Norra Advisory Partners: 25% Real Estate Savings
By Sofia Andersson · January 10, 2026
The Challenge
Consultants at Norra Advisory Partners spent significant time at client sites, leaving their Stockholm office only 30–40% occupied on average. Yet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the office was occasionally overcrowded. They were paying for 100% capacity while dealing with both emptiness and occasional overcrowding.
The Transformation
Using three months of attendance data from OfficeMates, they consolidated their Stockholm office from two floors to one, saving 25% on rent (over €400,000 annually). They moved to a data-driven hot-desking model with full visibility for employees, ending the daily scramble for good spots.
The Results
- 25% reduction in real estate costs (€400,000+ annually)
- 60% improvement in desk utilisation
- 35% increase in employee satisfaction with the office experience
- Zero complaints about desk availability after the transition
“OfficeMates data made the business case for our office consolidation undeniable. We showed the board exactly which days were at capacity and which were empty.”
