The challenge

A rapidly growing professional services firm with 45 offices across the Nordics was managing leases in spreadsheets and shared drives. The RE team of 3 spent most of their time on administrative tasks — tracking critical dates, reconciling data for board reports, and manually reviewing contracts before renewals. They missed a break clause on a major Stockholm lease that cost them 18 months of unnecessary rent.

The solution

Workplacer was deployed across the portfolio in under a week. All 45 leases were uploaded and abstracted by AI in a single afternoon. The obligation calendar immediately surfaced 12 upcoming critical dates that had no owner assigned.

Reduction in contract review time — from days to minutes per lease

Annual savings identified through cost benchmarking in first month

The break clause we missed last year cost us more than 5 years of Workplacer. We'll never have that conversation again.

European Manufacturing Group

Contract IntelligenceCost & Risk IntelligencePortfolio MapIFRS 16 Tool
The challenge

Post-acquisition, this manufacturing group had inherited a patchwork of lease agreements across 12 countries — different languages, different contract structures, different local norms. The CFO needed cost transparency across the full portfolio, but the RE team couldn't produce a single consistent view. IFRS 16 compliance was a quarterly nightmare that consumed the finance team for 2 weeks every quarter.

The solution

Workplacer abstracted all 80+ contracts regardless of language. The portfolio map and cost intelligence module gave the CFO a real-time view for the first time. IFRS 16 schedules are now generated directly from abstracted lease data.

Portfolio cost visibility for the first time in company history

For the first time since the acquisition, I can see exactly what we're paying per square metre in every country. That visibility has completely changed how we approach lease negotiations.

Global Technology Company

Project EngineMarket AreasSpace Program ToolsScenario Modeller
The challenge

This technology company was consolidating its European footprint from 28 offices to 15. The workplace strategy team had the strategic direction, but translating it into executable space programs, location analysis, and business cases for each site was taking 4-6 weeks per location with external consultants at €2,000/day.

The solution

The project engine was set up with a consolidation playbook. Market area analysis was run for every target city. Space programs were generated from actual activity profiles and occupancy data. Business cases were produced using the scenario modeller with real cost data from the portfolio.

Sites consolidated with data-driven decision-making throughout

The space program tool alone saved us 3 weeks of consulting time per location. Multiply that by 13 sites and you see why this paid for itself immediately.
