OPERATIONS SUPPORT
Driving operational excellence where it matters most.
Oakum delivers SME support for installation, implementation, and training of advanced technologies that modernize government facility operations, spanning supply chain, logistics, inventory management, digital twins, CAD/BIM, wayfinding, and UAVs. This capability is reinforced by Oakum’s leadership team, which brings deep, hands-on experience in government operations and facilities management, ensuring disciplined execution, operational alignment, and seamless integration of technology into mission-critical environments.
Digital Twin / Virtual Facility
We create digital twins of federal facilities by integrating BIM data, occupancy sensors, and operational systems into a unified virtual model, enabling planners to test scenarios, optimize moves, and identify maintenance needs before they impact mission delivery.
Space Planning / Move Management
We support space planning and move management functions through the development of streamlined, automated processes that reduce coordination overhead and shorten timelines. Our work includes process design, workflow automation, and integration with facility data so federal teams can plan with fewer manual steps and clearer visibility into impact.
Indoor / Outdoor Scanning & CAD/BIM
We perform LiDAR and photogrammetric scans of facilities and grounds, then deliver accurate CAD and BIM models for design, renovation, and operations teams. Our scans have supported VA medical center work, space planning, infrastructure documentation, and emergency response planning.
Performance Monitoring & Dashboards
We help federal teams figure out the best way to track performance — defining the meaningful data, metrics, and processes that actually drive improvement rather than just reporting activity. Whatever the operational problem, our work focuses leadership on the right indicators to improve outcomes and sustain those improvements over time.
Media Monitoring & Planning
We offer flexible media monitoring and communications support — providing the monitoring and sentiment analysis so customers can act on it themselves, or augmenting their staff to respond directly to issues as they emerge. We also develop internal and external communications plans that prepare agencies for hearings, news cycles, and stakeholder engagement.
Inventory & Asset Management
We deploy barcode, RFID, and IoT-enabled tracking systems that give facilities real-time visibility into every asset and item on hand. Our implementations meet federal accountability requirements while reducing manual audits and lost-asset write-offs.
Occupancy Tracking
We install sensor- and badge-based occupancy systems that show how spaces are actually used across a federal facility. The resulting data supports right-sizing, hoteling, and emergency response planning with verifiable evidence.
Digital Wayfinding
We deploy interactive kiosks and mobile wayfinding tools that guide patients, staff, and visitors through complex federal campuses. Our solutions integrate with facility maps, accessibility requirements, and multilingual support to improve the user experience.
Governance Alignment
We help leadership teams align program governance with federal policy, oversight requirements, and strategic priorities. Our work covers charter development, decision-rights frameworks, and committee structures that keep programs accountable and audit-ready.
UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)
We provide UAV platforms equipped with LiDAR and other inspection-grade sensors to federal partners for facility inspection, infrastructure documentation, and operational mapping. Offerings cover platform selection, sensor and camera integration, and pilot training so agencies have a turnkey inspection capability that supports asset management and operational decision-making.
Supply Chain Modernization
We create digital twins of federal facilities by integrating BIM data, occupancy sensors, and operational systems into a unified virtual model, enabling planners to test scenarios, optimize moves, and identify maintenance needs before they impact mission delivery.
Environmental Monitoring
We assess legacy supply chain processes against federal compliance and operational targets, then implement modernized inventory flows that reduce stockouts and waste. Our work has helped federal facilities streamline medical and operational supply chains for measurable cost and time savings.
Process Improvement
We apply Lean, Six Sigma, and federal-specific methodologies to identify bottlenecks and design measurable improvements. Our engagements have helped VA and DoD customers reduce cycle times, eliminate rework, and align processes with mission outcomes.
HR Support
We help HR teams align their work with organizational priorities so hiring, classification, and workforce planning support what the organization actually needs to deliver. Our engagements focus on shortening the hiring cycle through streamlined processes, clearer requirements, and tighter coordination between HR and hiring leaders.
