As buildings and cities evolve, the need for intelligent, sustainable and resilient spaces becomes paramount. Nagarro, a leading digital product engineering and technology consultancy company, is at the forefront of this digital transformation, seamlessly integrating advanced technology with innovative solutions to redefine real estate.

Harnessing Digital Engineering and AI

Nagarro’s expertise in digital engineering and artificial intelligence addresses the complex challenges of modern urbanization. Its solutions span prop tech, construction tech, safety and security, occupant experience, sustainability, and utility services. Central to its approach is the RISE framework—Resilience, Intelligence, Sustainability, and Experience—which drives the digitization and transformation of buildings into smart, cognitive spaces. This framework supports the development of bespoke applications and key performance indicators (KPIs), empowering clients to navigate industry complexities and unlock new possibilities for innovation and growth.

Experience in creating Smart Building solutions

Adeptness in promptly addressing issues is one of its stand-out features. Nagarro understands the challenges faced by clients due to the heterogeneous nature of the real estate ecosystem, which complicates the management and integration of various systems and applications within buildings. Nagarro has experience working across the entire real estate lifecycle from building design, development, operations, maintenance and tenancy. It has developed custom solutions for clients across the four guiding principles of the RISE approach.
“By leveraging our proprietary RISE approach and cutting-edge technologies, we enable buildings to anticipate and respond to evolving threats, optimize energy usage and provide a seamless, human-centric experience,” says Pranay Arora, global practice leader for smart buildings and proptech.

Empowering Smart Building Integration

The biggest challenge with buildings today is the heterogeneous nature of available systems. The Smart Building OS (SBOS) accelerator by Nagarro is a platform designed to streamline the integration and management of diverse systems, acting as a central nervous system.

SBOS aggregates data from various sources—including IoT devices, sensors, and enterprise applications—providing a unified interface for all building personas. This platform facilitates seamless connectivity and interoperability between systems like IWMS, EAM, ERP, CAFM, and BMS through integration adapters and supports crosssystem workflow automation, data streaming, and structured and unstructured data management, ensuring robust governance, compliance and security. By leveraging advanced analytics and insights, SBOS enables operational efficiency and sustainability in smart buildings.

1 - An IoT and AI-powered facility knowledge management system significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime.
2 - Another notable project involved a supply chain traceability solution for a global retail leader, ensuring transparency and adherence to sustainability standards.
3 - A salesforce-based solution for a leading construction data organization to help faster quote generation and close more deals.
