We are proud to announce a new partnership between Akila and SIMPPLE Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPPL), bringing together two complementary approaches to the future of facilities management: connected building intelligence and autonomous robotic operations.
As buildings become more complex and expectations around efficiency, resilience, and sustainability continue to rise, facility teams are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer resources. This partnership is rooted in a shared belief that the next generation of facility operations will be driven by data, automation, and intelligent coordination between physical and digital systems.
Who is SIMPPLE?
SIMPPLE is a technology provider focused on autonomous facilities management, combining software, IoT devices, and purpose-built robotic systems to support real-world facility operations. Their solutions are designed to address everyday operational needs across commercial buildings and infrastructure, including cleaning, security, surveillance, inspections, and monitoring tasks.
What sets SIMPPLE apart is its focus on operational practicality. Their robots are not experimental concepts or lab prototypes, but systems designed to operate reliably in live environments, navigating complex facilities while collecting consistent, high-quality operational data. These robotic platforms are built to integrate into broader digital ecosystems, allowing the data they generate to be used alongside existing building systems rather than remaining siloed.
Why This Partnership Matters
Akila’s platform provides a unified digital twin and data foundation for buildings and portfolios, connecting real-time and historical data from building systems, energy infrastructure, sensors, and operational workflows. By integrating SIMPPLE’s autonomous robotics into this data environment, customers gain a more complete and actionable view of how their facilities are performing on the ground.
Through this collaboration, Akila and SIMPPLE will:
- Integrate robotic operational data with connected building systems, enabling richer performance tracking and contextual insights
- Combine physical observations from autonomous robots with building and energy data, improving visibility into facility health, resource usage, and efficiency trends
- Support the deployment of robotic automation alongside digital workflows, reducing manual workloads and allowing operations teams to focus on higher-value, strategic tasks
This approach helps bridge the gap between what is happening physically in a building and how that information is analyzed, acted upon, and optimized at scale.
Enabling Smarter, More Resilient Operations
By aligning autonomous robotics with a centralized data and analytics platform, this partnership enables facilities teams to move from reactive operations toward more proactive and predictive management. Routine tasks can be automated, performance can be continuously measured, and insights can be shared across teams and portfolios with greater clarity.
Beyond operational efficiency, this collaboration also supports broader sustainability and resilience goals. Better data visibility enables more informed decisions around resource usage, maintenance prioritization, and long-term asset performance, helping organizations reduce waste while maintaining high service standards.
Looking Ahead
Together, Akila and SIMPPLE are working toward a more integrated model of facilities management, where robotics, data, and digital workflows operate as a cohesive system rather than isolated tools. This partnership represents an important step toward smarter, more adaptive built environments that can evolve alongside the needs of the people and organizations they serve.
We look forward to the impact we will create together as we help customers unlock new levels of productivity, operational resilience, and sustainability.
