Building management systems
HVAC, lighting and plant control on vendor-neutral BMS — Tridium Niagara, Schneider EcoStruxure, Siemens Desigo, Distech and Honeywell.
Smart Property Solutions
Building management, energy, access and security on one platform.
Integrated BMS, sub-metering, access control, surveillance and tenant services for commercial estates, hospitality groups and residential portfolios — engineered around the operator, not the installer.
Overview
One smart-property stack instead of six disconnected systems.
Promation SA unifies the systems that keep modern properties running — HVAC, lighting, sub-metering, access, CCTV, fire interface and tenant services — into a single, observable platform. We design open, vendor-neutral architectures using BACnet, Modbus, KNX, OPC UA and REST so property owners are never locked into one supplier or installer, and future technology can be added without ripping out what already works. Every system is documented, secured and benchmarked.

Problems Solved
The operational pain we remove.
Every engagement starts with the production, compliance and cost problems that brought you to us — not a generic feature list.
Recoveries lower than actual utility cost
Impact: Common-area and unmetered consumption silently erodes NOI every month, with no way to identify which tenant or asset is responsible.
HVAC running 24/7 in empty zones
Impact: Massive avoidable energy spend, accelerated plant wear, and tenant complaints about comfort despite the bill.
Access, CCTV and BMS as three separate contracts
Impact: Three help desks, three SLAs and three monthly invoices for systems that should respond to the same incident together.
No portfolio-level view of building performance
Impact: Asset managers cannot benchmark, prioritise capex or report ESG metrics with confidence across the estate.
Legacy BMS controllers nobody supports anymore
Impact: Critical building functions running on hardware with no spares, no licence path and no documented logic.
Tenant experience driven by complaints, not data
Impact: Issues only surface through emails and calls — air quality, lift outages and temperature swings remain invisible until they hurt retention.
Key Capabilities
What we engineer, install and support.
02
Energy & utility metering
Sub-metering for electricity, water, gas and heat with automated tenant billing exports and tariff modelling.
03
Access control
Card, mobile credential and biometric access integrated with HR, visitor management and tenant directories.
04
Surveillance & analytics
IP CCTV with line-crossing, queue, occupancy and licence-plate analytics, integrated to incident response workflows.
05
Indoor environment
Air-quality, CO₂, temperature and humidity sensing tied directly to HVAC and ventilation control loops.
06
Tenant & guest experience
Tenant portals, fault logging, room-control integration and service requests routed to operations and contractors.
07
Lighting & DALI
Daylight-harvesting, occupancy-based and scene-controlled lighting via DALI, KNX and PoE — measurable savings, simple operator UI.
08
Integrated security
Access, intrusion, CCTV and intercom unified into one operations view with role-based response and full audit logs.
09
Operations & SLA reporting
Automated reports on uptime, energy, incidents and SLA performance distributed to landlord, tenant and FM stakeholders.

Benefits
Why operators choose Promation SA.
Lower operating cost
Targeted HVAC scheduling, lighting control, sub-metering and demand management consistently cut utility and maintenance spend.
Safer premises
Unified access, intrusion and surveillance with rapid, well-rehearsed incident response workflows.
Better tenant experience
Comfortable, well-lit, well-ventilated spaces, frictionless access and faster fault response — measurable retention drivers.
Portfolio intelligence
Benchmark performance across buildings — not just within a single asset — and prioritise capex on evidence.
Future-flexible
Open protocols mean new chillers, meters, lifts, EV chargers and PV all plug into the same platform — without rip-and-replace.
Cyber-secure
Building networks segmented, authenticated and monitored — aligned to ISO 27001 and increasingly demanded by enterprise tenants.

FAQ
Common questions.
Will this replace our existing BMS?
Not necessarily. We integrate with the BMS you already own where it makes sense, and only recommend replacement when the existing platform is end-of-life, unsupported or genuinely blocking your operational goals.
Can tenants be billed automatically?
Yes. Our metering platforms export consumption data directly into billing systems, or generate tenant-ready statements with tariff and surcharge logic applied.
Do you support multi-building portfolios?
Yes. We design specifically for portfolio-level reporting so executives and asset managers can benchmark, prioritise and report across the whole estate from one dashboard.
How do you handle cybersecurity?
Building systems are segmented from corporate and tenant networks, authenticated centrally, monitored continuously, patched on a defined cadence and aligned to ISO 27001 controls.
Can you integrate lifts, generators and fire panels?
Yes. We integrate at the protocol or dry-contact level for status monitoring and alarm consolidation, while respecting safety-critical standards on the underlying systems.
What about ESG and green-building reporting?
Automated reports align to GBCSA, Energy Performance Certificate and common ESG frameworks — using measured data rather than estimates.
Do you take over an existing installation?
Yes. We do takeover audits, document the as-built state, remediate critical defects and assume support under a defined SLA.
How is this priced?
Typically a fixed-price design and integration phase, followed by an annual support and optimisation contract with clear scope and SLA targets.
