The Challenge
A global technology and engineering company with over 30,000 employees in nearly 30 countries was facing challenges in streamlining their facilities maintenance, space management, and real estate operations, particularly in their 25 locations in France. The company was generating upwards of 2,500 facilities work orders and 400 move work orders per month, making it crucial to find a solution that could link all operations together for improved efficiency and a comprehensive overview. The company was using an outdated legacy system to manage work order tickets and track space usage, which was not maintained or updated by the IT department, making it obsolete. The system was not linked to any other databases or tools used by the company, making cross-departmental data sharing difficult or impossible. The company was also struggling with the manual effort required to keep the system updated.
