SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 16, 2023 /CNW/ -- Frost & Sullivan recently assessed the Internet of Things (IoT)-driven smart buildings industry and, based on its analysis results, recognizes Planon with the 2023 Global Product Leadership Award. The company is highly committed to innovation, evident through its comprehensive portfolio of proptech-enabled smart building solutions, far surpassing its contemporaries in terms of solution diversity. Specifically, the company's complete toolset integrates third-party technologies and solutions, driving cost-efficient, scalable, and value-focused digitalization in the real estate and facility management sectors.
