What you control

Intelligent infrastructure, under one roof.

Smart Facility Management connects the devices you already have, and the ones you add, into a single automated ecosystem: efficient, safe and cost-effective.

Access control

Smart locks, badges and door sensors give access only to authorised people. Grant or revoke access by role, shift or schedule, and know the moment a door or window opens.

Ambience

Set the right scene automatically: lighting, temperature, blinds and music for each room and time of day. Comfortable for people, efficient for the bill.

Alarm mode

Arm the whole site or individual zones with one tap. Motion, smoke, CO₂ and water-leak sensors raise alarms and trigger your response workflow instantly.

Energy and cost control

Real-time energy monitoring shows usage by day, week, weekday and weekend. See projected consumption and bills in advance, and let eco modes switch off what no one is using.

Multi-site management

Manage offices, venues, campuses and homes from one place. Compare sites, roll out a preset everywhere, and stay aware of what is happening at every location.

Plays well with other brands

Configure and control devices from many manufacturers, regardless of wireless protocol. Extend with third-party devices and hubs instead of starting again.

Automated workflows

If this, then do. Your building runs itself.

Combine time, sensor and event triggers into workflows that run automatically. Start from a preset, then tailor it to your site without writing a line of code.

Building presets

Pre-set for your type of building. Customisable for yours.

Choose your building type to see the ready-made automated workflows we switch on from day one. Every preset can be adjusted, extended or turned off to match how your site runs.

How we get you there

From walkthrough to a smarter building.

1

Site assessment

We walk your site, list the devices you have, and identify where energy and time are being wasted.

2

Connect

We connect existing devices and add smart hubs, switches and sensors where they make the biggest difference.

3

Configure presets

We switch on the presets for your building type and tailor access, ambience and alarm rules with your team.

4

Monitor and improve

Energy reports and alerts show what is working. We review results with you and fine-tune the workflows.

Questions before you get started

Do we need to replace our existing devices?

Usually not. Smart Facility Management works with devices from many manufacturers, regardless of wireless protocol. Your site assessment tells you exactly what can be connected and what, if anything, needs upgrading.

Yes. Offices, venues, campuses and homes can all be managed from one app, with presets rolled out across every site or tailored for each one.

Every preset is a starting point. You can change triggers, timings, rooms and actions, add new workflows, or turn presets off at any time.

Access is granted by role, shift and schedule, so only authorised people can open doors or change settings. Every access event and alarm is logged.

Yes. We assess your site, plan the rollout, configure your presets, train your team and stay on hand for support and improvements.
