Delivering Strategic Solutions for Smarter, More Sustainable Transport and Freight Systems bpma works with transport operators and freight companies to deliver digital transformation, planning and modelling, data analysis and benchmarking. Helping to Build Smarter Cities with Innovative, Connected and Sustainable Solutions. bpma is integrating advanced technologies, big data and AI with infrastructure, transport and freight systems to find solutions that will deliver smarter mobility, efficient infrastructure, and resilient urban development.

Capital & Asset Intensive Industry

At bpma, we specialise in supporting public and private sector organisations operating in capital- and asset-intensive industries such as transport, infrastructure, and utilities. These industries are foundational to economic growth and social well-being, but their success hinges on two fundamental principles:

1. The ongoing optimal performance of existing assets:

Ensuring current assets are maintained, utilised efficiently, and deliver maximum value throughout their lifecycle.

2. The timely and cost-efficient delivery of new assets:

Developing new infrastructure and facilities to meet demand that stay within budget and align with strategic goals.

Strategic Decision-Making

The performance of these industries is intrinsically tied to strategic decision-making. Organisations must balance current performance with future investment needs, which often requires answering critical questions such as:

  • How does the performance of existing assets, including demand trends, influence decisions about operations, maintenance, and technology upgrades?

    Organisations must assess whether existing systems are meeting current and future demands. Decisions around maintenance schedules, operational improvements, and technology adoption are crucial to extending asset life and maintaining efficiency.

  • When and how should finite resources be allocated to new assets versus improving existing ones?

    Investment prioritisation is key. Whether allocating funds for maintenance or committing capital to new projects, organisations must align these choices with broader objectives to achieve the best outcomes.

  • What role does emerging technology play in driving productivity and sustainability?

    Leveraging advancements such as IoT, data analytics, and smart systems enables organisations to optimise performance while addressing environmental and social responsibilities.

The Evolution and the Rise of Future Cities

Historically, transport, infrastructure, and utilities have been perceived as “traditional” industries operating within silos. However, the rapid development of digital technology and data analysis tools over the past decade has disrupted these industries and given rise to the emerging sector of Future Cities, which includes Smart Mobility.

This new sector offers both significant challenges and transformational opportunities:

Disruption Across Traditional Industries

Smart technologies and urban planning innovations reshape how cities function. Integration of intelligent systems is challenging long-held industry norms, requiring organisations to rethink strategies, processes, and investments.

Opportunities for Growth and Innovation

Future Cities is at the forefront of modern infrastructure, combining sustainable urban development with technological innovation. From smart transportation networks to energy-efficient utilities, this sector provides a pathway for organisations to remain competitive while contributing to societal advancements.
