Future Developments
Discover our exciting roadmap of upcoming innovations and expansions to our optimisation services.
Web-based Front End
We're developing a comprehensive web-based rather than powerBI platform that will further enhance how education providers interact with 1stplanner's data and planning tools. This new and improved intuitive interface will provide enhanced:
- Real-time data visualisation and analysis
- Interactive planning tools
- Collaborative workspace for stakeholders
- Customisable dashboards and reports

Digital Twinning
Our digital twinning technology will create virtual replicas of educational estates, allowing for unprecedented levels of planning, simulation and optimisation. This cutting-edge approach will enable:
- 3D massing of school estates
- Scenario planning and simulation
- Detailed 7D digital twins
- Real-time monitoring of space utilisation
- Predictive maintenance and asset management
Expanding to Other Sectors
We're applying our expertise in space optimisation and resource planning to new sectors, bringing our proven methodologies to address similar challenges in different contexts.
Optimising facilities and resources for children's social care services, improving outcomes while maximising efficiency.
