compelling reasons to choose flexible spaces versus traditional offices

23 Apr 2020

Find out why, after Covid-19, coworkings are going to be the best allies for companies These days you can read countless articles about how much our lives will change after Covid-19. From the most optimistic who see the light at the end of the tunnel to build a sustainable and respectful world with the planet; to those who predict the end of the world due to an economic and social crisis as never seen before. Beyond predictions and prophecies, what is clear is that this situation has revealed outdated models that are no longer adapted to existing needs. An example of this can be found in workspaces. Traditional office rentals have become obsolete for today's business models. The constant transformation that companies undergo makes it impossible to define the needs they will have in the medium and long term. And the long rental contracts with mandatory clauses of the traditional sector become impediments and limitations for the growth of companies.

Flexible spaces such as Aticco offer the flexibility to adapt to companies, facilitate day-to-day operations and give them added value.

To think that flexible spaces are reserved only for freelancers, remote workers or small structures is to be stuck in the model that was offered ten years ago. Now coworking centers and flexible offices have become fertile ecosystems that help companies grow, whatever their structure, from teams of 2 or 3 people to large companies with more than 500 workers. But how?  

Management of all services

Companies have to be 100% focused on their project. The daily paperwork involved in dealing with suppliers, adjusting prices, following up... consumes energy and above all a lot of time. That is why at Aticco we take care of the management of all services We offer a wide range of necessary services such as high quality internet, printers, space cleaning, facilities maintenance, unlimited water, coffee and tea, package pick up... Our team is distributed throughout the centers to facilitate whatever our coworkers need.   

Flexibility of spaces and conditions

At Aticco companies have the opportunity to regularly decide on the space best suited to the equipment and to your needs. To give an example, we have in our community one of the most important car sharing companies, Ubeeqo Europcar. When they started with us they were very few and had 5 coworking tables. Now they have a whole floor for themselves and a team of more than 160 people. Their needs have been changing, and the space and services have been adapted to that. But not only that, but also the monthly expenses. They have been investing only what the company needed at any given time, without having to rent a huge office when they do not need it, or run out of space when the staff has expanded. And if we talk about conditions, you will agree with us that traditional leasing offers totally abusive contractual conditions. That's why we offer unshielded contracts that allow you to change and modify the conditions of your flex space whenever you need to.   

The monthly cost is lower than in a traditional office.

We often find that when we talk to large companies and tell them that they will save money in a coworking space, their first reaction is always skeptical. But when we show them the comparison between the costs of a traditional office and the monthly costs of a flexible space, they are surprised to see that it is true.  In addition to the cost of the traditional office, there are the bills for utilities such as internet, electricity, water, air conditioning, cleaning of the spaces, bills for consumables such as paper, printing, maintenance of the spaces... The list is endless. And to this we must add the cost for the teams to have to manage each of these procedures themselves. At Aticco we send a single invoice with everything included. We get better prices from suppliers for larger contracts or larger orders for the whole community. And we take care of everything. So it has been proven that monthly expenses in a flexible space are lower than in a traditional office.  

Premium facilities in the best areas of the city

Not only is your monthly billing reduced, but you get more for less. At Aticco we offer spaces with the best facilities to make your day-to-day life and that of your team easy and comfortable.. All our spaces have natural light, large desks, meeting rooms, call booths, private offices for teams that need them, workshop or conference spaces... But they also have gyms, canteens with healthy food offerings, large terraces, event areas and even swimming pools. With these facilities, the concept of workspaces changes completely - who wouldn't want Monday to arrive! 😉  And something very important for companies is the location of their offices. We have 6 centers in the best areas of Barcelona.Urquinaona, Gràcia, Poblenou, 22@, Francesc Macià and Hospitalet. And the next September we will open our first center in Madrid.located in the Salamanca neighborhood. You will be able to surprise your clients when you receive them in your new space.  

The Aticco ecosystem nurtures companies, makes them grow and improves the bond with their employees.

But beyond space, at Aticco we believe it is essential that our community feeds back into our ecosystem. That's why we organize weekly events, training, sports, leisure, workshops... in order to be able to connect and generate opportunities for collaboration and growth. In addition, our experience shows that talent retention improves in the companies that are part of our community, because the team bonding improves exponentially and their commitment to the project as well.    Customized offices The design of spaces is essential to create the best working environment. In addition, each structure has different needs and preferences. That is why we offer customized designs of the spaces, both in the distribution and in the interior design elements. Our architecture department proposes the best space to suit the teams and their needs.
