Deloitte, Amsterdam

Challenge

Deloitte wanted to create a high-tech office building that helped employees work activity-based. The building, equipped with multiple meeting rooms, open workspaces, and short-stay desks, needed smart technology to support this.

On top of that, twice as many employees as the available workplaces work at the Edge. For that reason, it was necessary to give employees the possibility to easily book a meeting room, check room availability, and have access to real-time occupancy insights.

In order to realize their goal of building a high-tech office building, they brought together a team of industry experts and start-ups, including Mapiq, and challenged us all to develop the best office building in the world. In doing so, Deloitte became our pilot customer.

The Mapiq solution

All data from Deloitte is collected in our smart office platform. It connects their building systems, 23.000 sensors, and iBeacons altogether. At the heart of our platform lies Deloitte’s 3D map, this enables employees to have access to a complete digital office overview. Mapiq supports Deloitte’s employees to:

• Easily find available workplaces, facilities, and meeting rooms. This decreases the time employees spent wandering around the office.
• Book meeting rooms, conversation spaces, and workplaces in seconds to make efficient use of the flexible work environment and increase ad-hoc get-togethers.
• Find free lockers and AV-equipment and control these. This boosts employee autonomy and flexibility.
• Book shifts in the office upfront and match days with team members to encourage collaboration.

Safe return to the office

Employees at Deloitte can easily book shifts upfront and match days in the office with team members with Mapiq. This way, the facilities team of Deloitte can manage a safe office capacity. Together, we will bridge the gap between office and remote work. Mapiq is now used at 16 offices from Deloitte worldwide.

Our impact

With Deloitte at The Edge, Mapiq has contributed to the evolution of the modern workspace by creating one of the most innovative office buildings in the world. The implementation of our smart office platform has resulted in the following key impacts:

• A 40% significantly lower level of sickness absence.
