Company profile
researched Sep 2026UTwin S.r.l. is an Italian proptech company headquartered in Turin that develops an all-in-one digital twin platform for facility and energy management. The software supports both BIM models and CAD floor plans and connects documents, maintenance processes, building management systems (BMS) and IoT devices, creating a centralized environment for building operations data. Functional modules cover document management, maintenance and work-order management, ticketing, asset management, space re-layout and energy management, with a proprietary AI algorithm used to monitor and reduce energy consumption.
The company follows a combined product-and-service approach with a modular, customizable architecture that can begin with a virtual 3D tour, from which the digital twin of the facility is generated, and continues with SaaS management of building information, asset, facility, energy and maintenance activities. The platform is positioned as plug-and-play with more than 30 integrations to sensors, cameras, BMS and CMMS systems, an open API for connecting to ERP, IoT and other enterprise software, no setup costs and a rapid onboarding process. UTwin previously operated under the name Strategic BIM and re-branded ahead of its February 2023 funding announcement.
Founding story
The company was founded in Turin in January 2020 with the proposition of empowering building data through digital twins, initially operating under the name Strategic BIM.
Business model
UTwin licenses its proprietary digital twin platform as software-as-a-service to building owners and operators, with a modular structure allowing customers to activate individual modules (document, maintenance, energy management, ticketing, API). The company states there are no setup costs and publishes a pricing page. It also operates a partner program with Business Partner and Solution Partner tracks aimed at extending distribution of the digital twin offering.
Subscription-based SaaS licensing of the UTwin platform and its modules, complemented by services such as 3D virtual tours and digital twin creation for buildings.

As of February 2023 the company said it had digitalized more than 1 million square metres of buildings.
Latest developments
In February 2025 UTwin announced an integration with Truescreen for legal certification of data, and in April 2025 an integration with TimelapseLab cameras for digital construction-site monitoring. In December 2024 it received an ANGI award in Rome supported by Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
Positioned as a proptech vendor combining digital twin, CMMS/EAM, ticketing and energy management functions in a single platform, competing with separate point solutions for CMMS, BMS and BIM document management that the company aims to consolidate. It has been recognised by ANGI among Italian innovations and won the Edison NEXT prize at TIM's Smart City Challenge.
The company emphasizes consolidation of CMMS, BMS, documents and CAD/BIM files into a single digital twin environment, native interoperability with over 30 third-party systems, absence of setup costs and quick activation, modularity and customization, and AI-based energy monitoring and optimization.
Technology
The platform builds a digital twin of a building from BIM models or CAD drawings and, in some deployments, from a virtual 3D tour. It aggregates documents, maintenance records, work orders, tickets and asset data in one environment and connects to BMS, IoT sensors, cameras and CMMS systems through more than 30 integrations and a documented API enabling real-time data exchange with ERP and other enterprise platforms. A proprietary AI algorithm supports energy consumption monitoring and reduction.
Go-to-market
Direct sales supported by demo requests on the company website, plus a partner program for business and solution partners intended to extend the digital twin offering internationally. Visibility has been built through accelerators and corporate innovation programs (Techstars Torino Cities of the Future, Vodafone Innovaction, Global Startup Program), industry events such as CES and Italian Tech Week, and published customer case studies.
Building and asset owners; facility managers and maintenance providers (property management, facility management, cleaning, hard services, global services); real estate developers; and professional studios and consultants including BIM consultants, system integrators, design studios and engineering firms. Addressed building types include corporate offices and headquarters, shopping centres, outlets and retail, hospitals and care facilities, public administration buildings, schools, museums and historical buildings, industrial plants and warehouses, hotels and convention centres, logistics and transport hubs, data centres and energy facilities, sports venues and residential complexes.
Geography
Legal and operating base in Turin, Italy (legal address Via Davide Bertolotti 7; operating address OGR Tech, Corso Castelfidardo 22).
