Over the past year, UrbanVault has already rolled out several proprietary technology solutions, including an in-house Visitor Management System (VMS), a custom-built Customer Review and Feedback System, and multiple internal tools aimed at streamlining workspace operations and improving efficiency across locations.

With Ashish at the helm of technology, UrbanVault plans to accelerate the development of its backend infrastructure and launch multiple in-house technology products tailored specifically for the managed workspace ecosystem. The company’s technology roadmap will focus on strengthening backend systems across all centers, building data-driven decision-making tools, enabling seamless tenant experience platforms, automating operational workflows, and creating scalable product infrastructure to support its aggressive expansion plans.
