Why digital connectivity is now a core asset for commercial properties
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the digital infrastructure of a building is no longer a luxury but a fundamental necessity.
The recent certification of the Fontenay-Trésigny industrial and logistics site with WiredScore highlights a growing trend: robust digital connectivity is paramount for modern operations, especially with the surge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation across supply chains.
WiredScore: expanding its reach to logistics
Traditionally associated with office buildings and residential properties, WiredScore, a global rating system that assesses and certifies the digital connectivity and smart technology of commercial buildings, has officially launched its certification for logistics facilities. This expansion underscores the critical role digital readiness plays in warehousing and distribution, mirroring its importance in office environments.
Future-proofing your operations with advanced connectivity
A recent study by WiredScore reveals that a staggering 66% of occupants plan to integrate new technologies within the next five years. This includes sophisticated systems like advanced sensors, big data analytics, and multi-network connectivity – all of which demand an exceptionally reliable and high-performing digital infrastructure. Buildings with WiredScore certification are designed to meet these demands, offering businesses the peace of mind that their chosen space can support their technological evolution.
Leading the way: Fontenay-Trésigny and the European trend
The Fontenay-Trésigny site is one of the first in Europe to achieve this prestigious WiredScore logistics certification. This pioneering move by LaSalle Investment Management is part of a broader industry shift, with 18 other major real estate developers, including industry giants like Hines and Prologis, also embracing this labeling. This collective adoption signals a clear industry consensus: warehouses and logistics centers must meet stringent digital requirements to optimize performance and operational efficiency.
The business imperative: efficiency and performance
For businesses scouting for new commercial spaces, the message is clear. In France, for example, 80% of logistics sector occupants consider high-performing digital infrastructure to be indispensable, primarily driven by the need for operational efficiency. Choosing a WiredScore certified property means investing in a space that is not just a physical location, but a robust platform ready to power your digital transformation, enhance productivity, and secure a competitive edge in the market.
