Your role & challenges. We match the solution
Digitising buildings is not an end in itself. At Equans Digital, in addition to data, we also look at the people behind the building: the individuals who manage it on a daily basis, organise maintenance, monitor performance or justify investments.
That is why we start from your operational reality. On this page, we highlight some common functions and roles involved in the digitisation of buildings. We know that this is not a complete list; every organisation is different. What do they have in common? The need for overview, control and efficiency. And that is where we make the difference.
What does digitisation mean for your role?
From technical management to strategic decision-making: every role has its own needs and goals. Yet they all strive for the same thing: greater insight, better control and more efficient working. Discover how we tailor digital solutions to your daily practice for each role.
Operation Manager
Control over performance and processes
As an Operation Manager, you want to know what works and what doesn't. You want real-time visibility into everything that affects the functioning of the building: from energy consumption to occupancy rates.
Typical challenges:
- No clear performance indicators
- Reactive rather than proactive adjustments
- Difficult reporting to management
How we help:
We provide an integrated management system with dashboards that give immediate insight into comfort, energy and the functioning of installations. You get the tools to manage based on KPIs, not gut feeling.
Facility Manager
Efficient management without unnecessary complexity
Your focus is on day-to-day management: from technical installations to user complaints. You are looking for ways to respond faster, plan more efficiently and prevent problems rather than solve them.
Typical challenges:
- A lot of time lost on manual follow-up
- Lack of centralised tools
- Technical data that is difficult to access
How we help:
We provide user-friendly dashboards, smart notifications and maintenance logic. Everything is centralised so that you lose less time and can act faster – or even work preventively.
Technical Director
Making building strategy future-proof
You look at the bigger picture: how does the building fit into the organisation's long-term vision? You think in terms of energy efficiency, sustainability and compliance.
Typical challenges:
- Energy performance is difficult to monitor
- Complex interfacing between old and new systems
- Insufficient data to justify investments
How we help:
With our data-driven approach and open systems, we help you make smart choices. We bring legacy and new technology together, ensure transparency and support you in audits, certification and ESG reporting.
Every role is unique. Every context is different.
We know that no two buildings are the same. Perhaps you are responsible for a portfolio of buildings, or you work as an external manager for an end customer.
We also consider other relevant profiles such as:
- Project engineers
- Energy coordinators
- Sustainability managers
- External consultants
At Equans Digital, we tailor our approach to your team, your processes and your environment.
We always start with your data
Our approach is built around value creation through data. We work in the following way.
- GATHER: we collect real-time data from all layers of your buildings' and installations' digital systems, from energy consumption and smart components to sensors.
- SEE: we convert that data into visibility. Dashboards that show what is happening at any given moment. From energy flows to occupancy rates, from air quality to system status.
- UNDERSTAND: we help you understand everything. With AI-driven insights and expert analysis, we reveal patterns, detect anomalies and uncover opportunities you didn't know existed.
- ACT: we then help you take action. This is where data has a concrete impact. We ensure that all critical functions of your building and installations communicate and respond in real time to optimise performance.
