Learn about learnd.
learnd was founded to change the way systems within a building are managed and maintained. With our unique ‘Building Performance as a Service’ offering, our customers can align how their buildings are managed to their organisational vision.
Our story
From our first jobs in the buildings industry, over ten years ago, we have always wanted to find a way to help people get more from their buildings.
During that time, we have seen many industries be transformed by new technology, yet the buildings industry has remained the same.
Many companies – both big and small – have tried and failed to revolutionise the buildings industry using technology. They relied on flashy marketing and meaningless buzzwords which, unsurprisingly, resulted in under delivery and broken promises.
learnd is different. Years of hard work and preparation has resulted in a unique architecture that combines the very best in technology with real “on the ground” delivery capability.
This is a journey and we are moving fast – with a relentless desire to help organisations get what they want and need from their buildings.
Our Mission
We want to help align your buildings with your business goals.
Why should buildings be treated differently than any other business asset? They need to be aligned to what you want to achieve as a business, but more than that, we believe that they need to be Better. For Everyone.
For us, this mantra means that they need to be safer, easier to use, more efficient and more sustainable. We’re aiming to achieve those objectives, along with delivering your business goals.
