Creating Better Workplaces
Hybrid work is the working model of the future and is revolutionizing offices worldwide. The challenge here is that traditional experience values such as the head-to-desk ratio are becoming less important and intelligent rightsizing and sharing concepts are becoming necessary.
Thing-it's all-in-one platform combines efficient use of space with high productivity and employee satisfaction. At the same time, it contributes to the intelligent modernization of buildings and thus increases their value,

Sensor-based analyses and smart features enable dynamic sharing concepts and provide precisely the spaces that employees need to work productively and comfortably. The Thing-it app acts as a digital assistant for everyday tasks such as canteen menus, fault tickets or bookings. Like Google Maps in foreign cities, Thing-it helps you find your way around the company - for a stress-free working day and an office where employees enjoy coming together.

Improve your space efficiency
Thing-it enables large companies with hybrid working models to make optimal use of office space, reduce costs and emissions and minimize vacancies. Sensor-based usage data creates transparency about actual space utilization and supports the needs-based management of workstations, meeting rooms, parking spaces, etc. Dashboards provide real-time data for dynamic space optimization. Through flexible sharing concepts, we help with right-sizing and increase efficiency. Integration with MS 365 and existing IT systems enables smooth implementation and flexible hardware selection.
Flexible & needs-based management
Whether workstations, meeting rooms, parking spaces or e-charging stations

Each team gets exactly the space it needs with full transparency

By integrating into existing building management systems, lighting, heating and blinds can be controlled via app - without any switches, which saves large companies money right from the construction phase.
