Case Study: The HBOS Group achieves integrated, automated space management and faster occupancy reporting with ARCHIBUS

UK Financial Services Giant HBOS Conquering Inner Space with ARCHIBUS

HBOS, formed in 2001 by the merger of Halifax and Bank of Scotland, is a major UK financial services group with about 73,500 employees and 130 corporate sites. The company struggled to allocate and track space across its extensive estate—their in‑house database was restrictive, costly to modify and eventually unsupported, leaving them without reliable, timely space-use information.

HBOS implemented ARCHIBUS Space Management in three months, giving automated, accurate occupancy and allocation reports and easier access to data. The user‑friendly, scalable system improved report turnaround, broadened access across the organisation, strengthened information sharing and provided a robust platform for future expansion.
