How BenchCore Helped a Fortune 100 Oil & Gas Company Identify $45MM in Savings

WHO WE HELPED
The Facilities and Head of Office Real Estate at a Fortune 100 oil and gas company.

THE CHALLENGE
This organization has historically relied on their brokerage to perform benchmarking reports, which has caused problems with biased, untrustworthy data and lack of customization abilities in order to drill down on the metrics that actually matter to the business.

THE SOLUTION
BenchCore allows the facilities team to analyze the exact cost and size benchmarks that are relevant to them on a global scale. The team can now make cost-cutting decisions based on defendable data across metrics like global market asking rents and vacancy, domestic tenant improvement on new leases and renewals, quartile benchmarks, and site-versus-site performance.

THE BUSINESS IMPACT
This Fortune 100 utilized BenchCore’s peer benchmarking tool to set actionable and attainable goals, identifying over $45MM in operational cost savings opportunities globally.
