About ABOUT YOU
High number of employees - high noise level
- Little space in the office: With the steadily growing number of employees, the Hamburg headquarters of ABOUT YOU became too cramped. The meeting rooms were also usually occupied and often overcrowded, as people from the full open-plan office moved to meeting rooms. Therefore, a space-saving solution was needed for the employees to work in a concentrated and focused manner in the office, but also to enable meetings at the same time.
- Effective noise reduction: As the number of employees increases, so does the noise level. Since a large proportion of employees work in support, the room acoustics had to be improved, not only to be able to work in a focused manner, but also to guarantee the quality of customer calls. Suitable acoustic solutions were required to reduce the noise level and improve the acoustics.
- Modern design: As a fashion company, the work areas are also modern and stylish. The office furniture also had to meet this requirement and fit into the design of the existing design.
- Low costs: The company is experiencing sustained growth. The available capital is primarily needed to promote growth. In order to burden the cash flow as little as possible, other forms of financing were sought that do not require high one-off payments.
- Flexible solution: It must also be possible to flexibly add further acoustic solutions in the future, as the requirements may change due to rapid growth and further products may be needed.
Trade 1m2 of space for peace & concentration
Telephone & meeting booths as a space-saving solution
When looking for a suitable solution, ABOUT YOU came across the phone booth Lilly for one person and Laura with space for two people from Lendis. With them, two problems could be solved at once. As a retreat, they offer the possibility to work in a focused manner. They also function as an additional meeting opportunity. With a size of 1 m2 or 2 m2 , the cabins are extremely space-saving. At the same time, they offer a high level of comfort, which means that even longer telephone calls can be made without any problems. A major plus point: the modern design of the phone booths fits easily into any office.
The right financing model
Planning & Delivery
After clarifying the requirements in an initial personal meeting, our experts were quickly able to demonstrate the advantages of the Office as a Service solution.
With the help of a 3D model, which was created on the basis of the office floor plan, the planning began. This visualisation helps our clients to better imagine the future office and to formulate adaptation wishes. Together with ABOUT YOU, we were able to complete the planning phase quickly.
Another advantage: Lendis regularly has a large proportion of its products in stock. This meant that the high demand for phone booths could be met quickly. Together with the delivery, our logistics and assembly team took care of the professional and quick assembly of all phone booths on site. This meant that employees were able to use the new facility immediately.
The flexible solution
Calm & concentration - even in an open-plan office
ABOUT YOU has been using the phone booths from Lendis for over a year now and they have been gratefully received by the staff. The boxes are now fully integrated into everyday office life and offer a welcome alternative to the overcrowded meeting rooms or the noisy open-plan office of the fashion company.
Because the phone booths were very well received by the employees, ABOUT YOU decided to use Lendis phone booths for the expansion of the Hamburg office as well.
But not only the colleagues were satisfied with the solution found. The partnership with Lendis also paid off financially. By renting from Lendis, ABOUT YOU was able to save over €47,000 compared to the usual purchase. This calculation includes the following services:
Logistics
Service
Lendis offers an all-in-one service, which ABOUT YOU particularly appreciates. This includes a dedicated contact person who solves any problems that arise within the shortest possible time, as well as the repair of minor defects or the exchange of faulty products. With the Lendis platform, ABOUT YOU can also easily record and manage inventory.
The fast processing convinced ABOUT YOU. Less than 8 weeks passed from the first personal contact to the delivery of the phone booths.
CO2 Emissions
Lendis & ABOUT YOU take responsibility for our planet and our environment. The Lendis rental model offers a sustainable alternative to the usual purchase, because products have a longer life cycle through multiple use. In addition, Lendis compensates for all emissions that arise. As a result, the ABOUT YOU order saved over 2,400 kg of CO2 emissions could be saved in comparison to the purchase.
But the most important question is, what does ABOUT YOU say about working with Lendis?
