Facilities Management Awards 2017

2017 Facilities Management Awards Build 25 pica’s value proposition is to provide innovative technology- enabled business outcome solutions in the context of the varied stakeholders involved in the ownership, maintenance and occupation of Commercial/Public Sector buildings. The term “Smart Buildings” is very much overused in the industry today, and SPICA therefore talk instead about helping to deliver Well/Healthy Buildings that promote risk and cost reduction, whilst improving the health, wellbeing and productivity of people that actually use the buildings. Tim discusses what this means for the industry and the firm’s clients. “At Spica, we provide an over-arching solution framework approach that allows provision of multiple service offerings, all via a consistent browser- based application toolset, whilst integrating to core enterprise applications (BMS, CAFM, Room Booking, ERP etc) thus avoiding the proliferation of silo’d apps over time.” “Our expertise spans IOT (device/networks/security), Internal Positioning Systems, Cognitive Analytics, Concierge-style Mobile App development, Integration, and Technology Advisory + Managed Services to help promote rapid adoption and value realisation.” Moving forward, Spica’s ongoing focus will remain on providing clients with the cutting-edge solutions that they need, as Tim concludes. “Looking ahead, we foresee new buying patterns; a thirst for tech-led solutions, and less reliance in inefficient low-skilled tasks, allowing staff to focus on higher value service delivery. Price point is no longer a good enough differentiator, with little cost left to squeeze out of already wafer-thin contract margins; moreover, FM companies and departments are looking to deliver the same services in different ways, and also offer new services to market (especially around Workplace Productivity), in order to remain relevant. Spica’s solutions are targeted to allow FM providers to rapidly grow and adapt to these changes, delivering value to help retain existing, and attract new clients. “Overall, Our mission is to help revolutionise the FM industry with the proliferation of IOT-based products; enabling FM’s and Property Owners to offer better, cheaper and innovative new services to their clients. Ultimately, we want to raise the profile of IOT solutions, and for IOT to become a de facto tool that the FM industry looks to acquire and integrate in their business, in the same way that CAFM and BMS are today.” Best FM Solutions Provider - UK Spica Technologies is a specialist PropTech Solutions Provider that uses a combination of technical assets, hardware (sensor devices), software components, and IOT integration expertise to help businesses capitalize on the opportunity that the Internet of Things represents.
