Case Study: BLANKSPACES achieves 93% reduction in purchasing time and seamless location expansion with Order.co

How BLANKSPACES enabled super-simple location expansion and tapped into a powerful vendor network with Order

BLANKSPACES, Southern California’s first coworking space with five locations, faced a chaotic, unscalable purchasing process as it expanded—each site used different credit cards, vendor lists, and ordering tools, making it hard to track who ordered what. To fix this, BLANKSPACES partnered with Order.co and adopted its end-to-end purchasing platform to standardize ordering, spend tracking, and vendor management.

Order.co implemented a one-stop purchasing system that centralized carts, accounts, and payment, automated vendor relationships, and handled sourcing and price-checking. The change delivered measurable impact: 13 vendors automated, 93% purchasing time saved, and 100% line-level spend visibility; opening a new location became one order/one card and only five minutes to set up, reducing procurement time and cost.
