This platform leverages Hardcat’s 38 years of experience delivering asset management solutions to our customers globally and Forward Thinking Design’s 21 years of experience in taking a circular economy approach to managing built environments through-out their entire lifecycle. We bring together our asset management (track/trace) and built environment domain expertise by capturing this know-how into a complete, templated solution for rapid and cost-effective digital deployment.

​

FTD Circular, powered by Hardcat, is based upon Hardcat’s Australian owned and developed Enterprise class software. Hardcat’s software is in operational use with customers around the globe and has proven to be a highly resilient solution delivering critical asset management business outcomes, where certainty matters. 

 

FTD Circular, powered by Hardcat delivers to an organisation’s asset management needs including track/trace, ownership assignment, and both planned and reactive maintenance of assets ensuring the extension of life and best return upon the investment made into assets. With circularity in focus, FTD Circular, powered by Hardcat has been built to inherently support the data and system transactions necessary to enable client organisations to effectively participate in the circular economy as well as providing the associated key ESG insights to address certification and compliance requirements.
