Innovation in Action: How Apleona Ireland is Shaping the Future of Facilities Management
At Apleona Ireland, innovation is not an initiative—it’s a mindset that drives how we operate. From digital transformation to predictive maintenance and sustainable practices, we challenge the present, explore emerging technologies, and deliver integrated solutions that redefine facility management performance.
A Culture of Innovation
Our dedicated Innovation Committee plays a central role in identifying and implementing forward-thinking strategies. By closely monitoring trends, testing new methodologies, and encouraging employee input, we ensure our services are continuously evolving. Platforms like Apleona Spark help surface grassroots ideas, with over 100 submissions in 2024 alone creating a culture where innovation is everyone’s responsibility.
Transforming Facility Management with Smart Technology
We are embracing technology to simplify and enhance operations across all sites. Our Optimise app powers digital task management, audits, compliance tracking, and sustainable waste processes—contributing to a 95% reduction in paper usage. We also integrate IoT sensors for demand-based services, like smart cleaning, helping optimise resources in real time.
Smarter Cleaning with Cobots
Our use of collaborative robots (cobots) is revolutionising cleaning services. These autonomous machines handle repetitive, high-precision tasks alongside our teams—boosting accuracy, improving consistency, and allowing staff to focus on hygiene-critical and client-facing responsibilities, particularly in compliance-sensitive environments.
GreenSpace: Innovation for a Sustainable Future
Sustainability is embedded in our innovation strategy. Through our GreenSpace programme, we deploy real-time energy monitoring, intelligent water controls, and circular waste models. These bespoke solutions support biodiversity, cut carbon emissions, and align with long-term environmental goals. With built-in carbon footprint tracking across services, we help clients make informed, responsible choices.
Smart Buildings with BMS Expertise
We provide full Building Management System services, from installation to technical consultancy. Our in-house specialists design integrated systems that enhance building performance through live diagnostics, energy optimisation, and remote system control—laying the foundation for smart, responsive facilities.
Predictive Power: Our Partnership with Eastway
In partnership with Eastway, we deliver condition-based monitoring and predictive maintenance. Smart sensors and secure dashboards offer real-time insights into asset performance—enabling early fault detection, reducing unplanned downtime, and extending equipment lifespan. Clients benefit from transparent reporting and informed decision-making that drive long-term value.
Proven Impact, Measurable Results
Our innovation-led approach delivers clear, measurable outcomes: a 95% reduction in paper usage and manual processes, over 100 innovation ideas submitted by staff in 2024, real-time carbon tracking across services and menus, and enhanced compliance, safety, and operational efficiency.
Leading with Innovation, Delivering with Purpose
We don’t just adapt to change—we lead it. By investing in people, platforms, and partnerships, we are shaping the future of integrated facility management. Whether through cobots, GreenSpace, predictive technologies or digital workflows, our goal remains the same: to create smarter, more sustainable environments that deliver lasting value to our clients.
