Glider expands with Sitedesk’s 3D visualisation

Sitedesk's technology enables organisations to digitally mimic their real-world environment to help them capture, visualise and manage assets and surrounding information – whether for a unit, single building or across a large estate.The technology integrates 3D models, reality capture and BIM data, enabling “simplified asset management and effective digital twin solutions for legacy buildings”, according to Glider.

Sitedesk will be integrated into Glider’s intelligent information management platform, providing a “comprehensive suite of solutions for asset management, maintenance optimisation and improved building performance”.

Glider CEO Nick Hutchinson said: “This acquisition allows us to strengthen our position in the market and address the evolving needs of our clients. By integrating Sitedesk’s capabilities, we’re enhancing the Glider platform to offer a broader visualisation capability that strengthens asset management and operational efficiency. Our goal is to provide our clients with the tools they need to succeed in managing their built estates.”

Matt Cunliffe, CEO of Sitedesk, added: “Integrating the Sitedesk technology into the Glider platform represents an exciting opportunity for our clients. We are eager to leverage our combined expertise to deliver enhanced solutions that improve efficiency and provide greater value. Our focus remains on supporting our users throughout this transition.”

Last September, Glider acquired digital O&M specialist EDocuments.
