WARE MALCOMB UNVEILS ‘PLANSPOT’ PROPRIETARY SAAS PLATFORM FOR DIGITAL PLANS AND FILES

IRVINE, Calif. (April 1, 2025) – Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, announced it has unveiled PlanSpot, a secure web-based real estate asset portal designed for storing, viewing and sharing plans and files. The proprietary, purpose-built platform offers efficient and convenient viewing capabilities of multiple file types on any web-enabled device.

“We saw a need in the marketplace for our clients to have accurate, timely data and developed a product to fulfill that need,” said Ken Wink, CEO, Ware Malcomb. “Developing PlanSpot embodies our core value of continual innovation, as we seek to consistently evolve everything we do to help our clients succeed.”

The new PlanSpot portal is one of the firm’s technology and innovation initiatives and was developed by a cross-disciplinary team of professionals within the firm. The platform contains efficient document viewing capabilities for files such as Auto CAD, Revit and Adobe, allowing clients and their teams to easily open documents without needing the source programs on their devices. The service allows almost any type of file to be stored, and users can easily navigate from any device for immediate file access.

“PlanSpot allows our teams to assist with the continuous management of an asset’s life cycle from one secure, intuitive platform,” said Anita Gross, Associate Principal, Corporate Accounts. “We are proud and excited to roll out this valuable service to our clients.”

A recent Ware Malcomb survey revealed 68% of clients do not have an asset management solution for their real estate portfolio – PlanSpot solves that problem. With offices across the Americas, Ware Malcomb serves clients across multiple markets and product types seamlessly. With one in three Fortune 50 companies as firm clients, the company develops a unique management strategy and team structure for each client. This model provides systems to effectively manage accounts across geographies including the development of client-specific, centralized standards, as well as other customized protocols, systems, processes and preferences. As a result, Ware Malcomb’s highly integrated project team delivers consistent design, service, and quality within budget and schedule objectives.
