Centralized Command & Control
Manage building operations from a single platform. Deploy control strategies, standardize schedules and optimize performance across hundreds or thousands of buildings—without sending technicians to every site.
Small Buildings Create Big Operational Problems
Most organisations manage energy and sustainability reporting using spreadsheets, emails and manually collected utility data from dozens or even hundreds of suppliers.
Operational Pain Points
Have no Building Management System (BMS)
Use different controllers and hardware
Were commissioned by different contractors
Follow inconsistent operating schedules
Require onsite technicians for even simple changes
Why Simple Building Changes Take So Long
Creating a work order
Dispatching a technician
Travelling to site
Logging into local equipment
Making the change
Testing the result
Many organisations delay operational improvements because implementing even simple changes costs more than the expected savings.
One Platform. One Command Centre.
Switch provides a centralized operational layer that allows organisations to manage building controls consistently across an entire portfolio.
Instead of treating every building as a unique engineering project, Switch creates a common operational framework that enables changes to be deployed quickly, consistently and at scale.
Core Capabilities:
Centralized command and control
Portfolio-wide schedule management
Remote configuration updates
Standardized control strategies
Portfolio-wide automation
Role-based approvals
Change auditing
Operational reporting
Exception management
Buildings may differ in age, equipment and control systems—but operational standards shouldn't.
Switch enables organisations to define standard operating strategies and deploy them consistently across one building, a group of buildings or an entire portfolio.
Examples include:
HVAC operating schedules
Holiday calendars
Occupancy schedules
Lighting schedules
Equipment start/stop sequences
Temperature setpoints
Demand response strategies
Every unnecessary site visit costs time and money.
By enabling remote deployment of operational changes, Switch significantly reduces the need to dispatch technicians for routine configuration updates.
Instead of sending someone to hundreds of sites, operational teams can implement changes centrally and monitor results in real time.
The Result Is:
Lower maintenance costs
Faster implementation
Greater operational consistency
Reduced travel
Improved responsiveness
Temperature setpoints
Rather than waiting for sites to report problems, Switch enables central operations teams to proactively optimise building performance.
Analytics identify opportunities. Automation applies improvements. Operations teams maintain oversight while spending less time on repetitive manual tasks.
Intelligence that drives measurable results
Reduce Operational Costs
Minimise unnecessary truck rolls and onsite engineering visits.
Standardize Operations
Apply consistent operating strategies across every building.
Improve Energy Performance
Implement schedule changes quickly and measure their impact across the portfolio.
Increase Agility
Respond rapidly to changing business requirements, occupancy patterns or seasonal conditions.
Scale Small Teams
Enable a central operations team to effectively manage hundreds or thousands of buildings.
Most building automation solutions are designed to optimise individual buildings.
Switch is designed to operate portfolios. By combining a Digital Building Foundation with centralized command and control, Switch enables organisations to deploy operational changes consistently across diverse building estates—regardless of differences in equipment, vendors or control systems.
Routine improvements that once required hundreds of technician visits can be implemented centrally, reducing operational costs while improving consistency, governance and building performance.
Standardise HVAC Operating Hours
Update schedules across every branch before seasonal changes
Public Holiday Scheduling
Apply holiday calendars consistently across an entire portfolio.
Demand Response
Adjust operating strategies during peak demand events.
Occupancy Optimisation
Align operating schedules with actual building utilisation.
Emergency Response
Implement temporary operational changes across multiple sites from a central command centre.
Portfolio-Wide Optimisation
Which issues will have the greatest business impact?
This solution is ideal for organisations managing multiple buildings, including
Financial Services
Optimize Branch Networks, Campuses and Corporate Offices
Standardize building operations, benchmark performance and identify savings across global branch networks.
Commercial Office
Improve Occupant Experience and Operational Performance
Real-time visibility into building performance while optimizing energy consumption and workplace experience.
Healthcare
Support Critical Environments and Operational Reliability
Continuous monitoring to support patient care, safety and regulatory compliance around the clock.
Retail
Improve Performance Across Distributed Portfolios
Centrally monitor, identify issues and optimize operations across hundreds of dispersed store locations.
Education
Create Smarter, More Efficient Learning Environments
Reduce operational costs and improve learning environments while managing limited facility budgets.
Data Centers & Critical Facilities
Improve Visibility, Reliability and Operational Control
Unified operational view to identify risks and maintain optimal conditions across critical infrastructure.

Centralized Command & Control allows facilities teams to remotely monitor, manage and optimize multiple buildings from a single platform. Instead of making changes at each site individually, organizations can standardize schedules, deploy operational updates and monitor performance across their entire building portfolio. Switch helps centralize building operations while improving consistency and reducing manual effort.
Managing multiple buildings becomes easier when operational data and building controls are centralized. Switch enables organizations to monitor performance, update schedules, apply operational standards and manage building systems across hundreds or thousands of locations from a single interface.
Yes. Many routine operational tasks, such as updating HVAC schedules, adjusting setpoints and deploying control strategies, can be managed remotely. Switch allows facilities teams to implement changes centrally, reducing the need for onsite technician visits while improving operational consistency.
Switch enables organizations to create standardized HVAC operating schedules and deploy them across individual buildings, regions or entire portfolios. This helps maintain consistent operating practices, improve energy efficiency and simplify seasonal or occupancy-based schedule updates.
Centralized building management reduces costs by minimizing unnecessary truck rolls, simplifying routine operational changes and enabling smaller facilities teams to manage larger portfolios. By automating repetitive tasks and applying changes remotely, organizations can improve efficiency while lowering maintenance expenses.
Yes. Switch integrates with a wide range of Building Management Systems (BMS), controllers and building technologies. This allows organizations to standardize operations across buildings with different vendors, equipment and control systems without replacing existing infrastructure.
Switch includes role-based permissions, approval workflows and change auditing to help organizations manage operational updates securely. Every change can be reviewed, approved and tracked, supporting consistent governance across enterprise building portfolios.
Yes. While organizations can standardize portfolio-wide operating strategies, Switch also allows buildings, regions or individual sites to maintain unique schedules based on occupancy, business hours or operational requirements.
Remote building control allows facilities teams to quickly adjust schedules, optimize equipment operation and respond to changing occupancy patterns without waiting for onsite visits. This helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining occupant comfort.
Centralized Command & Control is ideal for organizations managing distributed building portfolios, including commercial real estate owners, financial institutions, retail chains, healthcare networks, education campuses, government facilities and facilities management providers. Switch helps these organizations standardize operations, improve efficiency and scale building management across multiple locations.
