Why Sparkasse uses shared desks
Is it possible to implement hybrid office concepts in the banking industry? Sparkasse Oberpfalz Nord proves that mobile working not only operates superbly but is also economically beneficial.


Using office spaces more efficiently
As numerous desks remained unoccupied because employees could work from home, the Sparkasse completely reimagined its office concept. Rather than having fixed workstations, employees share desks as required.
No renovations were needed; the spaces are simply managed differently using workplace management software. Various departments are allocated zones or areas within the office, where team members book their desks for the days they visit the branch.
"Thanks to desk.ly, we can consolidate and close underutilised offices, enabling us to save on electricity and heating costs. With desk sharing, we are now able to do without an entire floor and rent it out externally."

Office space reduced
By employing workplace management software, an unforeseen benefit arose: booking statistics enabled a reduction in office space and expenses. This was especially advantageous during the energy crisis. Consequently, the bank could close off individual offices or entire floors, thereby saving on heating and energy costs in areas not in use.
These features were particularly important to the Sparkasse
Sparkasse Oberpfalz Nord uses desk.ly to manage their offices and coordinate attendance. They chose desk.ly for the following reasons:
- The range of features was convincing without being overwhelming
- The good value for money
- The software was well received by the staff due to its ease of use
- The application is quick to implement and easy to manage
- Booking periods can be customised—ideal for part-time staff
