolved far beyond internal tools. They’re now positioned as a platform provider rather than just a service vendor—and that shift is opening doors.

Faster, Smarter Assessments

Facility assessors now enter and access data in the field in real time—no more back-and-forth or rework. That alone saves hours per project and improves the accuracy of assessments.

Stronger Client Presentations

The visual power of the platform helps clients make their case—whether it's to a school board, city council, or taxpayers. They can model different plans, show expected tax impacts, and demonstrate the long-term cost of inaction.

Ongoing Client Engagement

Before, engagements were often one-and-done. Now, the platform creates continuous value, encouraging long-term partnerships and enabling SitelogIQ to remain involved far beyond the initial assessment.

 

Exciting Shift in Business Model

SitelogIQ has begun repositioning the product as a sellable platform rather than a backend tool. They’ve even built an entire product and engineering team to support and grow it.

The Impact

  • 260+ users currently using the system

  • 40–50 client organizations actively engaged

  • Entire new internal tech team built to support platform growth

  • Improved decision-making and funding success for facility managers

  • New revenue stream unlocked through SaaS positioning

What started as a project to improve data collection has become the backbone of SitelogIQ’s growth strategy. With the right partner and platform, they’re scaling smarter, selling stronger, and helping clients plan for the future—one building at a time.
