Deeper insights through API integration

Open APIs help businesses effectively leverage their building data by making it more accessible, enabling them to automate processes and increase building intelligence by combining datasets.

  • Integration: Seamlessly integrate with other building systems.

  • Smartphone Apps: Custom apps designed to facilitate direct interaction with the building.

  • Artificial Intelligence: Understands trends and makes autonomous decisions to optimise environments and systems.

  • Dashboards: Automated to produce highly customisable, value-adding reports and real time insights.

  • Analytics: Provide deep insights into building operations over time to facilitate informed decision-making.

  • Occupancy: Based on actual data, understand the space you are using to identify space optimisation or workplace design improvements.

  • Security: Leverage live occupancy data to feed into security systems to recognise presence.

  • Data Safety: Secure connection via API ensures your data is kept safe.
