挑战
Sodexo, a world leader in providing services that improve Quality of Life, needed to expand its APAC office to accommodate more than 200 employees. The new office needed to reflect the company’s progressive work culture, supporting a myriad of working styles such as hotdesking and flexible configuration with both social spaces and focus areas. However, the old office had no visibility on energy consumption levels. The challenge was for Sodexo to achieve workplace sustainability by optimizing energy savings without compromising employee comfort levels. They needed a reliable partner who could deliver a cutting-edge facilities management solution, centered around the importance of sustainability and wellbeing of its people.
关于客户
Sodexo Group is a world leader in providing services that improve Quality of Life. Since its founding in 1966, the company has grown significantly in the Asia-Pacific region, necessitating the expansion of its APAC office to accommodate both regional and local employees. One of Sodexo’s diversity goals is to increase women in senior leadership to 40% by 2025, and the new office needs to reflect the company’s progressive work culture. With diversity in mind, Sodexo encourages flexibility to work remotely and personalized work-life balance arrangements. The office also needs to support a myriad of working styles such as hotdesking and flexible configuration with both social spaces and focus areas.
解决方案
In September 2018, Sodexo entered into a partnership with Schneider Electric to revamp Sodexo’s APAC office. Within a short five-month period, the Sodexo office was fitted with a comprehensive suite of smart technologies ready for operations by January 2019. The project involved the deployment of Schneider Electric’s Building Management System and Building Advisor. These solutions target energy management, comfort management, and lifecycle service, all achieved through real-time data analytics. Linking up more than 200 sensors, Sodexo’s office is equipped to provide intelligent insights, drive automated actions and send alerts to improve both efficiency and comfort. For example, VOC sensors trigger smart cleaning and allow for more efficient deployment of labor resources. The Workplace Advisor occupancy sensors monitor whether certain areas in the office are being used, to facilitate planning and configuration of desks.

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009.
