Xyicon
Xyicon is a Napa, California cloud platform that lets teams 'think outside the spreadsheet' by merging spreadsheet data with PDF and CAD diagrams.

It is used across facilities management, capital construction programs, and healthcare facility planning to cut procurement costs, shorten timelines and reduce data errors.
