AFRY runs its Nordic office portfolio on Workplacer
AFRY is a European leader in engineering, design and advisory services. With a new Nordic Real Estate organisation handling more than 130 offices, AFRY needed a fundamentally new way to manage, analyse and act on their portfolio — in one place, in real time.
“In Workplacer we are connecting what we already have. One place where the whole portfolio lives, not just as data, but as something the whole team can actually act on.”
The challenge
Building a new real estate function means inheriting complexity: lease agreements in the group's register, desk counts and site data in spreadsheets, the organisation in the HR system, and occupancy measured in two places at once — access control at the door and network presence across the office. Each source was right about its own slice. None of them added up to one picture.
With workplace projects running across the portfolio at any given time, from small rebuilds to large-scale moves, the need for a structured, consistent way to run those projects was just as pressing.
The approach
AFRY partnered with Workplacer to bring their entire Nordic portfolio into a single, data-driven flow — covering both portfolio intelligence and project execution. Contract and financial data is combined with occupancy, people and workplace data, giving a complete and continuously updated picture across all 130+ offices. An AI intelligence layer connects the dots across all sources, translating patterns into concrete next steps.
“For us this isn't a technology project. It's a new way of running real estate where decisions are made on what's actually happening, not what someone thinks is happening.”
On the project side, AFRY has built a customised framework within Workplacer that applies the same structured, high-quality process across every site and every project type — from needs analysis and scenario modelling to fit-out and handover, powered by Workplacer's full analytical toolbox.
What this means in practice
For AFRY's Nordic Real Estate team, Workplacer is now the daily operational layer connecting portfolio strategy, workplace decisions, project management and day-to-day operations across the entire organisation, with everything in one place, and the tools to act on it, without manual effort.
130 offices. One truth.
