AkitaBox, which creates software that automates maintenance, planning and inspections in building management, announced today that it raised $1.1 million in seed funding in a round led by Rock Oak Capital Partners, Practice Velocity and members of Stateline Angels.
“Building operators waste a large majority of their day looking for information, responding to emails or manually entering data into complicated software programs,” AkitaBox Co-founder and CEO Todd Hoffmaster said in a statement. “AkitaBox automates these workflows, making the outdated process four times faster. This helps building managers prevent problems before they occur to ultimately save money in building operations.”
According to a release, the money will be used to fuel continued sales growth and to enhance AkitaBox’s product offering.
The company’s product is currently being used by nationally recognized brands, including UW Health and Aramark.
AkitaBox is a recent graduate of gener8tor’s accelerator program.
