Industry Overview
-
Commercial Property & Facility Management
Commercial properties, business parks, and mixed-use estates operate a wide range of shared services that must function reliably for tenants, occupants, and visitors. Facility managers and property owners are responsible for controlling energy and water costs, maintaining critical infrastructure, managing service providers, and justifying service charges across single buildings or entire estates.
In many developments, utility consumption is still measured manually or aggregated at building level, making it difficult to understand where costs originate or to allocate them fairly. As energy and water prices rise, and tenant scrutiny increases, property managers are under growing pressure to provide accurate, auditable data rather than estimates which are time consuming.
IoT Solutions supports commercial property owners and facility managers with centralised, retrofit monitoring of energy and utility infrastructure, enabling fair tenant billing, early detection of issues, reduced operational overheads, and greater transparency across managed properties.
Key Operational Challenges
in
Property & Facility Operations
Commercial property owners and facility managers commonly face the following challenges:
No sub-metering visibility per tenant, unit, or building, leading to unfair billing, disputes, and revenue leakage.
Manual meter reading and spreadsheet-based reconciliation, increasing labour costs, errors, and delays in service-charge invoicing.
Common-area systems left running outside operating hours, driving unnecessary energy and water waste with no clear accountability.
Limited visibility per feeder or distribution board, making it difficult to identify anomalies, power-factor issues, or inefficient equipment.
Tenant complaints about rising service charges, with no transparent consumption data to justify costs.
Hidden leaks or continuous water flow in unoccupied units, causing unnoticed waste and inflated utility bills.
Generator faults discovered only during power outages, putting tenant operations and critical services at risk.
Parking availability and misuse difficult to manage, especially in mixed-use and high-traffic estates.
IoT Solutions for Commercial Property & Facilities
We provide modular IoT solutions that give property owners and facility managers clear, auditable visibility across utilities and shared infrastructure.
Primary Solutions
Premises & Equipment Energy Management
Monitor electricity consumption and power quality across buildings, floors, feeders, and common-area systems to support accurate tenant billing, identify waste, and justify service charges with data.
Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Monitoring
Monitor water meters, tanks, pumps, and estate-level infrastructure to enable fair allocation of water costs, detect leaks early, and reduce emergency interventions.
Supporting Solutions
Industrial Generator Management
Ensure backup generators across managed properties are operational and ready, without relying on manual logs.
Parking Management
Monitor parking occupancy and usage across estates to improve availability, enforcement, and tenant experience.
