Smplrspace

Smplrspace, founded in Singapore in 2019 by Wanlyn Tiberghien and Thibaut Tiberghien, operates as a platform for creating lean digital twins and interactive 2D and 3D floor plans. The company's primary offering is a developer-focused solution that enables the quick and affordable digitization of floor plan images, which can then be embedded into other applications. This is achieved through an API-first approach, allowing engineering teams to integrate the visualisations and layer custom data elements within hours.

The business targets software providers and application builders in the property technology (PropTech) and building operations sectors. Clients include those who develop solutions for commercial and multifamily buildings, public spaces, and connected workspaces. The core problem Smplrspace addresses is the high cost and complexity typically associated with creating digital representations of physical spaces, making such technology accessible beyond large corporations. By providing an image-based digitization service, the need for onsite visits or specialized scanning equipment is eliminated, facilitating scalable deployment. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model with a flat fee per active floor plan, billed annually. The company also offers optional services such as floor plan sketching and data mapping, where they assign unique IDs to assets, rooms, and spaces from a client's CSV file.

The platform's key features include the ability to switch between 2D and 3D views, add custom data for visualization, and utilize an ecosystem of tools like a floor plan editor. This allows building operators to consolidate disparate data from various systems (e.g., IoT sensors, maintenance logs, financial reports) into a single, unified visual interface. This visual context helps teams make quicker, more informed decisions, aiming to enhance operational efficiency, building performance, and sustainability. In May 2022, Smplrspace announced a pre-seed funding round of $600,000 from investors including an AngelCentral syndicate.
