Our take

Digitalisation and automation technologies are rapidly being adopted by many businesses around the globe who are looking for a way to run operations more smoothly, all while reducing costs. As technologies continue to advance, the need for automation systems will also continue rising, paving the way for a more efficient user experience.

Thing-it is a SaaS platform allowing buildings to be operated and managed digitally, with a focus on optimising buildings operations and energy consumption for a more sustainable future. Through the Thing-it platform, office spaces are turned into digital hubs where smartphone users are connected to the building's facilities, allowing for better building optimisations in a cost-effective way that results in up to 46% energy savings.

Since its inception in 2016, Thing-it has secured over 50,000 users in 28 countries and is serving 10% of the DAX companies in its home country of Germany. The company also benefits from the success of multiple funding rounds, allowing it to continue its product development and expand upon its existing customer base to reach a wider audience and make a more sustainable workplace for the future.
