Traditionally, building data and as-built information is stored away in physical format and sometimes inaccessible altogether. One of the reasons behind the development of Twinview’s digital twin platform for the property sector was to solve this issue and make life easier for facility managers.
Twinview aggregates the huge amounts of data that a building produces as well as storing as-built information digitally on a single platform that is easily accessible and maintains the golden thread of information.
The introduction of Twinview for iOS and Android allows facility managers to take full control over daily building operations including access to QR codes, IoT data streams and Bluetooth beacon technology.
Our mobile app has a built-in QR code manager and scanner that gives facility managers powerful tools to deploy QR codes across all of their assets, spaces and equipment. By simply pointing your camera at a discreet QR code, all associated asset data can be recalled instantly.
Our built-in Bluetooth beacon support opens exciting features such as automatic location and the tracking of assets. Learning how different spaces are being utilised means that a building’s performance can be truly optimised. The use of Bluetooth beacon technology allows facility managers to become more efficient in their roles which in turn drives down operational costs.
With Twinview, IoT-enabled technology such as sensors are placed around a building in order to monitor the performance of particular spaces and assets. This produces live data streams relating to functions such as heating, lighting and cooling. Accessing this information via our mobile app can help FM’s gauge how much energy they are expending including carbon usage. This is vital as it offers the ability to understand where money is being spent so you can come up with solutions to reduce costs.
Twinview is a browser-based digital twin platform for the property sector connecting building systems' data to a 3D model viewed on a single dashboard. Twinview becomes your first step to achieving Net Zero by providing continuous live data and optimising building performance whilst reducing costs and improving the user experience.

With NHS waiting lists exceeding 7.4 million appointments, improving operational efficiency across estates and facilities is more important than ever. While no single solution can resolve systemic pressures, clearer visibility of infrastructure and capacity can support better decision-making. Twinview provides an operational intelligence layer that brings together estate, asset and space data into a single, trusted view. By connecting existing systems and surfacing real-time information, it helps NHS organisations understand how rooms, assets and environments are being used and where constraints may be emerging. At East Sussex NHS, Twinview supports improved room occupancy oversight and operational coordination. These practical applications demonstrate how better infrastructure visibility contributes to smoother day-to-day operations, protecting clinical capacity and reducing avoidable disruption. By strengthening the operational foundations that healthcare delivery depends on, organisations are better equipped to manage demand pressures in a measured and informed way.

A new report from the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) and The King’s Fund makes a compelling case: improving housing is one of the most effective ways to reduce health inequalities in the UK. Affordable, secure and good-quality homes function as a form of health infrastructure, shaping everyday conditions long before someone seeks clinical care. Delivering this vision, however, requires more than policy ambition. Housing providers need strong operational capability, clear visibility of asset condition and compliance status, and the ability to identify and address issues before they escalate. This is where digital foundations become critical. Twinview acts as an operational intelligence layer across housing portfolios, bringing together asset information, compliance records, system performance data and environmental insights into a single, structured view. By connecting existing systems and surfacing trusted information, it enables housing teams to see how their buildings are performing and where intervention may be required.

Higher education institutions manage some of the most complex and diverse estates in the public sector, encompassing multi-campus environments, ageing infrastructure, specialist teaching and research facilities and high levels of daily occupancy. Effective estate management is therefore critical to supporting academic excellence, meeting sustainability commitments and maintaining financial resilience. As operational pressures increase and resources tighten, universities are increasingly exploring innovations such as digital twins to improve visibility and control across their estates.
