Polish proptech to sell workspace management platform in Japan

At present, spaceOS is the only workspace operating system to be selected by Hitachi to collaborate on offering a solution to its clients. With Hitachi’s technology rolled-out across every second commercial building in Japan, the opportunities for further expansion beyond the initial pilot are substantial.

The launch of the platform has been one of Hitachi’s top priorities, as the company seeks to support new working styles and improve the quality of workspace experience for its clients. The app will enable Hitachi to offer its customers features including community programming, facilities management, access control, meeting room and desk booking, vendor and services ordering and payment, and workspace analytics. The app will also provide additional tools to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection in workspaces, such as air quality control, density management, touchless access and arrival time management. As the COVID-19 outbreak speeds the evolution of workspaces, the platform will also offer commercial real estate operators an end-to-end management system to market, sell, and run flex-space.

The deal follows a €2.5 million fundraise announced earlier this month by spaceOS.

“This is an enormously exciting time for spaceOS. Hitachi is a hugely respected, global brand and we are delighted that the company has chosen to collaborate with us. This partnership is a real testament to the quality of our product, the expertise of our team, and our unrivalled open architecture, all of which have put us firmly ahead of other players in the market to ensure we were selected for this pilot. We look forward to working closely with Hitachi and to our first launches together over the next year,” Marley Fabisiewicz, Co-Founder of spaceOS comments.
