Facilities management is entering a different era.
Buildings are becoming more connected. AI is moving from theory into practical use. IoT devices are capturing more operational data. PropTech platforms are changing how assets are monitored and managed. Building systems are becoming smarter, and facility teams are being asked to make better decisions with more information than ever before.
That makes FM Connect 2026 an important place for the industry to come together.
The conversations on the agenda reflect where facilities management is heading: AI, digital transformation, connected technology, asset performance, sustainability, standards and how organisations can avoid creating more silos as new technology is introduced.
But there is another side to this conversation.
Smarter buildings need smarter suppliers.
And that is the conversation Klugo wants to have at FM Connect.
We’re here to talk about what is really changing.
As a member of the Facilities Management Association, Klugo is coming to FM Connect to listen, learn and speak directly with the businesses shaping the future of the built environment
Our Senior ERP Sales Executive, Steve Paea, will be at the event on 4 August meeting with customers and businesses across facilities management, construction, technology, building services, equipment supply and field service.

The smart building is only part of the picture.
Modern facilities are becoming more connected by the year. AI, IoT, PropTech, building management systems and asset data are giving operators a clearer view of what is happening across a site, often in real time. Problems can be picked up earlier, maintenance can be planned better and decisions can be made with more confidence.
But the technology inside the building is only one part of the story. Behind every smart facility sits a large network of businesses that design it, supply it, install it, maintain it and keep it running. Electrical contractors, HVAC and mechanical services, technology providers, equipment suppliers, construction teams, field service businesses and maintenance providers all play a part.
Smarter facilities demand suppliers that can connect people, projects, finance and operations without adding complexity.
For a CEO or CFO, that pressure usually shows up in familiar places. Project margins become harder to see. Purchasing gets harder to control. Inventory sits across multiple locations. Finance and operations work from different information. Reporting takes longer and management starts relying on spreadsheets to fill the gaps.
That is where a smarter business matters just as much as a smarter building.
Connect the business behind the building.
This is where the Klugo conversation starts.
For facilities management suppliers and service businesses, the challenge is rarely one isolated system. It is how finance, operations, inventory, projects, customers and field service all work together as the business grows.
NetSuite gives those parts of the business one connected platform. Finance can see what is happening operationally. Project teams can see costs and margins more clearly. Purchasing and inventory can work from the same data. Field teams can access the information they need without creating another disconnected process in the background.
One connected platform keeps growth under control.
The idea is simple: as the facilities you support get smarter, the business behind them should be easier to run, easier to understand and better equipped to grow.
Let’s talk at FM Connect.
There is no single blueprint for what the future of facilities management will look like.
That is exactly why these conversations matter.
Steve Paea will be at FM Connect in Brisbane on Tuesday, 4 August.
Whether you already use NetSuite, are considering what comes next or simply want to compare notes on how technology is changing businesses across the facilities ecosystem, find Steve and have a chat.
Because smarter buildings are only half the equation. The suppliers behind them need to be ready too.
