Case Study: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam boosts collaboration and space efficiency with deskbird

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam boosts desk adoption to over 90% with deskbird

The Athena Institute at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam faced a challenge during a campus relocation, needing to migrate 120 employees into a historic building with significantly less space. This required a shift to desk sharing and raised concerns about team cohesion. The institute turned to deskbird for a desk booking solution to manage their new flexible workspace.

deskbird provided a user-friendly platform with interactive floorplans and a social feed, allowing employees to easily reserve desks and see who was in the office. The implementation led to a cultural transformation with improved collaboration and an adoption rate of over 90%. The solution successfully accommodated all 120 employees with only 65 flex desks, optimizing space usage.
