Waste Management, Inc. (WMI)
The Client:
- Largest Garbage Company in North America
- Fortune 200 company
- Annual Revenues: $12B+
- Market Share: 25%
- Corporate Real Estate Portfolio: 2500 properties worth more than $7B
The Challenge:
Given recent industry consolidation, changing demographics, newly available
technologies and corporate restructuring initiatives, top executives in the corporate real
estate department needed to determine: 1) optimal market areas for redistricting, 2)
appropriate acquisition and disposition targets, and 3) new market opportunities
deserving of additional resources.
The Solution:
N Space Labs worked with WMI and their Facilities Management Consultants to develop
a comprehensive business data-mapping program that:
- Represented property dispersion
- Identified competitor locations
- Identified market reach and penetration
- Highlighted growth and expansion opportunities
- Recommended market area boundaries
- Tracked financial performance over time
- Improved real estate database accuracy
By strategically visualizing corporate data using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
mapping, N Space Labs helped the WMI corporate real estate group make difficult
portfolio decisions. Because of the increasing complexity of real estate portfolio
management and the importance of GIS, N Space continues to provide widespread
mapping services for WMI. In addition to corporate real estate applications, N Space
maps assist with national customer pricing decisions, investor and media relations, and
financial planning and analysis.
