We believe Operance deserves to win the Best Digital Transformation Award for its transformative impact on building and fire safety.  

By replacing archaic paper-based Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals with a dynamic digital platform, Operance centralises and streamlines building safety data, through the use of a semi-automated information coordination.  

Operance has developed a brand new tech stack that integrates blockchain technology, immutable ledgers and to create a golden thread of information. This allows key building and fire safety information to be ever-lasting and accessible from one single source of truth. We empower users to develop comprehensive safety information, contributing to a safer and more efficient construction industry. Our commitment to innovation and safety positions it as a game-changer, shaping a brighter future for building information management. 

Most Innovative New Product (Digital)

What makes Operance a strong contender for Most Innovative New Product (Digital) is our groundbreaking impact on the construction industry and building safety.  

Leveraging blockchain and machine learning technology, our platform centralises real-time building data, eliminating fragmentation of data in various, unorganised formats.  

Meanwhile, automation enhances productivity while reducing errors and Operance’s step-by-step guidance simplifies compliance with new legislation, improving data quality.  

The Golden Thread Audit Trail feature ensures transparency and accountability, creating a comprehensive historical record. These features benefit design, construction, communication, and health and safety legislation. With our platform, we’ve reduced design errors, improved data quality, streamlined communication at each stage of the project from planning to handover.  

Our supply chain database and phase gate approach ensures that the accountable persons at each stage know the data requirements and who is responsible. 

Our co-founder and CPO Scott Pilgrim is one of three finalists in the Innovation Champion 2023 category.  

We believe he deserves to win the title for fostering a culture of innovation and driving the company’s commitment to revolutionize the construction and property industry.  

Scott maintains a start-up mentality, encouraging the team to dedicate 20% of their time to innovation. He actively contributes to industry groups and inspires his employees to do the same, fostering industry knowledge and understanding.  

For example, hosting workshops and webinars to give back to the industry, such as Your Journey to Safer Buildings.  

His visionary leadership is evident in Operance’s success in driving innovative ideas and adopting emerging technologies, with staff exceeding expectations to develop and deliver results.  

By offering shared equity and emphasising the importance of each employee’s role, he cultivates a collective commitment to Operance’s vision and hunger for further innovation.
