A premier property management company is known for its expansive portfolio of large structures, including malls and corporate buildings. With a workforce of over 300 specialised employees, their operations span a substantial geographical region. They are dedicated to managing these properties with an emphasis on sustainability, energy efficiency, and water conservation. Our software, HYDRA, was adopted to centralise and optimise comprehensive energy, water and equipment management across their entire portfolio.
This case study details our work with the property management company, highlighting the challenges they faced, the solutions we implemented, and the impact that followed.
Portfolio-wide energy and water usage reduction
Enhanced lifecycle of assets
Decrease in carbon footprint
The property management company faced the daunting task of monitoring and reducing energy and water consumption as well as equipment monitoring across numerous buildings.
Each property had its own set of data and systems, making it difficult to compare performance and implement uniform efficiency strategies. The lack of consolidated real-time data led to delayed responses to inefficiencies, inflated utility costs, and challenges in meeting tenant expectations and sustainability benchmarks.
Their existing tools were insufficient for the scale and complexity of their operations, as they did not address the different aspects needed to monitor buildings as a whole, resulting in numerous, small niche solutions instead of a consolidated place to manage and action all aspects of their operations.
They needed a solution that could unify their data streams and provide actionable insights at both the individual building and portfolio-wide level.
The company is poised to further leverage the full potential of HYDRA by integrating it into new property acquisitions and exploring its utility for enhancing tenant comfort and safety. Future plans include utilising predictive analytics for energy procurement strategies and further automating building management systems to keep pace with smart building technologies.
As HYDRA's AI capabilities evolve, the company is committed to maintaining its leadership in sustainable property management, with a vision to set industry standards for energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.
This story is not unique to this property management company. Their challenges are experienced by most organisations with multiple buildings and large sites - from operational inefficiencies to astonomical utility costs. HYDRA stands out with its flexibility to adapt swiftly to your business needs, ensuring a solution that's as unique as your operations.

Join us in transforming building management with real-time data, streamlined operations, and impactful results, making every action count towards a sustainable, efficient future.
Access to education is one of our country's greatest challenges. Schools are either inadequately equipped, overcrowded or simply don't exist in some areas. The good news is that 4IR technology such as AI and IoT can change this.
Lethabo jolted awake in bed as his phone rang at 2:00 in the morning. As the senior maintenance and operations manager at one of the largest plants in South Africa, he was used to this. He spoke to the security manager on the line for a few minutes then started getting dressed. Cable theft.
With operations running round-the-clock, the challenge of managing substantial energy and water costs was daunting...
