Potential for cost reduction
Buildings contribute more than 35% to global CO2 emissions. Market research shows that on average today’s workplaces are occupied only for 50%.

Full integration with Microsoft Outlook(TM) for reservations eases the accessibility to meeting rooms, e-conferencing, and shared facilities to reduce time consuming, expensive, and CO2 producing travels. New mobile solutions for Professional Field Services support ‘just in time’ maintenance to meet legislation, efficient resource utilization, and greener buildings.
Sustainable standards
The adaptation of sustainable standards like LEED and BREEAM complete Planon’s support in Green Building initiatives.
