One of the world’s largest and most recognized consumer goods companies manages a vast and complex real estate portfolio, encompassing a wide range of regions, asset types, and workplace functions. With operations spanning the globe, their real estate and workplace services teams are responsible for ensuring that physical space aligns with business strategy, supports employees effectively, and remains cost-efficient.
The Challenge
In the past, the company relied on separate systems to manage its real estate portfolio and capital projects. While each served a purpose, the lack of integration between them created significant inefficiencies. Data was siloed, updates were inconsistent, and gaining a consolidated, real-time view of portfolio activity proved difficult. Teams often carried out redundant efforts, manually coordinated information, and spent unnecessary time reconciling data between systems to keep lease details consistent, update project milestones in multiple places, and generate reports that required piecing together data from both tools.
As the company’s global footprint expanded and the demand for strategic, data-driven real estate planning grew, these inefficiencies became harder to ignore. They needed a more streamlined, centralized solution that could scale with operations, support faster decision-making, and reduce overhead.
Selecting a Unified Platform
The organization was in search of a strategic platform that could support global real estate strategy, workplace services, and capital project execution in one place.
After evaluating several vendors, Nuvolo’s Real Estate product was ultimately selected. Nuvolo offered the scalability, security, and enterprise-grade functionality required, along with the flexibility to adapt to specific business needs. Because Nuvolo is natively built on ServiceNow, a platform already in use at the company, the transition was seamless and cost-effective.
For this organization, Nuvolo wasn’t just a replacement for multiple systems, it was a pathway to modernizing workplace management globally.
Centralizing Data and Unlocking Global Visibility
Implementation of Nuvolo marked a pivotal moment in the company’s real estate transformation. By consolidating multiple tools into a single, cloud-based platform, the company eliminated redundancies and created a unified source of truth for all real estate and project data.
The Real Estate Transaction Management component quickly became one of the most valuable. With its intuitive design, configurable fields, and flexible workflows, teams could track project progress, manage updates in real time, and collaborate more effectively across regions.
Centralizing real estate data improved data quality and consistency while enabling visibility into space utilization, occupancy, and lease terms. With accurate, real-time insights, the company optimized space usage, reduced unnecessary leases, and made faster, better-informed decisions.
Tangible Results and Strategic Impact
Since implementing Nuvolo, the company has reported measurable improvements in both financial performance and operations.
Most notably, they achieved an estimated 40% reduction in annual run costs compared to their legacy real estate solution.
This was enabled by eliminating duplicate systems, automating administrative tasks, and leveraging Nuvolo’s SaaS-based model on ServiceNow.
Beyond cost savings, adoption among users grew significantly. Teams across regions began using the platform more frequently, supported by role-based dashboards and intuitive navigation. Reporting, once a time-consuming challenge, became a streamlined process with real-time insights for faster decision-making.
A Strong Foundation for Growth
Today, this global consumer goods leader operates with greater agility and visibility than ever before. With Nuvolo at the core of its real estate and workplace operations, the company is well-positioned to scale its real estate strategy, integrate with adjacent functions, and continue improving how space supports business growth.
The success of this implementation goes beyond technology. By simplifying operations, increasing data accuracy, and improving collaboration, the company created a smarter, more connected workplace.
