BusinessCloud: Revealing UK’s PropTech 50 for 2022

BusinessCloud can reveal its PropTech 50 innovation ranking for 2022.

Readers of the online technology publication and an independent judging panel have together decided the 50 companies blazing a technology trail in the property sector.

The PropTech 50, brought to you in association with OBI – provider of inspiring workspaces to make businesses more successful – celebrates businesses of all sizes creating original tech for real estate, construction, the built environment and building management.

Modulous, an AI platform for design of sustainable homes, tops the ranking.

Coadjute makes the top four in BusinessCloud’s top 50 proptechs

Fellow London companies Plentific, Coadjute and essensys make the top four ahead of Luton-based Moovshack, an app for managing the property journey from search to moving in – both for home movers and agents.

Adaptive management reporting software fu3e (London) is seventh. The platform is described as the umbrella above existing management software and is used by real estate funds, asset owners, developers and professional consultants.

Altuity Solutions, which creates facilities management and underground asset management software to help create safe and well-maintained buildings and construction sites, crashes into the top 10. The Bristol firm is in eighth spot.

PropertyCard, described as the world’s property super app, is ninth. The London firm’s PropertyCards for homeowners and tenants allow them to manage property payments around sales, rent, utilities, inventory and documents in one place.

Infogrid and Aprao, also based in the capital, also make the top 10.

“The property sector is beginning to embrace technology. The UK is at the forefront of innovation in how we build, sell and manage property,” said OBI founding director Will Lewis.

“From established businesses to game-changing startups, I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for these PropTech 50 companies.”
