DUBAI, UAE, 15 September 2019: Facilio, the Atlanta-based FM-Tech start-up, with operations in the United States, Middle East and India, will showcase the latest innovations in its IoT- and AI-based enterprise-wide O&M platform during its participation at the FM Expo 2019, to be held from September 17 to 19 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the company said through a Press release.

“Complex, rigid and siloed FM-tech models are obsolete in today’s dynamic built-environment,” said Prabhu Ramachandran, Founder & CEO, Facilio. “The future belongs to modern, simple and easy-to-use connected FM. With Facilio, this is what we have brought to the market – an enterprise-wide platform, specially designed for the needs of the facilities management and real estate industry. And the response has been overwhelming.”

In line with the growing interest from the region, Facilio has significantly increased its participation at the FM Expo, from an expanded stand size to highly interactive and engaging campaigns and workshops, the release said. Ramachandran will be sharing insights at the FM Forum on Day 1 on how FMs can create the path to connected and real-time facilities, the release further said. At the stand, visitors can benefit from case studies and interactive workshops that will demonstrate the value of Facilio’s unified enterprise-wide O&M platform over legacy software players, owing to its simplicity and flexibility to integrate with existing automation and adapt to future needs, the release added. Demos will include enhanced Central Command and Control (CCC) for portfolio O&M, advancements in Machine Learning that add to the product’s impact as well as fully contextual mobile apps for all stakeholders, the release further added.

According to the release, Facilio will also be launching its innovative ‘Elephant in Facilities’ campaign to demystify FM-tech, with key tips on how FMs can operate efficiently in real-time, without being tied down by siloed and dead-end tools. Other engagements include presentations at the Theatre of Inspiration, on September 17 and 19 on ‘Connected Facilities of the Future’ as well as a ‘Share-your-Insights’ session, where the company is keen on uncovering challenges faced by users and vision for tech-in-FM from key leaders in the industry, the release said. The presence of the company’s key customers will also go a long way in conveying real-world outcomes and results to visitors, the release added.

The release quoted Facilio as saying that there is a widespread consensus that optimal performance efficiencies require targeted technology solutions created for the specific needs of the FM industry. “Repurposed industrial applications are limited in their impact, and the commercial real estate industry has realised our platform represents a quantum leap over legacy players,” Ramachandran said. “The future belongs to modular solutions that can be integrated in infinite ways, using data-informed cognitive technology.”
