The software has several vendors in the market, with global scope, and typically modular format. Some of them are FM Systems, IBM Tririga and Serraview.
Luis Peterlini, Project Coordinator at Cushman & Wakefield, talks about the main benefits of IWMS: ''space optimization with a focus on employee experience, integration between different departments, such as Facilities, Real Estate, HR, Accounting and Finance, are some of the activities facilitated by the tool'', he explains.
Functionalities
The IWMS features are modular and vary by vendor or developer, but overall, Luis highlights the main features:
Managing workstation and meeting room reservations
Fundamental for hybrid working models and space optimization, being able to provide real data of use and occupation of space, for evaluations on changes in the real estate portfolio. Some even allow connecting with sensing data, for example, presence sensors identify which tables are free and which are occupied throughout the day.
Space management
Simple and intuitive screens, with graphic and visual filters, which can spatially show the different categorizations and their distributions in space. For example, when activating the visualization by the department filter, it is possible to see through different colors of the plant where each area is allocated. You can also categorize each space according to its noise level, and by activating this filter, you can visualize how areas with different sound impacts are distributed. It also has a stacking view of the floors.
Movement management
Call opening forms and movement simulation available to assist in decision making and integration with the departments involved.
People directory
From the information load, the IWMS can bring up directories with information about people and their allocations in space.
Financial reports
Also from the information load, IWMS provides reports such as the area occupied by each department, person, etc., helping in financial and accounting processes.
Portfolio management (Real Estate)
It helps with a centralized and comprehensive view of the entire portfolio of properties and leases, helping with more assertive decisions, optimizing courses, in order to facilitate management, with easy and integrated reports.
Asset management
The IWMS can integrate asset management, and the distribution and relationship of these with spaces, contributing to the institution's financial reports and asset analysis.
How can Cushman & Wakefield help?
Cushman & Wakefield has a global partnership with the Serraview tool, powered by SpaceIQ, through which they believe that modern, connected workspaces are good for business and great for people.
The partnership offers advantages in the implementation, with global support from Cushman & Wakefield, carried out by the Space Management, Planning, and Occupance team, which can lead the implementation, with the preparation of data and files, implementation, and monitoring of the tool.
In addition to implementation, for a good use of the IWMS, constant monitoring, updating, support for use, and definition and support with flows are necessary. Cushman & Wakefield can also support these processes with its expertise.
The partnership with Serraview can result in very attractive discounts for Cushman & Wakefield's end customer when hiring the tool, in the Saas model (software as a service).
