You're In Business

Nine1three presents a viable B2B IoT solution for the affordable housing sector, addressing a genuine need for retrofitting existing assets. However, the submission is critically undermined by demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). While the core business concept is sound and timely, the lack of verifiable evidence and the low-effort, exaggerated responses in key fields result in a score reflecting minimal proven value.

Description
nine1three is a complete cloud-based digital building management solution dedicated to the affordable housing sector. Focussing on existing buildings with existing systems and assets, we turn multi-occupancy residential buildings into smart buildings and support landlords to work smarter and more efficiently. To achieve this, we bring together remote monitoring and holistic analytics into one bespoke and modular solution. We use Internet of Things technology in unique ways to allow us to remotely monitor any building, any asset and any system in real-time giving landlords one platform for everything. Monitoring data is then fed into our dedicated analytics platform which allows us to integrate data from any other source or system such as housing management systems, finance systems, contractor systems, smart emergency lighting systems or existing IoT systems. Our advanced analytics platform then transforms it all into simple, relevant and actionable insight to support you in delivering your services. Welcome, to Digital Building Management.
