JA, BSS Industrial

Case Study

How do you take a plant room full of pipes and heating equipment and make it digital?

BSS Industrial, a leading distributor of pipeline and heating solutions in the UK, is part of the Travis Perkins Group, a FTSE 250 company known for its extensive network of builders’ merchants.
As a new venture emerging from BSS Industrial, the platform faced the challenge of establishing a distinct market presence, separating itself from its parent company. Additionally, BSS needed clear messaging to communicate the platform’s value both internally for cross-selling and externally to drive adoption. The goal was to validate market demand and build a strong sales pipeline.

Their division, BSS Intelligent Solutions had developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to manage mechanical assets in critical environments such as hospitals and schools. The MVP, while functional, needed to prove its commercial viability before a full-scale market launch.
