Overview
Before the Stone & Chalk team started using OfficeRnD Data Hub the reporting process was laborious, involving data export from OfficeRnD to Excel, followed by further manipulation within spreadsheets and pivot tables to concise the dataset. This proved to be challenging, especially during times of high activity. With the primary focus being on enhancing the members experience, Stone & Chalk’s team members from all roles were often required to shift their attention to community assistance. This left limited time for thorough reporting and reviewing these reports became a challenge. As a result, some data points were inadvertently overlooked, with historical data often being analyzed too late to make timely adjustments.
After the company started using OfficeRnD Data Hub, it became evident that optimizing the utilization of hot desks could lead to improved occupancy rates. This realization led the team to an increased volume of hot desk sales. In the past, the absence of data analysis resulted in making assumptions that may lead to incorrect decisions. By leveraging available data with Data Hub, Stone & Chalk was empowered to make more informed and accurate decisions, avoiding potential missteps.
“Data should be a high-priority aspect for any workspace. It's the only way to truly understand operations, utilization of space, and uncover opportunities for improvement where we may not be performing optimally. We rely on OfficeRnD Data Hub to examine resource usage and strike the right balance of offerings.”
Guil Cunha Challenges that OfficeRnD Data Hub Solved
- With the convenience of accessing live data at their fingertips, generating reports has been easier than ever. The absence of a dedicated data scientist in their team was no longer an issue and consolidating data into Excel spreadsheets has gone into the past.
- OfficeRnD Data Hub offers in-depth insights across multiple dimensions of space operations through regular data reports. Before, due to time constraints and the complexity of generating reports, they often found it challenging to carry out this task.
- OfficeRnD Data Hub delves into the extensive range of data points available within the system, offering a holistic exploration of data from diverse angles. That was very important for the team when making strategic decisions.
