“There are a lot of conversations coming back post-pandemic, trying to understand how to manage resources, space and people. You have a lot more hybrid working going on. Does hot desking work? Do we implement computer booking?
A lot of the time these meetings currently are based on speculation. Whereas now with Smarthub and the Power BI tool we can start to interrogate the data, providing better answers.”
