Tango Acquires billie: New Capabilities Deepen Workplace Engagement and Help Companies Achieve Employee-Centric ESG Goals
Deal accelerates Tango’s vision of optimizing the intersection of People and Place
Tango, a leading provider of cloud-based store lifecycle management and integrated workplace management software, announced it has acquired billie, a mobile-first workplace application that uses gamification to engage employees and modernize workspace solutions. The transaction further extends Tango’s position as the global leader in real estate and facilities management.
Most organizations have focused on the management of “Place” – the planning, building, and operating of real estate locations and the assets within them. With the acquisition of AgilQuest, and now billie, Tango has expanded to the equally important “People” side of real estate, ensuring employees are engaged and productive at the workplace. In addition to core functionality enabling employees to book workspaces and submitting requests, billie’s “My Contributions” functionality encourages employees to create positive and lasting change by gamifying an organization’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals and initiatives.
