Planon, a Netherlands-based facilities management software provider majority-owned by France-based Schneider Electric, has announced its SAP Real Estate and Facilities Management software is now available as an SAP Solution Extension, as reported by EIN Presswire.

Following two years of success as an SAP Endorsed App, SAP has expanded the partnership and chosen Planon to provide a solution extension for real estate and facilities management. Planon's solution has undergone a premium qualification process exclusive to SAP Solution Extensions and is supported with available SAP support services.

The solution connects real estate, facilities and workplace processes with SAP systems, helping organisations improve cost control, compliance, space utilisation and sustainability performance.

Peter Ankerstjerne, chief executive officer at Planon, said real estate and facilities are no longer peripheral functions as they shape cost resilience, employee experience and environmental, social and governance progress. He added that this SAP Solution Extension brings Planon's domain expertise into the SAP commercial and support framework, helping enable organisations to modernise how they plan and operate buildings.

Darryl Gray, global senior vice president for ISV success management at SAP, said over the past two years, customers have demonstrated strong adoption and results with Planon's SAP Endorsed App for Real Estate and Facilities Management. He added that an SAP Solution Extension is a clear step forward in collaboration and reflects SAP's confidence in Planon's value for Cloud ERP customers.

As an SAP Solution Extension, the platform extends SAP Business Suite solutions with advanced real estate and facilities management capabilities, including integrated real estate lifecycle management, facility and workplace management, sustainability and energy insights, and standard SAP integration content.
