Challenges

Axalta faced significant challenges in managing its office space efficiently, prompting a key question: “How do we make all of our space available to our employees at any time?”

 

By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of modern workplace dynamics, Kadence delivered a comprehensive set of tools that transformed Axalta’s office space management.

 

  • Downsized new office: Moving to a new office half the size of their previous location, Axalta needed a solution to fairly allocate limited desks, meeting rooms, and private offices among employees.
  • Increased Office Attendance: With more employees returning to the office, finding suitable workspace became a challenge, creating a pressing need for efficient space management.
  • Booking Confusion: The existing system treated private offices and meeting rooms interchangeably, leading to frequent room booking conflicts and confusion. Kadence’s platform enabled clear distinctions, eliminating this source of frustration.
“Kadence can roll with the punches and come up with the smart solutions we need to make hybrid work for everyone.”
Results

Kadence has been a game-changer for Axalta over the past two years. When Axalta moved to an office half the size of their previous one, Kadence stepped in to ensure seamless operations. Their smart booking system maximized the efficiency of the reduced space, boosting productivity through a streamlined booking process that supported team needs and delivered measurable results:

 

  • 6,288+ total bookings made
  • Over 70% user adoption rate
  • Implemented team days (Tues & Thurs) with occupancy reaching 40%
