Dubai: Facilio, a leading AI-driven property operations & maintenance platform, today announced that UAE’s niche FM service providers are replacing manual processes and legacy tools with modern software for portfolio operations. Build Well Holdings, a real estate investment company, GGFM, a Data-Driven Smart Facilities Management Solution Provider, and Bright Environment, an integrated facility management service provider, are using the Facilio platform to be agile and drive seamless customer experiences amidst changing conditions.

The global pandemic has become a catalyst for long-term change across the real estate and FM services landscape, accelerating trends in occupant health, wellness, sustainability, service delivery, and agile operations. As digital-native tenants and occupants are demanding proactive services and hands-on control of their spaces, progressive FM service providers are taking the role of strategic pillars in reopening and operating buildings with a strong data-led and future-ready operations strategy in place.

“We believe that data is the new oil, and processes are the key differentiator in the service industry. By harnessing technology, we will be able to reimagine service delivery, transform the operational approach, to meet clients where they are today and ultimately provide friction-less experiences” said Hafilur Rahman, Executive Director at GGFM.

Facilio’s unique property operations cloud platform is enabling FM operatives to make this transition in approach, by allowing them to:
