Problem (SME pain point)
Many SMEs lose productivity due to unplanned device failures, slow systems, and security issues. Existing tools can be expensive or complex, leaving SMEs dependent on reactive “break-fix”.
- Downtime and lost revenue from unexpected failures
- No simple visibility into asset health or lifecycle
- Maintenance happens too late, after disruption
Solution (BPK platform)
BPK Smart Asset Platform makes preventative maintenance practical for SMEs: it converts measurable signals into health scores, triggers alerts, and automates maintenance workflows.
- Asset inventory + lifecycle view
- Health scoring engine (rules first, ML roadmap)
- Preventative schedules + outcomes tracking
R&D Roadmap
Phase 1 — MVP (Pilot-ready)
Inventory + health scoring (rule-based) + dashboards + basic alerting + preventative schedules.
Phase 2 — Data feedback loop
Track outcomes (e.g., failure types, recurrence) to refine scoring, prioritisation, and maintenance templates.
Phase 3 — Predictive analytics
Introduce anomaly detection and failure probability where data supports it; expand reporting for ROI and risk reduction.
Phase 4 — Partner & API ecosystem
Enable integrations and partner onboarding workflows to scale across the UK and beyond.
IP Plan (practical & credible)
The IP strategy is structured for a founder-led startup and focuses on protectable value:
- Method IP: unique scoring + prioritisation logic and workflow templates for SMEs
- Trade secrets: dataset-driven tuning, alert thresholds, and maintenance playbooks
- Brand: “BPK Smart Asset Platform” brand identity
- Documentation: versioned product specs and evidence of originality (R&D logs)
- Future option: assess patentability only after validated technical novelty
This keeps the plan realistic: strong defensibility without overclaiming.
