The role of Facility Management is evolving faster than ever. While it once focused primarily on managing buildings, workplaces, and facility services, the emphasis is now increasingly on creating an optimal employee experience. Technology plays a crucial role in this transformation. One platform enabling this shift is ServiceNow Workplace Delivery. Find out how it’s transforming Facility Management from an operational function into a strategic driver of workplace experience.
ServiceNow Workplace Delivery: The Key to Future-Proof Facility Management
Impact on Workplace Experience
The workplace of the future is defined by user experience and productivity. Employees expect the same ease of use in professional applications as they do from consumer apps: fast, intuitive, and always available. ServiceNow Workplace Delivery makes this possible through self-service functionality, smart workflows, and seamless integration into other business applications. In practice, this means:
Employees can book a workspace, report an issue, or arrange catering through a single app.
Facility teams receive automatic notifications and can efficiently distribute tasks.
Dashboards provide insights into the use of spaces and services, enabling better-informed strategic decisions (e.g. downsizing office space or redesigning layouts).
The result: higher employee satisfaction and cost savings through more efficient resource use.
From Operational to Strategic
Traditionally, Facility Management focused on solving daily operational issues, such as reporting malfunctions, managing cleaning services, and booking meeting rooms. These tasks were often carried out using separate systems, phone calls, or even paper forms. The result: fragmented processes, slow follow-up, and limited transparency.
ServiceNow Workplace Delivery changes this, positioning Facility Management as a strategic initiative. The platform unifies all facility processes within a single digital environment, enabling employees to easily submit requests and reports via a user-friendly interface. For facility managers, this means:
Real-time insights
Measurable KPIs
Ability to make data-driven decisions
Real World Example: From Unwritten Processes to Measurable Performance
A Dutch public sector organization approached flowworkx with a familiar challenge: facility management processes were mostly informal, inconsistent, and differed widely between departments. Employees submitted requests via email or phone, responsibilities were unclear, and there were no defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs). This resulted in inconsistent service delivery, limited visibility of performance, and frustration among employees and facility teams alike.
flowworkx supported the organization to translate these unwritten processes into a transparent, structured way of working using ServiceNow Workplace Delivery. Together, we:
Mapped and standardized all facility workflows in close collaboration with internal teams.
Introduced clear SLAs and ownership for each service category.
Deployed a self-service portal for all workplace requests - from cleaning to maintenance and reservations.
Implemented dashboards for real-time insights into workload, response times, and employee satisfaction.
The impact was immediate: service requests were handled faster and more consistently, and managers finally had access to the data they needed to make strategic decisions. Within a few months, the organization improved response times by 20–30 % and significantly increased employee satisfaction.
