The Urbanise Voice

Multi-million dollar property investment company, Nikos Property Group, has recently selected Urbanise as their cloud-based solution provider for facilities and asset management. With a premium portfolio in Victoria, Nikos Property Group were in need of a solution that offered complete transparency in one simple platform that would enhance efficiency and streamline operations.

WT has over 70 years’ experience providing seamless and efficient consultancy services in the building, construction and infrastructure sectors. WT will utilise the Urbanise E-services storefront to offer customers a unique online portal with direct access to WT services and enhanced document management operations.

Dubai Asset Management has recently selected Urbanises integrated Facilities and Strata platform to manage their 90 Owners Associations consisting of 16,000 units. Established in 2006, Dubai Asset Management serves 10 communities across the city of Dubai with a commitment to creating meaningful and enriching living experiences.

The Urbanise Facilities product team is heavily focused on a number of major feature developments.  These include a job time-sheet module for self delivery staff to book time against jobs and a facility bookings module to book out different amenities such as locations, areas and assets. 

At the same time we're undertaking a large upgrade of our global search engine that is used widely across all products for efficient filtering and searching across the platform (eg. jobs, requests, locations, assets, job plans etc.) 

The upgrade will allow us to provide more options to our customers around filtering and searching their large data sets.

Over the past few months we’ve been very excited to see usage of the Urbanise Strata platform as more customers move from our legacy Strataware system. We also launched another four PICA branches with very positive feedback from their users. To support the continued uptake of Urbanise Strata, the engineering team continues to deliver features thick and fast. Some are regional requirements, others are roadmap, and lots are based on user feedback.
