Seamless Transition to Maptician for a Leading Financial Services Firm

Setting the Stage
A financial services company with approximately 700 employees, headquartered in New York with 10 office locations, needed to modernize its workplace management tools. With their previous platform expiring, they required a solution that could be rolled out quickly while still delivering flexibility, scalability, and long-term value. The Associate Director of Facilities and Real Estate served as the primary point of contact throughout the evaluation and implementation process.

Obstacles on the Road to Modernization
The organization faced several obstacles:

  • Planning Blind Spots: Managers lacked scenario-planning tools to model seating arrangements and forecast departmental changes.
  • Frustrated Employees: Staff wanted a simple, intuitive way to book desks, but the existing platform was clunky and inefficient.
  • The Ticking Clock: With their old system’s contract expiring in just one week, the company needed a seamless transition with zero downtime.

The Journey with Maptician
When evaluating workplace management solutions, the company reviewed multiple vendors before selecting Maptician. Their decision was driven by:

  • Intuitive Design: Users across departments described Maptician as “impressive, intuitive, and super easy to work with.”
  • Cross-Department Alignment: Every team that joined the demos agreed the platform aligned with their needs.
  • Proven Experience: A key evaluator, with prior exposure to other platforms, selected Maptician for its superior ease of use and efficiency.
  • Responsive Partnership: Maptician’s implementation team stood out for its proactive communication and clear guidance throughout the process.

Despite the tight timeline, Maptician was fully deployed in under a week. The rollout included mapping office layouts, conducting kickoff calls, configuring seat booking and scenario planning tools, and delivering training—all finalized one day before the prior system expired.

Maptician delivered immediate impact:

  • Smarter Planning: Managers gained flexibility with scenario-planning capabilities to anticipate changes and growth.
  • Seamless Adoption: Employees quickly embraced the seat booking system for its simplicity.
  • Flawless Transition: The switch from the old system was completed with no disruption.
  • Scalable Solution: Within one month, the company added a new office location in Maptician, demonstrating how easily the platform could expand with business needs.
