Autodesk Case Study FAQs

How did Hubli solve Autodesk's internal meeting spend visibility problem? expand_more

Before Hubli, Autodesk didn't have the ability to book internal spaces and group hotel stays all in one place. The internal space booking was predominantly manual with multiple email exchanges needed to identify if office meeting rooms were available to book. Hubli automated the process.

What reporting did Autodesk lack before Hubli? expand_more

Autodesk had zero visibility into internal meeting costs by department, couldn't track total annual spend on small meetings, had no benchmark data for forecasting, and couldn't demonstrate meetings program ROI to leadership because 40% of activity was happening in the shadows.

How did Hubli improve Autodesk's planner productivity? expand_more

By enabling self-serve booking for simple internal meetings, Hubli freed Autodesk's planners from handling 40% of low-complexity requests — allowing them to focus on high-value complex events, strategic supplier relationships, and program optimization rather than booking conference rooms.

What contract compliance challenge did Autodesk face with internal meetings? expand_more

Autodesk's internal meetings were bypassing negotiated hotel contracts entirely because bookers found external tools easier than procurement processes. Hubli's intuitive experience made compliant booking easier than going off-contract, driving adoption and recapturing preferred supplier volume.

How does Autodesk measure adoption across different user types? expand_more

Autodesk tracks booking volume by user role (admin, PA, planner), monitors self-serve vs. planner-assisted ratios, measures time-to-book by meeting complexity, and analyzes platform usage by department — data that validates their decision tree logic and identifies adoption opportunities.

What process improvement metrics matter most to Autodesk? expand_more

Autodesk measures time saved per booking (5 minutes vs. 45 minutes previously), planner capacity freed up (40% request volume reduction), spend captured that was previously invisible ($2M+ annually), and user satisfaction scores showing 85%+ would recommend the platform to colleagues.
