CBRE Global Corporate Services (GCS) has been recognised for its Benchmarking and Opportunity Spotting System (BOSS) in the annual CoreNet Global UK Chapter Awards.

The awards ceremony, held over breakfast at the Institute of Directors (IOD) in London, is one of the most prestigious events in the UK Corporate Real Estate calendar, honouring best practice and excellence in the field.

Matt Robertson, of GCS Consulting, collected the Innovation & Sustainability accolade in recognition of BOSS; the Benchmarking & Opportunity Spotting System designed to automate and industrialise the portfolio optimisation process for occupiers.

This innovative tool was created to meet occupiers’ needs for benchmarking reviews, and to address the fact that these reviews alone do not provide occupiers with actionable results with which to generate business cases. It can instantly review multiple scenarios in multiple locations, and its most recent application fully benchmarked a 400+ site portfolio and identified actionable savings of $40M+ to regear leases, relocate, co-locate, consolidate and improve workplace efficiency.

BOSS is one of the GCS Consulting tools designed to influence and speed up the decision making process through the interpretation of data and client information. Whether it be related to a client’s real estate, labour force, exposure to risk in different locations, or organisational structure. If you would like further information on how the team have developed these tools and methodologies to the benefit of International Corporate occupiers worldwide please contact Matt Robertson or Sue Asprey Price.
