Workplace Service Delivery manages the physical workplace the way IT manages services.

Core apps

  • Workplace Reservation Management, book desks, rooms and parking, with maps and neighbourhoods.
  • Workplace Space Management, model floors and capacity; plan moves.
  • Workplace Case Management, route facilities requests (a broken chair, a spill) to the right team.
  • Workplace Maintenance, preventive and reactive maintenance of the building.
Hybrid-work driver. WSD exists because desks are no longer 1:1 with employees. Reservation and utilisation data let real-estate teams right-size the portfolio, often the second-largest line of corporate cost after payroll.

On one platform

WSD shares the Employee Center with HR and Legal, so a new-hire's desk, laptop and HR onboarding tasks can all fire from one flow.
