About UMA.

Architects of efficient, intelligent workplaces. UK based, deployed globally. Built by the people who run the buildings, used by the teams that make them work.

01 · The story

From a missing meeting room to a workplace operating platform.

Founded in 2017. Born out of a real frustration with how buildings were being managed, and how little of that data ever reached the people who needed it.

The journey of UMA began in 2017, sparked by a common frustration in the corporate world. Our founder, Stephen Milner, visited a client with an extensive real-estate portfolio and ran into the universal challenge of locating an available meeting room. That simple, pervasive inefficiency was the spark.

UMA was officially established the same year. Working closely with that initial client and a growing network of partners, Stephen assembled a team to build the first platform, a voice-activated assistant for workplace management. It has since evolved into our flagship product, UMA Vision: a comprehensive operating layer that helps organisations intelligently use their spaces, manage complex integrations, and gain insight from usage and environmental data.

02 · Vision & Mission

Why we get up in the morning.

A clear north star and a clear day-to-day job. Both written down so we can be held to them.
Vision

People and buildings, working in harmony.

To create a world where intelligent spaces think, learn, and adapt, making life better, work smarter, and the planet more sustainable.

Buildings that anticipate needs, respond to environmental changes, and create experiences that enhance human wellbeing while protecting our planet. Every space becomes an intelligent partner in productivity, comfort, and sustainability.

Mission

Make every building smarter, every decision clearer.

UMA connects data, systems, and people, turning complexity into clarity and insight into action.

We exist to bridge the gap between technological potential and practical implementation, delivering solutions that are powerful yet intuitive, comprehensive yet simple to deploy.

04 · Customer manifesto

How we work, with customers.

Three principles we hold ourselves to. They show up in every release, every conversation, every renewal.
