Hello and welcome to the August issue of Tomorrow’s FM.
Since OpenAI released ChatGPT at the end November 2022, the proliferation of artificial intelligence-based services and products is mindboggling, even to those that have been preaching about how widespread its adoption will become. In this issue, our FM & Technology feature explores this widespread adoption across the many facets of facilities management. Ben Yexley, askporter's Head of Business Development, questions how real estate companies can ensure they maintain best practices as they increasingly integrate AI, and actually tackle the challenges at hand, whilst Matt Kuwertz, Commercial Director at Principle Cleaning Services, discusses how the company is playing its part in transforming the cleaning industry through the introduction of technology, AI and robotics.

Technology also creeps into our other features this month. In our Design & Interiors feature Tarkett talks about how to redefine modern spaces with human-conscious design, and how its virtual reality platform is helping the company achieve that aim. Tomorrow’s FM also caught up with Canvas Offices’ Yaron Rosenblum, Founder, and Property Development Manager Tsubi Choy, to establish how the company has become such a success story. As big players like WeWork are closing workspaces, Canvas is averaging a 98.4% occupancy rate in its portfolio of buildings. What do they think is the reason for this? Find out on page 42.
We also take a deep dive into Flooring, with contributions from Bona and Victor Floorcare. Meanwhile, Tork manufacturer Essity, heads up our Leisure & Retail Facilities feature.
Enjoy the read.
