From complexity to clarity: Centralising a £100 million estate strategy

With a campus spanning 290 hectares, multiple sites and more than 30,000 people, the University of Warwick needed a smarter, more connected way to manage its estate. A growing pipeline of projects and the need for real-time oversight made it clear: fragmented systems weren't enough.
That's why they turned to Concerto.
One platform, total control
The estates team needed visibility across budgets, timelines and documents. Concerto provided a single, flexible platform that brought everything together in one place.
Initially focused on project and cost management, the implementation quickly expanded to support a much broader estate strategy. Today, Concerto gives Warwick:
- Live tracking of a £100m+ capital programme
- Integration with internal finance systems
- Real-time reporting for spend, progress and risks
- Centralised document management with full version control
From on-site teams to external consultants, everyone works from the same up-to-date information, wherever they are.
“Concerto has helped us move from fragmented processes to connected progress. Everyone's on the same page.”
Designed to scale with the University
Warwick's success wasn't just down to the software. It was the way they shaped it to fit their needs. The team rethought their workflows, aligned processes and tailored the platform around how they actually work.
The results:
- High adoption from internal staff and external contractors
- Clearer communication with stakeholders
- Full confidence in cost control and programme delivery
Concerto now underpins Warwick's estates operation. It's not just a system. It's a strategic asset.

Whether you oversee a campus, a council or a corporate portfolio, Concerto helps you move from scattered data to strategic clarity faster, together.

What our customers think
Our customers grow with us, which is why we proudly maintained 100% customer retention in both 2023 and 2024.
The best onboarding consultant we ever had.
In terms of when we go to Concerto with something we think we need, their skills at working with us to provide solutions but not always ones that cost us money.
I know I've said it a million times but on our own side I'm so happy how things are going and personally, I can't speak highly enough of Will.
David Carr was at the forefront of data migration from an old Access database to the Concerto Product, setting up simple to use templates, and challenging data sets.
You guys have been superb. Our onboarding consultant, Rachel, gets a special mention.
The implementation of the Concerto Project & Programme system has improved our project planning and execution.
Working with you does not feel like a battle as some projects do with suppliers but definitely more of a partnership.
We would like to express our gratitude to the entire Concerto team for your continued and relentless support. Thank you.
Dave's technical knowledge, ability to clearly explain matters and timely email updates alongside Rachel's customer focused approach and network of colleagues within Concerto were fully appreciated by the City of London team.
Excited at the opportunities that Concerto presents them with for delivering real business improvement and change.
We all came away feeling very confident that we’ll be well guided through this major project.
We are a challenging organisation to work with as you can imagine, which is why I wanted to share how Leo has done an amazing job to be committed at short notice, with all aspects of the project whether this be remotely or in person.
