Nordomatic, global leading independent BMS integrator and parent company for both Yanzi and Spica Technologies have recently stated their strategic decision to sunset Yanzi IoT products and data platform Insights by December 2025. Spica’s workplace experience platform GemEx has been appointed as the official replacement service for Insights.
Why is the Yanzi IoT product line being sunsetted?
Yanzi IoT and Insights are one portion of their offering and whilst other aspects have been assimilated into the new iBOS solution, the IoT hardware and associated IoT data platform, no longer aligns with Nordomatic’s vision of focusing on delivering innovative software-only solutions. Having worked alongside the team responsible for Yanzi as integration partners and then as sister companies we cannot forget the incredible achievements that they have made over the last 10 years. Like any business today it is imperative to adapt to our customers’ needs.

“Whilst it is always sad to see the sunsetting of a product line we have known and loved for a decade, a successful business needs to focus on making the right strategic decisions. Streamlining Nordomatic’s IoT strategy behind the GemEx IoT-agnostic platform, we believe, is a robust and correct decision for the future of our solutions.“
Paul Jones, Managing Director, Spica Technologies

How does GemEx differ from Yanzi?
Spica GemEx Platform is a fully integrated digital workplace solution, focusing on improving both workplace management and employee experience, with app and platform tools to support hybrid work, space utilisation, and environmental optimisation whilst maintaining an agnostic approach with best of breed IoT sensors fit for the use case.
Yanzi IoT Insights is more of a sensor-driven facilities management solution, specialising in environmental and occupancy data for building optimisation, but without the broader workplace experience or hybrid work features.
GemEx provides a wider set of use cases for IoT data and the ability to compare and gain insights by combining different types of IoT data. Discover our solution range for workplace management and employee experience, including the GemEx Workplace App in the GemEx brochure.
“As we transition from Yanzi, we are pleased to introduce the enhanced capabilities of Spica Technologies’ GemEx platform. This evolution allows us to offer a more comprehensive suite of workplace solutions, providing deeper insights, improved space utilisation, and a seamless employee experience, all driven by Spica’s cutting-edge technology.“
