Department of Veterans Affairs New England Regions automates space planning and management using VLogic
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs New England Region (VISN 1) oversees 11 medical centers, managing nearly 9 million square feet of facility space. To improve planning, operations, and facility management, the VA sought a network-wide Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS). The goal was to streamline business processes, centralize facility data, and ensure up-to-date space utilization reporting across all locations.
Before implementing VLogic IWMS, facility planners and operations managers relied on outdated paper records, often struggling to locate critical engineering documents—only to find them obsolete. Today, with VLogic’s centralized platform, they can instantly access accurate, real-time facility condition data from their desktops, supporting a broad range of planning and management needs.
Key Benefits of VLogic IWMS at VISN 1
Accurate Space Utilization Tracking – Each facility regularly reports square footage and function changes, ensuring real-time data accuracy.
Improved Cost Allocation & Accountability – The IWMS space assignment and tracking tool helps distribute operating costs among divisions, enhancing financial oversight.
Operational Efficiency & Cost Savings – By identifying inefficiencies and sustainment needs, the system has contributed to significant financial savings.
With facilities-related costs second only to wages and pharmaceuticals, having a centralized, intelligent facility management system has been crucial in optimizing operations and ensuring VISN 1 medical centers run smoothly and cost-effectively.
