Hypoport successfully implements sharing concept with Thing-it 

With Thing-it, Hypoport has successfully developed a sharing concept across multiple locations that enables easy booking of desks, meeting rooms, parking spaces and lockers. As a result, they have created the perfect combination of space efficiency and flexibility for their employees, which is both efficient and adaptable.

The goal

Hypoport's aim is to create an outstanding working environment with a unique atmosphere. Through this measure, the company aims to gain a competitive advantage and hopes toattract new employees while optimising the use of space. 

The Challenge

Like many other companies, Hypoport was faced with the challenge of adapting to the changes of recent years. Experience gained before the pandemic no longer played a role.Traditional workplace concepts were no longer sufficient. To make flexibility and efficiency a top priority, our client needed to find new ways to organise their working environments. 

The challenge they had to face

  • Hybrid work has long been an integral part of the corporate culture  

  • Flexible "home office days as required" model  

  • Company space often remained unused during the pandemic  

  • New workplace concepts, experiences before the pandemic invalidated 

The need for a new work concept

  • Switch from fixed desks to desk sharing 

  • Possibility to sublet offices and reduce space costs 

  • Increasing cultural representation through agile, modern and digital office buildings 

  • Need for talented employees due to continuous company growth

The importance of a well thought-out desk-sharing concept 

The change goes far beyond the mere transition from fixed to flexible desks. Employees were confronted with a variety of new challenges: How do I find my desk? Where do I store my things? Managing such a flexible environment is a whole new world - both for employees and property managers. Therefore, Hypoport aimed for more than just a desk booking app: They wanted an app that covered all facets of this new working model. 

After comparing different all-in-one Workplace solutions, Lennart Goschin decided to use Thing-it: 

""We chose Thing-it because the platform outperformed all competitors in our scoring – it was the workplace solution with the bestusability, the broadest range of use cases, and it easily integrates with additional features.""

The Solution

Hypoport has worked closely with Thing-it and its implementation partner, e-shelter security GmbH, to provide its employees with a modern working environment. The innovative Thing-it app enables the flexible booking of desks and rooms, access control and locker management. The roll-out began in the MY. B office in Berlin. A week later, the office in Bayreuth and other locations in Germany followed suit. This strategic partnership strengthens Hypoport's position as an employer and helps to optimally fulfil the needs of its employees.  

Hypoport is creating an improved workplace experience for its employees:

  • Flexibility in the ad-hoc booking of meeting rooms and workstations 

  • Quickly locate free resources in the area 

  • Spontaneous access to more resources that are available again thanks to space utilisation analysis 

  • Possibility to store private items in a locker even without a fixed workplace 

  • Convenient access control via smartphone 

The result

Thing-it's space occupancy dashboards have helped to right-size the office space and to reduce Hypoport's costs. As data confirmed a low average space occupancy, a part of the office was rented out to another company. With Thing-it, Hypoport has successfully established Hybrid work with desk-sharing. The app is Hypoport's digital touchpoint in an agile workplace that is tailored to the needs of its users. Employees book a spot and work how they want, where they want: From creative brainstorming in the living room area to a confidential conversation in the phone booth.
