Summary
This case study outlines the challenges faced by a client operating within the S&P 500, managing over 30 buildings across five continents. The primary issue involved building data being trapped in silos across eight different vendor systems, including occupancy sensors and a space booking platform, leading to a lack of a unified view of real estate usage. Decisions regarding real estate, workplace experience, and energy were based on assumptions rather than accurate data. The solution implemented was a single building intelligence platform that unified all eight vendor systems, providing real-time and historical insights. This integration reduced data consolidation time from 14 days to under 2 hours and enabled the client to develop predictive occupancy models, resulting in energy savings of 10-15%. The unified data now informs decisions on space and lease strategy, enhancing workplace experience by utilizing actual occupancy and environmental data.
