The first impression for any Business Centre would be its location & its connectivity which is vital for many businesses, accommodating clients on-site; as well as corporate offices serving as a visible representation of the companys’ success. So when it comes to the location of your business or corporate office, a comprehensive review of the potential location will certainly prove time well spent.

Some of the things that should be considered include the location and its overall desirability, as well as the accessibility from highways, airport and public mass transit connectivity for its employees and customers.

Not only does your business in the right location enjoy excellent corporate presentation with the address, it also benefits from the exposure offered by neighbouring businesses and their clientele. The types of amenities and services provided at a particular business centre are also crucial factors. Among the amenities and on-site services that enhance the value of a centre include a 24-hour on-site security, adequate parking, and/or food service such as an onsite cafeteria etc.

For a Clients’ requirement and the Business Centre location to meet those requirements depend on the type of businesses, goods or services sold, and the target market. Factors that influence in choosing a business centre establishment might be local traffic patterns, demographics, parking space, proximity to CBD, and the type of neighbouring businesses and institutions. All these aspects are to be considered by a business centre by outlining its needs, both present and future, during the search for a location, that in-turn best suits their own & a prospective clients’ generic business needs and desired image.

At a serviced office, the primary offering of a plug-and-play office that is immediately available for use is ultimately the primary driver that draws our clients to us. The ancillary Business services essentially wrap around the core services and determine the completeness and attractiveness of the offering.

Whilst the facility remains a shared one, it is the seating configuration that dictates how tailor-made the office solution is for a particular business. We realise that every business caters to different client segments, operates with different values and are at different stages of growth and therefore require unique seating configurations to match these needs.

Across our locations, there are different seating layouts for teams of all sizes, thereby making it possible to segment the employee base according to your business function. There should be a difference in seating configuration to cater the executive seating with that of other seating arrangements based on the mode of operations that an employee needs at workspace.

We have premium cabins designed especially to meet the needs of an executive with one private office with large window and a C shaped workstation with visitors seating arrangements. We have Cabins with multiple linear shaped seating for over and above 10 employees with an adjacent manager cabin – this configuration can be best suit for medium to larger businesses. There are cabins with L-shaped seating workstations to meet medium businesses best suit for 5 or 6 employees. There are individual cabins with linear seating with 3 to 4 workstations to meet smaller businesses or start-ups, these cabins can also be combined for larger businesses.

We are continuously understanding our clients businesses and incorporating our learnings in to every new centre that we are opening. Our newest centre at R-tech Park in Mumbai offers a variety of seating configuration which can cater to a spectrum of industries.

The benefit of working out of a serviced office is so that there are no administrative troubles to worry about. Every centre has a team equipped to deal with the variety of issues that crop up that could be a hindrance to your work. To enhance this level of support, we are introducing a self-service portal that will allow our clients to log cases that require our attention.

This portal allows our clients to log cases while sitting at their desk and will provide real-time updates on the cases as we are working on them until they are closed. It provides our clients with the information of the concerned person on our team handling the issue, the expected resolve time and also a notification when the issue is closed. Clients can also view the earlier cases that have been closed. A secure login ID is created for each person to ensure that privacy is not compromised on.

With a focus on accountability and transparency, this system will enhance the efficiency and service quality that our clients experience at our locations. The portal is now on our website and accessible by our clients at anytime from anywhere in the world.

This is a first for serviced offices and we are confident that this serves as a testimony to our emphasis on service standards.
