Case Study: O2 Telefónica improves hybrid office planning with Haltian Empathic Building

O2 Telefonica pilots Haltian Empathic Building across 3 floors in Munich

O2 Telefónica, a major telecommunications company, faced the challenge of redesigning its office space at the O2 Tower in Munich to support activity-based and hybrid working models. The company needed to understand how employees were using the new spaces to make educated, data-driven decisions before scaling the design. To address this, O2 Telefónica piloted the Haltian Empathic Building smart office solution to collect anonymous utilization data.

The solution implemented by Haltian provided a digital twin of the office, allowing employees to find available desks, colleagues, and workspaces. For facility management, it delivered real-time occupancy and air quality data, enabling on-demand cleaning and the evaluation of which spaces were most attractive. While specific metrics are not provided, the solution equipped O2 Telefónica with the data needed to optimize its office design and manage the transition to activity-based working more effectively. Haltian's tool also allowed for ad-hoc changes and communication without software development.
