We collected the data from UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya and do the simulation if their employees implement the digital workplace for three cases, 50% of the farthest employees, 50% of the nearest employees, and 50% on random. The efficiency of fuel used obtain was 44.39%, 5,61%, and 22.2% respectively.
