SmartViz, the award-winning AI-powered analytics start-up, begins 2026 with a new website and big impact numbers for university and commercial estate managers.
The vision of a smarter future
SmartViz was set up four years ago because, although buildings are getting smarter, they aren't smart enough. Most modern buildings have smart elevators, automated HVAC and clever lighting sensors. But they ignore what matters most: people. They don't know how many occupants are in the building, where they are, or what they're doing.
Market-leading AI-powered technology
Drawing on decades of expertise and AI-powered technology, SmartViz has created a platform that puts people at the heart of building decisions.
SmartViz connects IoT sensors, timetabling systems and building management data to create a living digital twin of your estate. This means you get a unique, real-time, dynamic view of how your spaces are really being used and can make decisions based on insights not intuition.
A global impact
Working with estate managers including Cardiff Metropolitan University, Wolverhampton University and Vodaphone, to date, SmartViz has saved over £65 million in costs and benefited over 350,000 people. The business has won multiple awards and its founder, Shrikant Sharma regularly speaks at key events promoting his vision of a better way to build.
Big ambitions for 2026
As we start 2026, SmartViz is growing fast and set to benefit even more organisations, by saving costs and changing the way they make estate decisions. But, more importantly, it will change how the buildings are used, improving the experience for the people inside them and reducing energy consumption and waste.
