Our Mission

Our mission is to help the educational sector better manage their facilities with the limited resources they have on hand. By generating new efficiencies in facility administration and maintenance, we help our customers achieve better managed, more transparent and safer environments for students, staff and the community. We believe that technology in education includes smart ways to manage the “Where” – that is the schools, classrooms and grounds our children and community use everyday.

At Follett Software, we design technology with the needs of K-12 schools at the center — helping districts make informed, efficient decisions every step of the way.

Our Story

Our integrated cloud-based applications for facility-based infrastructure and technology systems were born of necessity by Archi-Technology, LLC, an independent technology consulting firm. The technology infrastructure and related systems in which the firm specializes bring unique challenges to each phase of a construction project due to:

• Rapidly evolving technologies and;
• Facility management professionals who are typically uncomfortable with highly technical systems that are half IT/half Facility.

Archi-Technology saw the need to bring facility management team members together using the cloud instead of clipboards, specifically in the education space. Alongside the ML products that make up the Follett Software Facilities Suite, Archi-Technology developed proprietary T-Series drawings — graphic, plan-based views of a facility’s technology infrastructure, including pathways and spaces, with selectable layers by system and location.
Since 2012, the ML products within the Facilities Suite have evolved to improve collaboration and efficiency across all roles that interact with a facility — from maintenance to scheduling to long-term planning.
