A planned cross-border smart city in Saudi Arabia set out to deliver world-class urban living and tourism experiences but faced fragmented operations and manual facility processes. Intertec implemented a unified digital platform powered by Hexagon EAM and integrated systems, enabling centralized city operations, digital maintenance, omnichannel engagement, and data-driven visibility across communities and vendors.

Business Problem

As the city prepared for large-scale operations across multiple communities, it faced several operational challenges:

  • No centralized platform to manage facilities and communities
  • Manual SLA tracking and maintenance scheduling
  • Delayed notifications for approvals and actions
  • Limited multi-channel access for tenants and stakeholders
  • Low visibility into FM operations and vendor performance
  • Inefficient, manual maintenance execution impacting service quality

How Intertec Helped

  • Designed and deployed a centralized smart city operations platform using Hexagon EAM to unify asset, facilities, and maintenance management across multiple communities

  • Introduced facility and housing reservation capabilities to support residents, tenants, and tourism operations
  • Implemented incident management workflows for faster response and coordinated resolution
  • Enabled Azure Active Directory–based SSO integration to strengthen security and identity governance
