Glider acquires Sitedesk to enhance built estate management

by Mark Cantrell
If the built environment industry is to deliver on its net zero promise, there must be open access and sharing of decarbonisation data.

Glider Technology is to add innovative 3D visualisation capabilities to its intelligent management platform following its acquisition of Sitedesk.

The company says the acquisition will offer users of Glider’s platform an enhanced ability to manage their built estates; visualising their assets, optimising maintenance, and improving performance.

With over a decade of experience, Sitedesk’s technology is said to enable organisations to digitally mimic their real-world environment to help them capture, visualise and manage assets and surrounding information – whether for a unit, single building or across a large estate.

The technology integrates 3D models, reality capture and BIM data enabling simplified asset management and effective digital twin solutions for legacy buildings.

The Glider intelligent information management platform is said to provide a comprehensive suite of solutions for asset management, maintenance optimisation and improved building performance. With the integration of Sitedesk’s technology, the company says it can deliver “significant benefits” to clients, enhancing their ability to manage their estates more effectively.

Nick Hutchinson, chief executive of Glider Technology, said: “This acquisition allows us to strengthen our position in the market and address the evolving needs of our clients. By integrating Sitedesk’s capabilities, we’re enhancing the Glider platform to offer a broader visualisation capability that strengthens asset management and operational efficiency. Our goal is to provide our clients with the tools they need to succeed in managing their built estates.”

Matt Cunliffe, chief executive of Sitedesk, added: “Integrating the Sitedesk technology into the Glider platform represents an exciting opportunity for our clients. We are eager to leverage our combined expertise to deliver enhanced solutions that improve efficiency and provide greater value. Our focus remains on supporting our users throughout this transition.”
