Where does Sixense stand in the digital transformation of real estate, and does Romania have a digital buildings market?

We facilitate the digital transformation of processes related to a building’s structural health and safety. From construction site monitoring to complex project surveillance, our tools revolutionize traditional monitoring by enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility. Our innovative solutions even create digital replicas of buildings to assess their behavior over time and in response to various factors.

Why should investors embrace this digital shift in real estate?

Efficiency, transparency, and cost reduction are the key benefits. Digital tools streamline collaboration, accountability, and error detection, leading to cost efficiencies. Moreover, societal and technological advancements, like smart cities and IoT, pressure stakeholders to embrace technology for operational efficiency and service responsiveness.
