I need help finding Free Facilities Management Software. I own a Meeting Facility.?

Question by Nicholas: I need help finding Free Facilities Management Software. I own a Meeting Facility.?
I have done a search for “free facilities management software” and “free facility management software” with no luck. Does anyone know where I may find a free facility manager? I own a meeting facility in Seattle and I need help managing my space (conference rooms, meeting rooms, coworking space, temporary office space). I would prefer it to be Free or affordable at best. Thank you.

Answer:
Try: http://www.evenues.com

They allow you to post your meeting facilities for rent, and they have a free facilities management software tool that you can use for free. I don’t think you have to post your space for rent, I’m pretty sure you can just use their free facility manager and put your meeting rooms in and manage for free. It’s a pretty cool website, I use it every once in a while to rent a temporary office space or coworking desk.

Hope that helps!
