Reimagining the tenant–landlord relationship

In recent years, the industrial real estate sector has experienced significant growth and change, fueled by technological advancements and an evolving marketplace. Inospace's Inocircle client platform is at the forefront of these developments, offering a comprehensive solution tailored to the needs of industrial real estate clients.

In this article, we explore how Inocircle delivers a space-as-a-service solution, fosters a thriving marketplace, and curates exclusive deals with relevant companies, all while emphasising the importance of community for SMEs in the industrial real estate sector.

How It Started

As the commercial footprint of Inospace grew, an opportunity presented itself. This opportunity was to better meet the needs of our client base, by leveraging Inospace’s growing SME network to secure products and services at competitive rates.

Inospace identified pain points experienced in the community of tenants in over 50 parks in Cape Town and Johannesburg. These pain points include transport and logistics services, warehouse racking, short-term insurance, labour advisory services, and marketing. It was with this understanding, that the development of a functional Inocircle proprietary technology platform began.

The Idea Behind The Platform

The Inocircle online platform is a technological solution that aims to resolve business pain points and add material value to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This is a project that Inospace has been consistently working on for the better part of 2 years. Using the foundation of our serviced logistics parks, the Inocircle online platform seeks to deliver solutions to some of the most critical challenges facing SME owners.

Space-as-a-Service Solution

Inospace's Inocircle platform revolutionises the industrial real estate sector by providing a space-as-a-service solution that caters to a variety of client needs. This is an example of how Inospace is reimaging the tenant–landlord relationship by offering helpful business tools. Inocircle’s value add goes beyond cost savings and efficiencies – it is about creating a streamlined customer journey.

Inocircle offers a wide range of services that cater to the unique requirements of industrial clients. The platform empowers clients to join a community of over 1500 businesses, enables them to efficiently conduct business with Inospace, and makes use of a range of value-added products and services.

Marketplace for Clients

One of the standout features of Inospace's Inocircle client platform is its marketplace component, which facilitates connections between industrial real estate clients, suppliers, and service providers. This powerful tool allows clients to advertise their services, discover potential partners, and engage in industry-specific dialogue. By providing a centralised platform for communication and collaboration, Inocircle enables clients to expand their networks and capitalise on new business opportunities.

Inospace's Inocircle platform recognises the importance of community for SMEs in the industrial real estate sector. By fostering a sense of connection and shared growth, the platform encourages collaboration and mutual support among its clients. This community-driven approach is invaluable for SMEs looking to thrive in a competitive market.

Community Networking

Another helpful feature is the ability to create a business profile on the platform. With this, Inocircle members can manage their accounts with real-time access to a business directory. In essence, clients can market their business within the Inospace community. This feature fosters a sense of community by being a space to network with other like-minded SME owners.

By connecting with other SME owners within the Inospace community, Inocircle members can gain access to knowledge and advice, and valuable resources. Clients can find beneficial partnerships and collaborate with other business owners on projects, and even pool resources, to save costs.

Exclusive Deals with Relevant Companies

Inospace's Inocircle platform goes beyond providing a space-as-a-service solution and a marketplace by offering exclusive deals curated in partnership with relevant companies. These deals cover various aspects of industrial real estate operations, including business insurance, industrial equipment, education and training courses, and a comprehensive HR starter pack with downloadable templates.
