  • Capture temperature + humidity + CO2 in open areas & meeting rooms
  • Get insight into comfort and health factors in the workplace

Cleaning optimization

We’ve selected Spacewell as a PropTech partner, because of the fact that they’re from an IFM background which makes that they’ve got an integrated mindset, combined with a datapoint agnostic cloud platform named Cobundu that uses an IWMS system to make the insights actionable.
