This report was commissioned by Planon and prepared by Joy Trinquet with Susan Clarke of Verdantix Ltd. and published in March 2022. Applying the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, the analysis is based on two-hour live product demonstrations with pre-set usage scenarios and supplier responses to a 238-point questionnaire. To understand customer needs Verdantix reviewed the data from a survey of 285 real estate and facilities decision-makers. The in-depth benchmarking concludes that eight suppliers lead the market and they demonstrated an excellent breadth of functionality and strong market momentum. The analysis also reveals that other providers offer strong propositions in workplace management, space management, mobile solutions, and tenant-facing engagement.
