Applied AI for FM operators.

AI that fits into the work your team already does — not a separate platform to learn, not a dashboard to babysit. We meet FM operators where they are and build around how they work.

What we deliver

Four capabilities that turn AI from an experiment into operational lift — for teams without a dedicated data science function.

Capability
What it means in practice

High-impact use case identification

We identify where AI creates the most value in your specific operations — inspections, work orders, vendor management, reporting — tied to clear cost or revenue outcomes.

Workflow automation

We automate the manual, repetitive work that consumes your team's time — surfacing actionable insights instead of more dashboards to monitor.

Integration into existing tools

AI fits into your current systems — CMMS, ERP, mobile tools, communication platforms — without requiring a rip-and-replace of your tech stack.

Secure, scalable deployment

Solutions built for lean teams and real-world FM operations, with enterprise-grade security, data governance, and compliance built in from day one.

Signature AI capabilities

Six capabilities we deliver inside the engagement — each tied to a lever that matters: cost, risk, or experience.

Cost

Predictive Maintenance

Detect failure risk on rooftop units, chillers, pumps, and motors 2–6 weeks ahead.

Risk

Vendor Intelligence

Score subcontractors on quality, speed, cost, and compliance.

Experience

Intelligent Routing

AI dispatch by skill, location, and SLA — the right tech on the right job.

Cost

Energy Anomaly Detection

Real-time waste monitoring across sites, flagged before the bill lands.

Risk

Reporting & Compliance

Audit-ready reports with automatic deadline tracking.

Experience

Inspection Automation

Flag anomalies from the field and auto-generate the report.

Use cases

The patterns we've seen move the needle for FM operators — each designed to drop into your existing tooling.

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Catch failures before the work order lands.

Telemetry-driven anomaly detection on rooftop units, chillers, pumps, and motors — feeding directly into your CMMS as ranked, explainable alerts.

  • Sensor & telemetry ingestion
  • Anomaly & degradation models
  • CMMS / work-order routing
VENDOR & INVOICE INTELLIGENCE

Triage vendor invoices at scale.

Document AI that extracts, normalizes, and validates vendor invoices and statements — flagging anomalies before they hit AP.

  • Document extraction & normalization
  • Rule + ML validation
  • Exception routing to AP teams
ENERGY FORECASTING

Forecast load. Reduce spend. Verify savings.

Per-site load forecasting and optimization — with measurement & verification baked in so finance trusts the numbers.

  • Site-level load forecasting
  • Tariff & demand-response optimization
  • M&V dashboards for finance & sustainability
COMPLIANCE & KNOWLEDGE RETRIEVAL

Answer compliance questions from your own documents.

Retrieval-augmented systems grounded in your policies, contracts, and SOPs — with citations supervisors can defend.

  • Document grounding & citations
  • Access controls by role & site
  • Audit trail of every answer

How we deliver

A proven path from problem to production — five phases, one accountability line, from a focused pilot to a multi-site rollout. The last two, Operate and Maintain, are where we stay: partnership, not hand-off.

DiscoverWeeks 1–3

Find the highest-value, most feasible AI opportunities in how you actually operate — ending in a prioritized roadmap. We'll tell you if AI isn't the right tool.

DesignWeeks 3–6

Architect the solution — data, the AI/deterministic split, and governance — to fit your existing CMMS, ERP, and mobile tools. No rip-and-replace.

BuildWeeks 6–14

Ship a working system in weeks. Synthetic-first, so we start day one with no data dependency — real integrations, real users, measured against the outcome.

OperateOngoing

Run it with you. Measure real outcomes, tune, and earn trust on live work — with change management and field enablement built in.

MaintainOngoing

Keep it healthy and evolving as your needs, data, and the technology change. We don't disappear at handoff — value compounds.
