SmartSpace Software Plc
("SmartSpace", the "Company" or the "Group")
New Distribution and Software Integration Agreements with
Workplace Platform Provider, XY Sense
SmartSpace Software Plc, (AIM:SMRT) the leading provider of
'Integrated Space Management Software' for smart buildings,
commercial spaces and hospitality, is pleased to announce that two
of its group businesses, Anders + Kern ("A+K") and Space Connect
have signed agreements with Australian workplace software provider
XY Sense.
Summary of Agreements
-- A+K has strengthened its digital workplace solution portfolio
signing a distribution agreement with XY Sense, to sell XY Senses's
real-time computer vision sensor hardware and analytics platform,
to businesses across the UK through A+K's 200 resellers network
-- Space Connect to integrate its workplace software platform
into XY Sense to enable an end-to-end solution for COVID-safe
office utilisation monitoring and space booking, distributed by A+K
in the UK
XY Sense is an Australian head quartered proptech startup,
Co-founded by Serraview Co-Founder, Alex Birch and Luke Murray. It
has designed and engineered a world-leading smart sensor platform
to help businesses access and act on office space utilisation data
in real-time.
The XY Sense platform consists of proprietary computer vision
sensor hardware and an AI powered analytics platform, where
property teams can monitor workspace utilisation in real-time as
well as customise dashboards including meeting room occupancy, desk
utilisation, on a given floor, with teams physically interacting
with the office environment.
Integrating with Space Connect's booking automation and visitor
management platform, XY Sense will now be able to allow joint users
to close-the-loop on space booking in agile work environments with
XY Sense sensors able to detect whether a booked room, desk or
space is actually being used within a given time period. Unused
space can be recorded as a no-show and updated via Space Connect to
be made available for others to book and use, making offices more
efficient and improving experiences for workers.
The integration also supports COVID-safe office re-entries with
XY Sense's real-time monitoring and social distancing alerts able
to be configured with Space Connect's booking features to support
new office occupancy limits and safely match supply and demand as
people return to offices.
A+K this week announced the launch of its new website. For
further details go to: www.anders-kern.co.uk .
Commenting on the partnership, Steven Black, Managing Director
at A+K, said: "XY Sense may be a new market entrant but we've been
seriously impressed with the large floor coverage, positional
accuracy and real-time analytics capability of their workplace
sensor solution. The integration with Space Connect takes their
offering one step further enabling an end-to-end solution for
office utilisation monitoring and space booking that has clear
workplace experience benefits beyond just making an office
COVID-safe".
Matt Pope, Managing Director of Space Connect added : "Space
Connect already offers advanced COVID-19 space management safety
features and with this integration we're able to use real-time
sensor data to close the loop on space booking, usage tracking and
cleaning. We're really excited about this integration with XY Sense
and property teams should be too."
XY Sense Co-founder and CEO, Alex Birch further commented :
"We're excited to be partnering with A+K to offer a new kind of
workplace sensor solution to businesses across the UK. Our advanced
workplace sensor system combined with our new integration with
Space Connect puts real-time, pinpoint accurate utilisation data in
the hands of property teams, helping them ensure a COVID-safe
office re-entry and to measure before they act on workplace changes
or downsizing in response to changed market conditions."
