CTP and Singu partner to standardise facility management

Business Forum
Industrial developer CTP has announced a new partnership with Singu, the operator of a cloud-based Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) platform. 

This collaboration aims to transform and standardise facility management across CTP's portfolio of 13.5 million sqm of gross leasable area in 10 countries.

The new system will provide real-time, portfolio-wide visibility, consistency, and transparency, addressing the challenge of fragmented processes and ensuring operational efficiency and tenant satisfaction.

“At CTP, our tenants are at the heart of everything we do. To continue meeting their evolving needs, we required a solution that could not only scale with us but also create one standard across our operations,” said a CTP representative.

Paweł Malon, Group CEO at Singu, added: ”This partnership is a milestone not just in terms of scale, but in demonstrating how real estate leaders can future-proof operations through technology and standardisation.”

The phased rollout, which is already underway, will see the platform implemented across all CTP countries by June 2026, with initial deployments in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria.
