Digital twin solutions for built environment
About Willow
Willow creates digital twins for buildings and infrastructure, which are digital versions of physical assets that include real-time data to monitor and enhance their performance. Their platform allows clients to access and manage all relevant data throughout the lifecycle of a project, making it easier to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Willow primarily serves clients in the real estate and infrastructure sectors, partnering with companies like Multiplex and thyssenkrupp Elevator, and collaborates with Microsoft to enhance its offerings. Unlike competitors, Willow focuses on providing a centralized platform that acts as a single source of truth for asset management. The company's goal is to transform how physical assets are managed and optimized, enabling better interaction with the built environment.
