\nDecember 2020 – JustCo<\/a>, Asia-Pacific’s leading co-working company, today launched its
\nDigital Future of Work Platform at an event officiated by Singapore’s Minister for
\nTrade and Industry Mr. Chan Chun Sing. JustCo’s new platform uses digital
\ntechnology to enable users to decide where and how to work, depending on each
\nindividual’s unique needs. Diverse workspace options such as hub-and-spoke
\noffices, flexible workspaces and remote work booths can now be combined with the
\nhome office and other workspace solutions to enable solo work or team
\ncollaboration to happen seamlessly.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/Images\/Thumb\/500x0\/112267\/JustCo-launch-Min-CCS-and-WS.jpg#image-112267\")
<\/p>\n
\ninnovations powering JustCo’s digital platform are:<\/p>\n
\nworld’s first workspace on-demand app<\/i><\/b>. Switch connects users and
\nproviders of workspace flexibly and dynamically. Users pay by the minute for
\nthe space that they use, with introductory pricing starting at just S$3.60 per
\nhour. Switch customers can choose between accessing JustCo centres, non-JustCo shared
\noffice locations, or proprietary Switch booths, based on their needs. 60 Switch
\nbooths have already been deployed at JustCo’s centres and at nine[2]<\/a> Frasers Property malls,
\nwith both CBD and fringe locations covered. Customer adoption rates have been overwhelming,
\nparticularly in suburban locations where users want an alternative to working
\nfrom home. Plans are underway to introduce more Switch booths in Singapore and
\nacross the region in cities that JustCo has presence in.<\/p>\n
\nsensors to analyze how space is being used. <\/i><\/b>The use cases for SixSense include workspace
\ndesign, space-use optimisation analysis and, importantly, crowdedness monitoring
\nfor safe distancing purposes. SixSense has been put into service at 10 Justco centres across Singapore with the
\nfollowing immediate benefits:<\/p>\n\n
\ncentres’ users now have real-time information on centre density and crowdedness
\nat their offices. By combining this information with JustCo’s flexible office
\noptions (including Switch), users can avoid crowded locations and pick work
\nspaces that best suit their needs.<\/li>\n
\nteams are now assisted by SixSense in their monitoring of safe-distancing compliance
\nand other centre operations matters.<\/li>\n
\ndesign team can now use information collected through SixSense to continuously improve
\noffice design and construction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\ntools to be added to JustCo’s digital platform, will transform how companies
\nand workers access office space. By giving users the ultimate flexibility to
\nchoose where and how to work, office space can now be consumed as an on-demand
\nservice.<\/p>\n
\nFounder and CEO of JustCo, added: “When the pandemic struck, many of us were
\nforced into the unknown and untried world of working from home. It worked well
\nfor some, but terribly for others. We quickly realized that what workers needed
\nwas the power and digital tools to decide where and how to work. JustCo’s Digital
\nFuture of Work Platform is our answer to that problem. Fixed and rigid offices have
\nrun their course. The future belongs to flexible and on-demand workspaces.”<\/p>\n
\nwas held at JustCo’s newest co-working location at Singapore’s The Centrepoint
\nshopping mall. JustCo Centrepoint houses the company’s global headquarters and
\nis also the firm’s first “Smart Centre.” Technology features in this centre
