From maintenance to intelligence

We go beyond routine upkeep and calendar-based maintenance to deliver risk-based and data-driven solutions. This includes predictive insights that prevent issues before they happen, risk-based asset management for optimised performance, and data-driven engineering decisions that maximise reliability.

We don’t just maintain assets—we understand them.

From buildings to portfolios

Managing a single site is no longer enough. We give clients the power to plan for the long term through lifecycle planning using the Facility Condition Index (FCI), Asset Risk Score (ARS), and capital forecasting.

Our portfolio-level dashboards provide real-time visibility and performance at a glance, while strategy-led investment paths shape future outcomes for greater capital efficiency.

We help clients look 10 years ahead—not just 10 months.

From local variability to global consistency

One global way of working, everywhere. We deliver global standards for quality and reliability, supported by Critical Environment Management governance to ensure compliance, uptime, and availability. Our unified asset classification and standards enable seamless, connected operations across all sites.

Consistency across every site, every region, every time.

Strategic asset management that brings your portfolio to life

Our on-site engineering teams deliver more than maintenance, they provide a comprehensive, data-driven asset management approach that ensures efficiency, reliability, and sustainability across your entire portfolio. By managing assets throughout their lifecycle, we optimise performance, enhance user experience, and reduce total cost of ownership. From day-to-day operations to specialised solutions, our strategies are tailored to your unique needs and backed by global standards and deep industry expertise. The result: welcoming, compliant, and future-ready environments that deliver long-term value and minimise risk.

A structured, global framework

The Asset Management Life Cycle Wheel and robust asset classification give us a common language and method across countries and clients. This is rare in Facilities Management, many providers have fragments, but ISS has a repeatable, scalable model that blends standards with local execution. 

Outcome: Clients see consistency and transparency across sites, regions, and contracts.

Proactive asset care

A structured framework that prevents degradation before it starts, shifting your operating model from reactive to strategic. What we deliver: Asset registers & classification, risk-based maintenance planning, capital investment forecasting, portfolio scenario modelling.

 Outcome: Fewer disruptions, optimised OPEX/CAPEX, improved reliability, and long-term asset value.

Technical operations

End-to-end maintenance and compliance delivered by skilled ISS engineers. What we deliver: Statutory compliance management, planned, reactive, and predictive maintenance, remote monitoring & controls.

Outcome: Safe, compliant, and efficient buildings with fewer failures and higher uptime.

Integration of lifecycle with daily operations

We don’t treat lifecycle as something separate from maintenance, every inspection, service, and condition report feeds into the long-term capital view. Engineers are trained to look beyond the immediate task, contributing observations that feed asset strategies. 

Outcome: Clients get decisions based on evidence, not just intuition, better-timed replacements, reduced lifecycle cost, and avoidance of unnecessary spend. 

Critical environment management

Protecting facilities that cannot fail. What we deliver: Critical governance framework and assurance, redundancy testing and resilience audits, incident escalation and change control.

Outcome: Assured performance for high-risk environments.

Capital Projects delivery

From lifecycle replacements to major upgrades, delivered safely and predictably. What we deliver: MEP projects and refurbishments, automation and controls upgrades, energy efficiency programmes.

Outcome: Reduced risk, improved efficiency, and future-ready workplaces.

Digital solutions that power performance

Technology is at the heart of ISS Technical Services. Our digital ecosystem brings together predictive maintenance platforms, digital twins and building analytics, remote monitoring with BMS integration, intuitive digital dashboards, and automated capital planning combined with risk modelling.

Result: Transparent, real-time intelligence across your asset base.

Alignment with sustainability & decarbonisation

Lifecycle management goes beyond cost—it’s about carbon, energy, and environmental impact. Practical, data-driven strategies help reduce emissions by extending asset life, optimizing replacement cycles, and recommending sustainable alternatives. ISS connects asset management directly to client ESG goals.

Outcome: Measurable reductions in emissions and embodied carbon, supported by lifecycle data.

FACILITY AND ASSET CONDITION ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive evaluations for informed decision-making.

Know Your Assets.

Understanding the true state of your facilities and assets is the starting point for effective lifecycle planning and investment decisions. We combine visual, non-intrusive inspections with advanced analytics to uncover hidden risks and performance gaps. These insights feed directly into maintenance strategies, capital planning, and sustainability goals.

STRATEGIC PORTFOLIO ASSET MANAGEMENT
Data-driven decisions for global portfolios.

Maximise value across the lifecycle. Our portfolio-level asset management solution integrates Total Value of Ownership (TVO) principles with advanced analytics to balance cost, risk, and sustainability. Using tools like Facility Condition Index (FCI), Asset Risk Score (ARS), and capital forecasting, we deliver governance, predictive insights, and long-term optimisation for global portfolios.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLANNING
Transparent CapEx strategies powered by real-time asset data.

Plan smarter. Invest better. Our Capital Investment Planning process leverages real-time asset data to prioritise replacements and forecast future needs. With interactive dashboards and multi-year optimisation models, we provide transparency and control over your CapEx strategy, helping you avoid downtime, ensure compliance, and maximise returns.

RISK BASED MAINTENANCE
Predictive, data-driven maintenance that prevents failures and optimises reliability.

From reactive to proactive. Our risk-based maintenance approach goes beyond calendar based schedules to deliver predictive, data-driven solutions. By focusing on asset criticality and real-time condition insights, we prevent issues before they occur, minimise downtime, and optimise reliability. This targeted methodology maximises performance and extends asset life.

CRITICAL ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT
Resilience and compliance for high-risk environments.

Zero tolerance for downtime. In high-reliability, high-risk environments such as data centres,  trading floors, and laboratories resilience is essential. Our Critical Environment Management framework combines rigorous governance, advanced training, and proactive risk controls to eliminate outages and mitigate human error, the leading cause of failures. We ensure compliance and continuity at every level.
