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.

What our customers think
Our customers grow with us, which is why we proudly maintained 100% customer retention in both 2023 and 2024.
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.
It's becoming a bit of go-to software, particularly for local authorities and local government because we have such a diverse portfolio, and to capture that accurately is not easily done.
Excited at the opportunities that Concerto presents them with for delivering real business improvement and change.
Amazing product, incredible team.
We would like to express our gratitude to the entire Concerto team for your continued and relentless support. Thank you.
Concerto has been a real success in ensuring the team has access to information.
So much information, but the way you presented it meant it was easily retained.
The Service Desk is always very responsive to tickets raised.
I just want to rewatch the demo you did yesterday (it was THAT good!).
The support we have received from Dave has been exceptional. His knowledge and the speed/detail of his responses make everything easy to understand.
Concerto has been a game-changer.
Good forums involving other authorities.
