Axxerion (Spacewell Workplace): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Axxerion is a cloud-based facility and workplace management platform, now part of Spacewell. It supports the management of buildings, leases, maintenance and space use through configurable modules for facility and real estate workflows. In 2022 Axxerion and Cobundu were combined as Spacewell Workplace, covering space and floorplan management, reservations and visitors, service requests and occupancy and indoor air quality sensors. According to Spacewell, Axxerion's capabilities are evolving into Spacewell Asset and Maintenance Planning. It is delivered as SaaS, with mobile, automation and AI features.

Spacewell acquired Axxerion in January 2019 and is operated by Spacewell International NV in Antwerp, Belgium. It belongs to the Nemetschek Group, a publicly listed holding company headquartered in Munich, Germany, so the ultimate parent is also in the EU. Spacewell does not state which cloud provider or data centre region hosts the platform; its privacy policy refers only to unnamed third-party processors and to standard contractual clauses for transfers outside the EEA. Hosting and sub-processors should therefore be agreed in the contract.
