Your equipment tells you what it needs. Act Hub is how you hear it.

Facility and Equipment Intelligence at Scale

Optimized facility performance for multi-location operators: equipment that runs as designed, energy that is managed rather than absorbed, and costs that stay predictable across every location.

Schedule a Portfolio Review

Visibility, Control, and Optimization Simplified

Most multi-location operators manage facilities reactively. Energy becomes an uncontrolled expense, and HVAC and refrigeration failures trigger emergency repairs that disrupt operations and pull teams into constant firefighting.

Actuate extends the capability of lean teams with intelligence that shifts facility operations from reactive response to predictive control and strategic performance management.

At the core of the platform is ForeSight365, Actuate’s predictive intelligence engine. It reads equipment performance data every minute, optimizes energy use, detects performance drift early, and surfaces hidden risks before they become operational disruptions.

Learn More About Act Hub

Portfolio-Native Intelligence For
Predictive Control

Actuate was purpose-built for smaller facilities common to multi-location operations, including an easy deployment that immediately puts your team ahead of emergency failures and disruptions.

Teams get predictive diagnostics, performance benchmarking, and the next step attached to every issue. Lean teams run more locations without more headcount, and equipment automation and setpoint management bring energy costs down.

Manage your facilities strategically as a system, rather than a collection of sites.

Predictive Control

Fixes before failures. Move from reactive firefighting to predictive, proactive control across distributed portfolios. Always be ahead of issues before they impact operations.

Optimized Performance

Continuous system performance monitoring and optimization, interpreted for you. When something shifts, or drifts, Act Hub explains what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.

Convert Waste Into Margin

The savings are already in your operating budget. Act Hub tracks, benchmarks, and optimizes your business’s energy consumption for you, removing waste and inefficiency portfolio-wide.

Scale Team Capability

Your team does not grow. Its capability does. Actuate transforms complex equipment data into clear, actionable intelligence that lean teams can use without technical overhead or constant oversight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, direct answers about facility performance

What does Actuate do?

Actuate delivers optimized facility performance for multi-location operators. Act Hub collects equipment performance data every minute from HVAC, refrigeration and the other systems a site runs on, identifies problems as they begin, and tells the operator what to do about them. Unlike a service provider that responds after a breakdown, Actuate works ahead of it: predictive diagnostics identify the likely cause before anyone is dispatched, and equipment performance data confirms the repair held. Answers, not just alerts.

What is facility performance?

Facility performance is how well a building’s equipment does its job over time, judged on three things: systems running as designed, energy managed rather than absorbed, and maintenance and energy costs that stay predictable. Unlike uptime or a single utility figure, it treats a building’s systems as one managed function. With Act Hub, facility performance is measured, so it can be managed strategically. Optimized facility performance is the state where all three hold across every location in a portfolio.

What is Act Hub?

Act Hub is the platform Actuate delivers optimized facility performance on. It reads equipment performance data at high frequency, scores every system on operations, comfort and energy, and surfaces only the sites that need attention with the next step attached. Unlike a building management system, it requires no capital project and no control-system replacement; unlike an alarm service, it explains what changed and why rather than only reporting that a limit was crossed. Not dashboards. Action.

Who is Act Hub built for?

Act Hub is built for operators running equipment across many locations with a lean central team: restaurant and QSR groups, convenience and retail chains, franchise operators and the facilities directors who support them. The model assumes nobody is standing in front of the equipment: the platform surfaces the handful of sites that need attention this week and leaves the rest running in the background. A small, lean team can cover hundreds of locations because Act Hub does the watching and diagnosing, so the team spends its time on judgment and action instead of on screens.

What equipment does Act Hub cover?

Act Hub covers the systems that carry the cost and the risk: rooftop HVAC units, refrigeration racks, walk-in coolers and freezers, compressors, motors and the electrical loads behind them. These are the systems Actuate’s equipment-level Maintenance Cost Baseline consistently finds at 50 to 65% of the repair-and-maintenance budget, which is why they are where the platform starts. Coverage is by system, not by sensor count, so a site is either fully instrumented for a system or it is not.

How is this different from a building management system?

A building management system controls a building from inside that building, and it is a capital project: controllers, wiring, commissioning, and a specialist to run it. Act Hub delivers the outcome a BMS is bought for, across a whole portfolio, without the capital or the complexity: it installs wirelessly, reads equipment performance data at high frequency, and reports centrally. A BMS tells a building what to do. Act Hub tells an operator what to do, at every site at once.

What results do operators see?

Comparable operators see 40 to 60% fewer emergency breakdowns and repairs completed 2x to 3x faster, because the problem is identified before a technician is dispatched and the fix is confirmed with data afterward. On cost, comparable operators see ranges of 15 to 30% maintenance savings and 10 to 30% energy savings. The operational change usually arrives first: fewer nights where a walk-in fails without warning, and fewer second trips for the same fault.

How long does it take to get running?

Installation runs about six to eight weeks from signature, wirelessly and without an IT project: no controllers, no conduit, no store downtime. Automated alerting and diagnostics delivered on the work order are live as sites come online, and the condition-based data behind repair-versus-replace decisions is available from signup. Full predictive capability across a portfolio is generally available within about 90 days of install.

Stop Managing Reactively. Operate Predictively and  Scale With Confidence.

Most facility failures aren’t surprises. The signals were there, but you didn’t have a system designed to see them. Actuate gives you the intelligence layer to see risk early, prioritize action, and stabilize performance across every location.
