Basking × Colliers — Partner Portal

Colliers’ real estate technology partner for occupancy & lease intelligence.

Partners since 2019. Basking turns the WiFi your clients already have into portfolio decisions — surfacing the savings hiding in space nobody uses, ahead of the next renewal, break option, or space request.

To deploy occupancy analytics per site — no new hardware

Already partners. Already delivering.

Basking has been Colliers’ global occupancy & lease analytics partner since 2019, through Colliers Occupier Technology Services — combining Basking’s real-time occupancy data with Colliers’ portfolio strategy, workplace advisory and transaction work for shared clients.

Is this right for your client?

Not every portfolio needs this. These are the situations where it changes the outcome of a conversation you’re already having.

A renewal or break option in the next 6–12 months

This is the window where utilization data still changes the decision. After the notice date passes, it’s just reporting.

A client asking for more space

Before you take the requirement to market, you can show whether the space they have is actually full — or just badly allocated.

Lease data spread across PDFs, spreadsheets, and someone’s inbox

No reliable answer to “when is the next notice date” is a compliance problem before it’s a software problem.

A forced migration off a legacy system

IBM is retiring TRIRIGA — support ends September 2027 and new orders already closed. Any client on it has to move somewhere.

Two sources of truth. One decision engine.

What a client leases, and how that space is actually used — joined by shared data and AI. That join is the pitch, and it’s what no CAFM or broker tool does end-to-end.

Occupancy Analytics

Know how space is actually used.

Infrastructure-as-sensor: existing Wi-Fi, badge, and calendar data become a unified occupancy signal. No new hardware, deployable in under two hours per site.

  • Real-time utilization by floor, building, portfolio
  • Right-sizing — actual use vs. lease obligation
  • Forecasting for capacity, growth, and RTO scenarios
  • Global benchmarks to frame every client conversation
LeaseOps + DocsAI

Every lease, every event, in one record.

AI abstraction turns any lease PDF into structured, audit-tracked data — hundreds of fields per document — then drives portfolio reporting, options, and approvals.

  • DocsAI extraction, confidence-scored per clause
  • ASC 842 / IFRS 16-ready reporting for Finance
  • Renewals, options, CPI, notice dates — never missed
  • Safe Passage migration: 50% admin cost reduction

Proof your clients will recognize.

$8M
Colliers · Dallas-Fort Worth

A 27,000 sf relocation was on the table for a growing office. Utilization data showed the space they had was enough — the lease was extended instead, and the $8M stayed in the client’s pocket.

What customers say.

Global occupiers running on Basking — across the U.S., EMEA and APAC.

“We’re not working just in the real estate and facilities bubble. It’s about taking all of that data and creating information the company can actually use.”
Tiffany English
Tiffany EnglishSenior Director of Architecture, Qualcomm
“Basking reaches directly into our data mart and gets real-time data. I don’t have to feed it to them. When we have a conversation with Eldar and his team, it’s not just us as the business, but it’s also IT there. That’s been very, very helpful.”

“With Basking we were up and running in less than a day and I was able to see the data from all the sites in scope.”

“This was about more than just gathering the workforce in one place. This partnership has allowed us to achieve our vision of the office as a ‘city centre.'”

“Basking makes it really easy to just plug and play. We can track occupancy across all of our buildings from one application and quickly share the data internally and with our suppliers.”

Right-sizing the lease is the headline number — and it’s not the only one.

Cutting rent on space nobody uses is the biggest win. The same occupancy data then pays for itself again in two more budgets: facilities and people.

Employee experience

Space that matches how people actually work.

  • Right-size desk and workspace layouts, fix the areas nobody uses
  • Design collaboration zones around when teams actually gather, not guesswork
  • Set hybrid and RTO policy from real attendance patterns
  • Route wellness investment to the areas with the most foot traffic
Mann+Hummel, Singapore: 30% better space utilization after consolidating three departments into one office.
Sustainability & cost

Stop heating, cooling and cleaning empty space.

  • Correlate HVAC and energy use with real occupancy, cut what’s unnecessary
  • Smart Cleaning directs crews to the zones actually used the day before
  • Consolidate low-occupancy sites into fewer buildings — less OPEX, less CapEx
  • Align catering and services with real attendance, cut waste
Patrizia SE consolidation: €600K annual rent saved, 143t CO₂ avoided.

Security, privacy & works council — answered up front

The first question on any client’s side, in EMEA and North America alike. SOC 2 Type 2 certified, GDPR- and CCPA-compliant, and privacy-by-design: occupancy is measured from existing network data with no individual tracking, which is what makes works-council approval straightforward rather than a six-month blocker.
