About this webinar
CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) delivers facilities services across thousands of sites through a global network of subcontractors — where margin and control depend on visibility.
In this fireside chat, Peter May, Transformation Director at CBRE (GWS), joins Justin Barlow, VP of Sales at Simpro, for a candid conversation about how CBRE turned their visibility challenge into a genuine commercial advantage.
They’ll explore how CBRE built one source of truth across a global, multi-company subcontractor network, moved from reactive maintenance toward proactive asset control, and created stronger alignment between the field and the office.
They’ll also look ahead to what’s next for the field service trades — and how a digital workforce powered by Simpro Lightning can extend visibility and control across a distributed network without growing the back office.
Whether you manage a global real estate or a workplace solutions portfolio, or run one of the trades businesses delivering that work on the ground, this session will show what’s possible when the field and the office finally see the same data.
