Space Planning

Effectively control your space usage for dramatic savings

A recent Corenet Global study uncovered that, on average, companies only use 45% of their office space. The potential for cost savings from this is significant, as the average workspace costs a company over $9,500 per year.

Planon software is designed to help companies realize these savings through the systematic management of space across the property portfolio. Using Planon Smart Workplace, organizations can:

  • Match space utilization with the demands from departments and tenants.
  • Easily analyze information to provide reliable snapshots of both current usage and vacant space.
  • Accurately charge back and ensure the right costs are associated with the right department or occupant.
  • Simply and easily integrate drawings within the Planon solution. Gain a quick snapshot with the CAD drawing timeline of who sits where, to more efficiently plan and allocate space for the future.
  • With flexible space classification and reporting features, make space calculations according to internationally agreed standards like ISO 9836, or industry-specific requirements, such as government reporting in education and healthcare environments.
  • Plan and automatically update future spatial changes and moves in the system at the specified date.

  • “Planon not only enables us to improve and innovate our processes, but also delivers our clients full visibility and transparency on our services, offering them greater performance and reactivity and, ultimately, the best value for their money.”
    – Pascal Milland, Vice President Facilities Management Services, Sodexo

  • “The management reports that we can generate have given us a much better picture of space utilization. Improved visibility into our resource use enables us to plan better, manage work orders more efficiently and to make better use of our time.”
    – Maryanne Keller, Head of Facility Management, Bayer

  • “So, are we happy with Planon? Yes – they can be both proactive and reactive, and I like the fact that I get sensible replies to my questions. They know where I’m coming from; they’re not just a remote software house. And, of course, they’re a sizeable company with a good user base, so there’s backup available for their developments.”
