Case Study: Vodafone achieves faster, more accurate space management and self-service moves with SpaceIQ (Archibus Web Central)

Why Space and Occupancy Were Key to Vodafone's £1B Cost Savings Initiative

Vodafone Group, the global telecommunications leader, needed to improve profitability as part of a company-wide £1 billion cost-reduction initiative by re-evaluating how efficiently it used its office estate—44 buildings totaling 1.45M sq ft and roughly 7,000 employee moves annually. To replace error-prone Excel processes and get faster, more accurate space and personnel information, Vodafone engaged SpaceIQ, deploying Archibus Space Management, Move Management and Web Central dashboards.

SpaceIQ implemented Archibus with CAD/Revit integration and web-enabled self-service move workflows and dashboards, giving Vodafone desktop planning, real-time occupancy views, and graphical reporting. The solution cut the UK quarterly census from weeks to a single day, supports ~7,000 moves per year across 1.45M sq ft, helped maintain occupancy targets above 95%, and drove down real estate management costs—directly supporting Vodafone’s billion‑pound savings initiative.
