June 23rd, Sydney – Akila, a global leader in digital twin and smart building technology, today announced a strategic partnership with Thinxtra, an Australia-based Internet of Things (IoT) solutions provider. The collaboration marks a significant step in Akila’s regional expansion and demonstrates growing demand for digital solutions that drive sustainability, efficiency, and compliance across the built environment.
This partnership combines Akila’s advanced digital twin platform which unifies energy, asset, and carbon data into a single intelligent interface, with Thinxtra’s proven expertise in deploying connected IoT infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand. Akila powers the software intelligence layer enabling real-time monitoring, AI-led optimization, and portfolio-level decision-making, while Thinxtra delivers reliable field execution through expert integration, deployment, and support services.
The partnership is currently supporting the rollout of a smart building solution for a global retail brand with multiple commercial sites across Australia. This builds on a multi-year collaboration between Akila and the brand spanning Asia, Europe, and America, covering more than 4 million square meters of building assets. In Australia, Thinxtra ensures successful local implementation through hardware integration and connectivity, while Akila leads project delivery through its digital twin and AI-driven analytics engine.
“We’re proud to partner with Akila to bring smarter, more sustainable operations to life in Australia,” said Sam Sharief, Chief Operating Officer at Thinxtra. “The real value in any smart building project lies in turning raw data into actionable information, and doing it at scale. By combining Akila’s powerful platform with our local expertise in deploying connected solutions, we’re helping organisations unlock meaningful efficiencies, reduce waste and make faster, smarter decisions.”
The current rollout focuses on enabling data-driven energy management and operational optimization in 11 commercial sites across Australia. This project will include energy monitoring, HVAC optimization, asset management, and carbon tracking, providing full visibility into building performance across the portfolio. The solution is expected to deliver 15–20% energy savings, increase operational efficiency, and support ESG compliance, creating a scalable foundation for future sustainability initiatives.
“Australia is a key market in Akila’s global expansion strategy, and Thinxtra has been an exceptional partner in turning our platform’s potential into real-world outcomes,” said Calvin Sun, Head of Asia Pacific, Akila. “Their local knowledge, professionalism, and technical execution give us confidence in scaling Akila projects throughout the region.”
Following the success of this deployment, Akila and Thinxtra plan to extend their collaboration across Australia and New Zealand, and deepen their impact within the regional facility management sector.
