BESAB is a Swedish construction company specializing in advanced foundation and civil engineering work. With just over 200 employees, the company works on complex projects in areas such as infrastructure, rock engineering, foundation reinforcement, and geotechnical engineering. Projects are often carried out at various locations throughout Sweden, which means that many employees need housing for shorter or longer periods near their work sites.
This makes the housing issue a strategically important part of the business from both a financial and an operational perspective.
The Challenge: Control and Cost in a Dynamic Organization
For BESAB, it is crucial to ensure that the right type of housing is booked, that internal guidelines are followed, and that costs do not spiral out of control. Without a structured approach, the housing issue risks becoming fragmented, expensive, and difficult to monitor.
In collaboration with Avisita, BESAB has developed a system in which frameworks, booking profiles, and clear processes make it possible to manage the entire housing process while reducing costs.
The solution: structure, insights, and clear processes
Through Avisita’s booking profile and established frameworks, BESAB can direct bookings toward the right options and create a seamless process for both project managers and employees on the front lines. This includes, among other things:
- Better cost control and compliance through frameworks
- Improved compliance with internal guidelines
- Collected data and more effective monitoring
- More efficient administration for project managers
- Lower overall housing costs
- A better overview of the housing situation for projects
With access to aggregated data, BESAB can analyze deviations, track progress across projects, and take a more proactive approach to procurement and planning.
The result: control and cost savings in practice
According to CFO Per Carlsson, the partnership with Avisita has given the company entirely new opportunities to take a more strategic approach to housing management.
“Avisita provides us with valuable insights into our housing costs and travel patterns. This gives us a better basis for decision-making and greater control over the big picture.”
Avisita's Perspective: A Partnership That Creates Business Value
Avisita also highlights the partnership as an example of how the right structure and approach can generate clear business value for project-intensive operations.
Anders Nordahl, Sales Manager at Avisita, describes the partnership with BESAB as both long-term and rewarding.
“BESAB is a great example of how companies can achieve both control and efficiency by taking a strategic approach to housing. That is exactly what we aim to achieve together with our customers.”
A strategy for long-term governance
For Avisita, this partnership is about more than just booking accommodations. It’s about helping companies like BESAB establish long-term governance, gain better insights, and create sustainable processes in an environment where people, projects, and logistics must work together every day.
