One Truth, 130 Offices: AFRY's AI-Driven Approach to Workplace Intelligence

Workplace decisions are often fragmented. Not for lack of data, but lack of alignment. Data lives in different systems, teams operate in silos, and the full picture is never quite visible.

With a new Nordic Real Estate organisation spanning more than 130 offices, AFRY is shaping a fundamentally new way to make decisions and take action across their portfolio. By bringing together portfolio optimisation, workplace strategy and day-to-day operations in a single, data-driven flow, they are taking what they already have, giving it full visibility and the tools to act on it.

An AI intelligence layer automatically transforms data from multiple sources into insights and action, surfacing patterns and connections that no single data source could reveal on its own. For AFRY, this isn't a technology project. It's a new way of running real estate, where decisions are made on what's actually happening, not what someone thinks is happening.
