So, what is IoT?
IoT physically links sites, buildings and assets to a digital network through embedded sensors which measure and collect data. These sensors measure simple conditions that can be used to infer, for example, room usage (such as bathrooms or meeting rooms), air quality, the condition of assets and even water safety.

In the short-term, IoT combined with a smart works management platform enables your teams to work reactively, addressing the most urgent jobs first while also knowing what is still left to complete.
In the long-term this added visibility and understanding of your operations will empower you to improve your processes and in turn deliver more for your clients. It can also make essential but typically time-consuming processes, such as legionella checks, simple and continuous with minimal manual intervention. Having a network of sensors that work in real-time gives you continuous visibility of your service and quality levels, the condition of estates and assets and the areas that need attention, all at the press of a button.
To leverage the power of this network, you need a digital transformation platform that provides smart analytics, turning sensor data into easily digestible business information and automating remedial and routine works.
