Case Study: Nextlane boosts office attendance and avoids overcrowding with deskbird

Nextlane fits 85 people into 37 desks with deskbird

Nextlane, a European automotive software leader, faced the challenge of transitioning to a hybrid work model after downsizing its French office from five floors to just one. With a policy requiring employees to be on-site two days a week, their previous method of using a spreadsheet for desk booking was unreliable and created uncertainty, risking overcrowding in the new, smaller space. They needed a solution from a vendor like deskbird to bring people back with the guarantee of a desk.

deskbird provided its desk booking solution, which features an interactive floor plan showing who is booked in and where. This allowed Nextlane employees to easily see who would be on site and choose desks next to colleagues, which became a key motivator for coming in. The implementation by deskbird resulted in higher attendance, no instances of overcrowding despite having 85 people sharing 37 desks, and provided trusted occupancy data to inform space planning decisions.
