Technology still has the power to add efficiency and improve the 'right first time' delivery of property management services. I am always on the look out for interesting new innovation and the latest find is an app called What3Words.
Essentially this simple idea splits the world into trillions of three metre squares that are allocated a unique, random three word description. In any language.
Suddenly accurate postal delivery services are available worldwide, accurate locations for people, assets and basically anything is easily possible. It has massive implications for countries that don't have effective addressing systems and is already making an impact in paces like Brazil and Mongolia.
More locally I think it could have great implications for property management. Imaging being able to ensure that the engineer goes straight to the right piece of engineering, via the correct entrance in your massive and complex building.
Imagine as well being able to find you car easily, find your friends at a concert, send a distress signal from the middle of the ocean and so on. For property asset managers I think this app could prove invaluable.
