Public sector estate owners are facing challenging times. The energy crisis, cross-sector labour shortages, ambitious Net Zero targets and the changing environment are resulting in rising operational costs and tightened profit margins. Customers are seeking innovation and technology to help them modernise, achieve value for money and drive efficiencies across their building portfolio.

MRI platforms feed into the hub
In recognition of this, Amey has partnered with MRI Software, a leading provider of innovative real estate software applications, and hosted solutions to develop Technology Hub, a ‘first of its kind’ building management platform. This innovative approach to building maintenance aims to revolutionise estate management by integrating MRI Evolution Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) with complementary MRI products such as MRI Energy Management and OnLocation Footfall Analytics.
Technology Hub offers an open and connected system which, integrated with multiple building management platforms, enables users to manage reactive maintenance tasks, optimise energy consumption, and improve building operations. The platform enhances workplace environments by providing insights into desk occupancy, air quality, and room temperature, ultimately delivering a healthier and more efficient workplace for clients.
