Over 80% of digital transformation initiatives fail (ScienceDirect, 2024).
That’s not a typo. It’s the reality for businesses that throw technology at problems without smart design.
Here’s a sobering stat: up to 80% of companies’ IT budgets is spent keeping old systems afloat (Forbes Tech Council, 2024).
That’s money burned on inefficiency. We’ve seen it across the industry. A popular hotel chain in the UK discovered that many rooms were running heating, cooling, and lighting even when unoccupied. That’s not sustainability. That’s waste.
By redesigning their building management systems and adding occupancy controls, they cut energy use by more than half while keeping guests comfortable. Proof that smart design pays off.
Hospitality is one of the most energy-hungry sectors. In England and Wales, just 7% of the largest non-domestic buildings account for 61% of electricity use and 71% of gas (Non-Domestic NEED, 2024).
That means a handful of hotels and resorts drive most of the sector’s emissions. Fix the design there, and you fix the footprint.
Conqora Smart Energy helps. With up to 40% savings per site, our platform cuts consumption without cutting guest comfort. That’s smart design in action.
Every business is different. Off-the-shelf solutions ignore that reality, forcing companies to fit around systems that were never designed for them.
At KCP, we design systems around clients, not the other way around. From multi-site access control for global offices to modular Conqora deployments across hotel portfolios, our work scales with business growth.
Think of it like tailoring. You don’t buy a suit three sizes too big and hope it fits later.
Automation isn’t about replacing people. It’s about reducing burnout. Research shows that automating routine tasks is one of the most effective ways to lower workplace stress (Harvard Business Review, 2023).
But bad tech has the opposite effect. A UK survey found that 20% of Gen Z employees have already quit their jobs because of outdated or useless workplace tools (TechInformed, 2022).
Another 49% are considering it.
The top complaints? Slow, clunky, and old systems. And here’s the kicker: two-thirds of young employees say they have better tech at home than at work.
Conqora does the opposite. Fast, intuitive, and user-friendly, it empowers staff to focus on value-added work instead of battling bad systems.
Next time you check into a hotel room with six light switches and none control the lamp, remember this: that is bad design in action.
Confusing, wasteful, and unforgettable.
Now imagine the same chaos inside your core business systems. Would you risk it?
Smart design is the difference between a transformation that fails and a transformation that delivers. It is the key to efficiency, sustainability, and growth.
At KCP, we combine data, design, and a dash of cheek to make technology work for people and the planet.
