ISS has announced a global partnership with Haltian, a Finnish IoT and product development company, as it seeks to take advantage of new technologies and digitalisation to make the facilities it manages smarter, more user friendly and efficient.

Internet of Things technologies (IoT) are being adopted more and more in the facility service industry using data to drive more automated building systems. For example, lighting and climate control and providing great experiences for building occupants.

Haltian has already been the main provider of IoT solution for ISS Finland, and will now serve as a global partner in providing ISS with reliable and scalable IoT solutions that compliment ISS’ vision for facility services.

Haltian’s Thingsee IoT solution platform is a unique data collection hub, which offers an easy, secure and cost-effective way for businesses and enterprises to digitise their operations.

Sam Lavers, Global Head of Digital Excellence & IoT, ISS Group commented: “At ISS we set a high standard for our IoT partners in order to maintain safe and secure delivery of device data into our solutions. We were delighted that Haltian were willing and capable of meeting these requirements and look forward to boosting our digitalisation portfolio with Haltian as an ISS partner.”

Jari Tiirikainen, Head of Digital Excellence for ISS Finland said: “For ISS the most important thing in digitalisation is to create an ecosystem that includes partners who are agile, innovative and capable to adapt to the fast-changing pace of FM industry. Haltian has proved itself to be one of those partners.”

Haltian CEO Pasi Leipälä added: “Our partnership with ISS will create new kind of facility services globally with the help of IoT solutions.

“Our goal is to make IoT easy for everyone and we are excited to help ISS bring digital solutions as part of their facility management services.”
