OBH Rådgivende Ingeniører actively uses Upsite today in their work with digital maintenance plans, both to save time and to deliver a better experience to their customers

A vibrant platform with room for input 

It was especially Upsite's continuous development and ability to quickly respond to user feedback that convinced OBH Rådgivende Ingeniører to adopt the platform. 

Building and indoor climate consultant Jakob Guldbjerg was the first at OBH to spot Upsite during the launch phase. 

OBH actively began using the system as early as the beginning of 2024.

We could feel that there was a really positive development. Many updates and responses to our wishes came very quickly. The fact that our input was listened to was very positive,

says Jakob Guldbjerg. 

With Stig Nylandsted Larsen as the commercial figurehead and Jakob Guldbjerg as the reliable initiator, OBH has been an engaged user, contributing relevant input and helping to raise awareness of Upsite among its own customers. 

The close dialogue and prompt support from Upsite were crucial in building trust and creating a sense of co-ownership in the platform's further development. 

Digitalisation with value for customers

For OBH, the digitalisation of maintenance plans was not just an internal improvement project. It was a way to create added value for their customers. 

It gives the entire solution and partnership a completely different dynamic. Instead of a static report, we can bring it to life. This gives the entire solution a different power,

explains Stig Nylandsted Larsen.

OBH has taken on the role of ambassadors for Upsite, and several of their customers have since become shared clients, now benefiting from both advisory services, planning, and a digital maintenance tool. 

It is entirely in our interest that the property owner also becomes a customer of Upsite. Otherwise, we just become report suppliers,

says Stig Nylandsted Larsen. 

Standardised processes and long-term value 

At an organisational level, OBH sees major advantages in streamlining the production of maintenance plans. 

With Upsite, they can standardise their presentation and procedures, regardless of who in the organisation performs the work. At the same time, they save time by building on existing data rather than starting from scratch every time they draft a new maintenance plan. 

That was one of the main reasons for the choice: that data becomes alive and something you can actively work with,

says Stig Nylandsted Larsen. 

We often discuss building strategy, consultancy, and decision-making bases with our clients. Data related to operation and maintenance is strategically important, and Upsite creates this overview for both us and the client,

Jakob Guldbjerg adds, highlighting the design and features of the platform:

The design is graphically appealing with elements like pie charts and bar graphs. It looks great and provides a better overview than what we had before.

Energy and maintenance in a single solution 

OBH also sees great value in Upsite's energy performance certificate integration feature, which provides their clients with a comprehensive overview of both building maintenance and energy savings.

It just makes it more visible to run it all in one report instead of maintaining a two-part split,

says Stig Nylandsted Larsen. 

OBH is among the largest players in energy labelling, so it makes perfect sense to combine energy data and maintenance into a single, unified solution.

Jakob Guldbjerg points out that additional value is created because Upsite makes it possible to correct erroneous energy certificate data and integrate reliable information directly into maintenance plans:

We are actually just impressed that this is even possible.

Closer to the customer and optimism for future collaboration 

For OBH, Upsite has become more than a tool. It is a key to getting closer to customers and delivering more value: 

I feel we are closer to the customer if they also choose Upsite's solution,

says Stig Nylandsted Larsen. 

Jakob Guldbjerg concludes by putting words to OBH's journey with Upsite: 

I have been involved almost from the start and got a really positive impression. Indeed, I was quite sure from the beginning that this was the path we should take. I am certainly full of optimism on the road ahead.
