Arcus FM Scoop Technology In FM Award 2022

Members of the Arcus FM team with their FM Award 2022 Technology led, people driven facilities management company Arcus FM were presented with the prestigious Technology in FM 2022 award at the recently-held Workplace Futures Conference.

Running since 2013, the Technology in FM Award – organised and administered by i-FM – recognises those businesses that drive forward innovation to make exemplary improvements in business processes and performance across the facilities management sector.

In order to secure the award, businesses are encouraged to submit details of technology that has a demonstrable return on investment for end users, supports them to become more efficient or effective, or helps them realise their organisational goals.

In Arcus’ submission, all of the above were realised and more. By applying the experience of their technical experts, their proprietary Helix platform, and boots on the ground to tag and manage assets across a vast and complex estate, Arcus had added considerable value.

Their customer – a major food retailer with stores and depots across the UK – was able to optimise the yield of their Photovoltaic (PV) energy assets across their estate, see the performance in real-time through a dedicated Energy dashboard in Helix, and optimise their energy usage accordingly to save cost and reduce their carbon impact.

Head of Technical Services for Arcus FM, Mark Arendt comments, “Monitoring a customer’s PV system performance requires substantial data analysis, which our product delivers within seconds through data visualisation – saving time, money and energy in real-time. This coupled with the knowledge and expertise of our SMaRT hub team supports our customers to have a substantial impact on their energy usage and their maintenance and capital planning decisions.

“I’m so proud of everyone that was involved in securing the award, and the work they do for our customers day-in, day-out.”

Chief Commercial Officer at Arcus, Theresa Bell, adds, “As a technology led, people driven business we’re thrilled to be recognised for the great work we’re doing to provide substantial savings and profitable outcomes for our customers - thanks to the specialist expertise and capabilities of our teams. We work in true partnership with our customers, innovating together and taking the time to understand their priorities and the nuances of their estate, and it’s this approach that has led us to have an award-winning proposition.”
