The WillowTwin™ platform provides organizations the ability to consolidate and orchestrate the data from a number of disparate systems so users can make informed data-led decisions to help reduce expenses, grow profits and better manage risk. Users can ensure your buildings are operating at peak efficiency by watching for potential issues with equipment, watch for trends in equipment operation, generate tickets for repair and stay on top of general maintenance, and much more. 

The accompanying articles on this support site will take a closer look at the various features and functionality of the platform. For now, we'll discuss what users can expect to see once logged and some basic navigation tips for moving around the platform; for more information on logging in, please see the user guide articles on logging into the platform. 

Home screen

Depending on the permissions enabled by your platform administrator(s), logged in users will land on one of two dashboards as their home screen, either the Portfolio dashboard or the Building dashboard.

Portfolio Dashboard

The portfolio dashboard is great for users such as portfolio managers or executives who want to be able to see quick numbers and statistics related to overall portfolio or individual building performance and operations. Two different dashboard views provide these users with quick insights into the status and performance of all buildings within the portfolio, and options to dive into each building to see a more detailed breakdown of its health and operation. 

Building Dashboard

Building managers, chief engineers and their teams will typically interact with the building dashboard the most. From here they can monitor the status of the building and use it as a starting point for troubleshooting and resolving potential issues with malfunctioning or inoperable equipment and systems. Also here, users can toggle between a site view and a performance view depending on the information they are looking for.
