Smart Buildings: The Future of Building Management.

Smart buildings have clearly defined themselves as the way of business future. Post-pandemic, the way our offices and shared spaces run has changed completely, and sleek, updated tech is a strong component in developing a robust ESG offering.

Environment, social, and governance (ESG) strategy has become increasingly important post-Covid, with planet-focused sustainability, working purpose, and employee experience gaining greater scrutiny as we adapt to diverse ways of remote and hybrid working that respect the individual and understand the importance of honouring individual talent to create a strong and resilient company. 

Clever tech solutions and upgrading to smart building working is an increasingly popular step in creating a comfortable worker and visitor experience, ensuring optimum wellbeing, and creating a positive brand reputation in a world that looks to community and collaboration for future success. Whilst there are plenty of companies offering smart building tech on the market, some main players have truly stepped up their game post-pandemic. Their support and expertise could be just what you’re looking for if you’ve been considering a step toward smart building infrastructure.

Adaptive Smart Building Companies.

With a truly global offer, Haltian provides world-class end-to-end solutions and services in the smart building space, offering smart product consultation and development and smart office solutions across the industry.

Their Empathetic Office technology focuses specifically on smart office solutions, with a dedicated effort to improve employee happiness and well-being, combining smart building technology, forward-thinking culture development, and holistic physical space management.

Jakub Zagórski, Digital Business Strategy Director of Skanska, one particularly pleased client of Sharry’s, shares their advanced success in remote working thanks to Sharry’s platform:

We especially appreciate the capability of Sharry to integrate the most of existing access control systems. The joint project Connected by Skanska and 18 fully integrated office buildings in 4 European markets are the best evidence of our long-term and successful cooperation."
