Global flexible space provider WeWork has debuted WeWork Workplace, a new space management solution built in partnership with real estate software provider Yardi. WeWork Workplace provides companies with a universal platform that enables inventory management across office spaces, enhanced employee experiences and space optimization through insights and analytics.
WeWork Workplace marries space, asset and people management capabilities, removing guesswork from designing a strategic work model by providing actionable data to inform decision making in real time, the company said. As a result, the software aims to help employers reduce real estate costs, while empowering employees to more purposefully engage with the spaces they choose and create more meaningful physical connections.
WeWork Workplace is the only product in the market that can combine all space types (privately leased/owned, WeWork and WeWork shared/affiliate) within a single experience, the announcement said. Additionally, companies that may need overflow space will have the option to enable access to WeWork and WeWork-affiliated locations for their employees globally.
“Businesses today must solve for bringing flexible work models to life – optimizing their spaces without sacrificing the culture, collaboration and productivity that happens in-person. This is what we aim to deliver with WeWork Workplace,” said Scott Morey, WeWork’s president of technology and innovation. “Combining our advantages in scale, speed and access to flexible spaces, with Yardi’s industry-leading software and tech capabilities, WeWork Workplace doesn’t stop at desk booking or at backend insights — it aims to solve for a dynamic, constantly evolving future of work.”
WeWork Workplace combines the capabilities needed, in one place, to help build, manage and evolve any office space strategy. The software features features built in–interactive floor maps, team booking capabilities, overflow booking automation, visitor management, company announcements and calendar integration; universal portfolio management across all asset types and stronger more accurate data.
