Case Study: Glencore unites its workforce with Appspace

Uniting a deskless workforce with a global intranet

Glencore, a global diversified natural resource company with a large frontline workforce spread across 35 countries, needed a better way to communicate with employees, support mobile access, and unify its intranet within its existing Microsoft ecosystem. After relying on multiple systems and intranets, the company wanted a single platform that could improve knowledge sharing, foster communities, and work with SharePoint and Teams. Glencore chose Appspace’s Microsoft-based intranet and related enhanced services.

Appspace implemented a personalized intranet called The Core, launched in 2021, designed around employee feedback and built for two-way communication, multilingual collaboration, and mobile accessibility. The new platform gave Glencore a single source of truth, improved engagement across dispersed teams, and helped reduce IT spending by consolidating multiple intranets and custom enhancements. Glencore is also expanding its use of Appspace into digital signage to further unify its digital and physical workplace.
