Spatial Asset Management
An asset register that knows where things are. Click any object in the twin to see its lifecycle, documentation, live sensor state, and maintenance history — the same record your field crew updates from their phone.
How it works
Populate the register
Import an existing asset list, bring in BIM and CAD models to place equipment automatically, or register assets in the field by scanning a QR code on the hardware.
Bind to space and sensors
Each asset gets a position in the twin and, where hardware exists, a link to its live telemetry stream — so its record and its readings are the same object.
Operate and maintain
Inspect, log work, attach photos, and track condition over time. Assets needing attention are flagged visually on the 3D map rather than buried in a queue.
Capabilities
Object-level interaction
Click an object inside the 3D twin to pull its full record. Every server rack, turbine, pump, or vehicle is an interactive, queryable entity rather than a decorative mesh.
Lifecycle and maintenance history
Age, condition, service intervals, and completed work orders travel with the asset. Items due or overdue for attention are highlighted directly on the map.
Field registration by QR
The mobile PWA scans a QR or barcode on the physical unit, captures GPS position and photos, and creates or updates the asset record on the spot.
Offline-first field work
Crews on sites with no signal keep working. Registrations, inspections, and photos queue locally in the mobile app and sync when the connection returns.
BIM and CAD import
Import Revit, Autodesk, IFC, or glTF models to populate the asset ledger from existing design data instead of building the register from scratch.
Live status from telemetry
Where an asset has sensors, its current readings are part of its record — so condition is observed rather than inferred from the last manual inspection date.

- Access
- Role-based permissions scoped by organisation
Frequently asked questions
What is spatial asset management?
Spatial asset management ties every asset record to its true position in a 3D model of the site. Instead of looking up a pump by ID in a spreadsheet, you click it in the twin and get its history, documentation, and live readings — with the surrounding context visible.
How do assets get into the system?
Three ways: bulk import of an existing register, automatic population from imported BIM or CAD models, and field registration where a crew member scans a QR code on the hardware and the mobile app captures position and photos on the spot.
Does it work on sites without connectivity?
Yes. The mobile app is offline-first, storing registrations, inspections, and photos locally when there is no signal and syncing automatically once the device reconnects. Field work is never blocked by coverage.
Can it replace our existing CMMS?
It covers the asset register, condition tracking, and maintenance history in spatial context, and exposes REST APIs so it can either replace a CMMS or feed one you already run. Which route makes sense depends on how embedded your current system is.
How does it connect to live sensor data?
Assets with sensors are bound to their telemetry streams, so current readings form part of the asset record. Condition becomes something observed continuously rather than inferred from the date of the last manual inspection.
