We’re at a defining moment in the evolution of building operations. As real estate portfolios grow in complexity and sustainability moves from a checkbox to a mandate, it’s clear that traditional systems and reactive workflows will no longer suffice.
At IQnext, our mission has always been clear — to simplify building operations and empower teams with impactful tools.
We believe the answer lies in intelligence—not just automation. And today, we’re taking our first step into that future with the beta launch of our first AI-powered feature.
From fragmentation to intelligence
One of the biggest roadblocks in building operations today is fragmentation—disparate systems, disconnected data, and isolated teams.
IQnext is built to change that.
Our platform unifies siloed data into a centralized, real-time layer of intelligence, giving every stakeholder a single version of the truth across their properties.
But that’s only half the equation.
IQnext is a collaborative tool —one where technicians, facility managers, regional heads, and C-level leaders can act, respond, and align on what matters.
The CRM of building operations
Much like how CRMs transformed sales and customer management, IQnext is reimagining how building operations are managed.
Think of it as the CRM for Buildings—a system of records, a system of engagement, and now, a system of intelligence.
Whether you’re tracking energy usage across a portfolio, responding to alarms, planning maintenance, or reviewing performance trends, IQnext becomes your co-pilot, guiding you through complex operations with clarity and confidence.
The problem isn’t lack of data—it’s the lack of clarity
Across the built environment, operational teams are either lacking data or overwhelmed with data—either way, data alone doesn't create better outcomes.
What’s missing is context, prioritization, and intelligent guidance.
This is where our vision for AI begins—not with hype, but with purpose.
AI, with purpose for building operations
At IQnext, we have been very cautious about using AI as a buzzword. For us, the use of AI has to be purpose-driven, and something that drives value for our users and customers.
Say hello to IQnext Intelligence — your AI-powered assistant designed to help you navigate building operations like a pro.
Whether you're configuring your first dashboard or optimizing energy usage across a portfolio of buildings, IQnext Intelligence is here to help you get the answers you need — instantly.
What is IQnext Intelligence?
IQnext Intelligence is built right into the IQnext platform. Think of it as your always-available expert, ready to help 24/7. Whether you're managing energy, monitoring equipment, or setting up reports, IQnext Intelligence simplifies the way you interact with your building systems.
It’s designed to understand natural language, meaning you can type in questions or commands just like you would when talking to a colleague. No more navigating menus or searching through documentation. Just ask, and it responds with accurate answers or takes action instantly.
Here’s what you can do with it:
- “Where can I find equipment runtime analytics?”
→ It points you to the exact location — no guesswork required.
- “How to create an alarm for the server room”
→ Done. IQnext Intelligence gives the answer instantly.
- “How can I schedule an energy usage report?”
→ Get step-by-step guidance or let it do the scheduling for you.
Whether you're troubleshooting, optimizing performance, or just exploring features, IQnext Intelligence makes the experience faster, easier, and smarter.
The first AI feature we’ve launched in beta is designed to:
help you use the IQnext platform efficiently. It has been trained on our ever-growing library of support articles, help guides, and platform documentation. It's designed to distill the most relevant information and deliver it to you in a conversational, easy-to-understand way.
And this is just the beginning. Over the next several months, we’ll be rolling out a series of intelligent features that will help:
- Predict asset failures before they occur
- Recommend efficiency improvements
- Translate complex data into natural language answers
- Surface only what truly matters to each stakeholder
The ultimate goal? To transform IQnext into an AI-powered co-pilot—one that works quietly in the background to make buildings smarter and teams sharper.
Rethinking operational intelligence
Facility operations today are at an inflection point. Regulatory pressures are rising. Sustainability targets are tightening. Expectations for uptime, efficiency, and reporting are higher than ever.
In this context, “more data” isn’t the answer. What’s needed is clarity, prioritization, and guidance.
This is the space IQnext is committed to owning: A platform that helps teams make better decisions, faster—by organizing data, connecting workflows, and now, layering intelligence that scales with your operations.
We’re just getting started
This is a foundational step in a much larger journey. It represents how we think, how we build, and how we partner.
We don’t believe in building silos. So as we evolve our AI roadmap, we’re inviting our customers and partners to walk with us. If you’d like to participate in the beta, provide feedback, or shape what’s next, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager or email us at [support@iqnext.io].
