Case Study: Scaling the Field: How CBRE Built a High-Performance Foundation for Global Service Delivery

Tasked with managing over 60 million annual work orders across 90 countries, CBRE moved beyond manual scheduling to implement a sophisticated batch optimization engine. By transitioning from reactive planning to a "macro-planning" model, they increased actual technician "wrench time" from 62% to over 80%. This session explores how CBRE is future-proofing its global operations by creating a scalable, automated framework that balances internal resources with a 40,000-strong vendor network.

Case Study: Hundreds of Error Codes, One Solution 

Field service technicians make dozens of high-stakes decisions every day— often alone, without the right information at hand. Service logs, tribal knowledge, and standard work documentation exist in every organization. They're just rarely accessible when a technician is standing in front of a broken piece of equipment. 

Carolina Handling, the premier intralogistics material handling company in the Southeast, partnered with Squint to change that: connecting execution systems, documentation, and institutional expertise into a single Industrial Intelligence layer that every technician in the field can call upon, right from their device.  

In this session, you'll learn: 

  • How Carolina Handling designed an efficient pilot to evaluate the solution and build enthusiasm for a new, AI-enabled tool
  • Why starting small—with a single team—can create big transformation throughout an organization (because other teams don’t want to miss out)
  • What it takes to connect tribal knowledge, standard work, and execution data into a system technicians actually use
  • How an Industrial Intelligence layer gets smarter over time, turning every service interaction into an input for continuous improvement
  • Why using Squint reduced escalations and improved first-time-fix rates by putting the right knowledge in front of technicians at the moment they need it
