If your software doesn’t make my life easier than I don’t want it.  There are a ton of technology solutions out there.  But more often than not they are a HUGE pain in the ass!  Especially if you have multiple systems that don’t work with one another.  My goal is to do all my work from my phone.  On my dock preferably.  If your software doesn’t have a smartphone app I don’t want anything to do with it.

I talked with a lot of people with fancy new tech solutions at the REMI Show.  Very few impressed me.  That’s why I liked Jill Kegler so much.  Jill works with DoubleA Solutions.  They have a bunch of products under their umbrella – including sales software, phone auto-dialer and a VoIP software.   All of them are intended to make you work work less while producing more.

Who left the damn lights on? with Peak Power


I don't know when it happened. But at some point saving the planet became all of our responsibilities. That's a big ask. But climate change is getting harder and harder to ignore. Becoming more energy efficient is a big piece of this puzzle. It's also a no-brainer for businesses. That's why I invited Lucy Fan from Peak Power onto the show this week. Her company provides battery storage solutions and real-time energy analytics for big commercial buildings. It's an easy solution to a big problem INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/timbyrnealmostlive TWITTER: https://twitter.com/timbyrnealmost  FACEBOOK: http://www.Facebook.com/TimByrneAlmosLive

If there was one common theme at this year’s REMI Show it was technology.  Tech vendors have every imaginable solution for building managers.  Some make sense.  Others…not so much.

One of the more interesting attempts is a joint effort by paper giant Kimberly-Clark and Gojo, the inventors of Purell.  They want to create a smart bathroom.  Yes, you heard me right.

The idea is to add internet connected sensors to things like paper and soap dispensers.  No more waiting for complaints from irritated clients to fix the shitter.  Not a bad idea.  But I was skeptical.  The guys from KC and Gojo tried to make the case for why the initial investment is worth it.

Everyone knows that things are changing fast.  But iRestify is the kind of company that is changing an industry you’ve never thought of before.  Janitorial services are a must for every business but the basic business model hasn’t changed much for decades.  iRestify saw that technology could offer something their competition couldn’t.  They like to call themselves the Uber of cleaning services.  It gives building managers a simple interface to order cleaning services right from your phone.

I invited Aaron Mohammad and Tommy Brady onto the show to talk more about this.  These are two hungry young entrepreneurs that I was thrilled to be able to talk to.  Over the next 20 minutes was talk about the rapid progress occurring in their business.  And I give them some advice about how to survive for the long term.
