Pioneering spirit in the office

Aligned with the company value of pioneering spirit, edding AG is always in pursuit of new, more efficient solutions, even amidst the pandemic. In response to social distancing measures, edding implemented home working and desk sharing at the start of 2021.

Over time, this approach unveiled considerable savings potential. With the changed office usage, edding was able to temporarily shut down four buildings in 2022, thus reducing energy costs.

"Introducing desk.ly was a real game-changer for our workday—especially the powerful features and intuitive interface make all the difference."

Office attendance and booking stats at a glance

edding saves office space by needing fewer workstations than employees at their two main locations. To keep things running smoothly, they organise their office days using the cloud-based solution desk.ly. These key features make a real difference in how they manage their workspace:

  • The intuitive booking process
  • The "Who's in the Office?" feature and kiosk mode, which show who is seated where, facilitate teamwork
  • The ability to select which days you usually go to the office and receive booking suggestions for those days

"Currently, nearly 300 employees across two locations are using desk.ly — and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive!"
