How it works?

L1 – Low Complexity

Self-service access to office essentials, zero reception or admin involvement

In office buildings, a surprising amount of time is spent on small but frequent tasks: handing out office supplies, printer ink, snacks, uniforms, umbrellas, or shared assets. These actions interrupt reception, office managers, or facilities teams without adding business value.

 

This category of solutions enables controlled self-service access to basic office items, allowing employees to retrieve what they need independently. Core office workflows remain unchanged, but interruptions are reduced and access can be extended beyond standard office hours. Deployment is fast and low risk.

 

This level is especially useful for corporate offices, business parks, and campuses looking for immediate operational relief or a first step toward automation.

What it solves for the business

How it works (simple explanation)

Employees access smart lockers using a badge, QR code, or internal credentials. User and item log each pickup. No active dispensing or mechanical movement is involved.

Lower admin workload

Faster access to essentials for employees

Minimal CAPEX and fastest deployment

Example solutions

Efficiency Calculation

In corporate environments, admin and facilities teams repeatedly interrupt core work to hand out supplies and manage small requests.

A conservative operational baseline:

~40

pickups/ day

~3

minutes manual handling per tinteraction

~0.17 FTE

per solution/ per location

What this means in practice: Each unit removes a constant background workload from office admins, equivalent to a permanent part-time role.

L2 – Medium Complexity

Automated dispensing of beverages and shared consumables

As offices grow, staff time is increasingly spent managing beverages and shared consumables: hydration stations, tea concentrates, electrolyte mixes, or team refreshment points. These tasks scale poorly and require ongoing attention.

 

This category introduces active dispensing modules that automate preparation, portioning, and availability of drinks and consumables.

 

This level is ideal for medium to large offices, campuses, and shared workspaces.

What it solves for the business

How it works

Drinks and consumables are dispensed automatically through active modules with level detection and refill alerts. Usage is logged for optimisation.

Partial replacement of facilities support workload

Better resource utilisation

Improved employee experience

Efficiency Calculation

Facilities teams frequently manage beverage stations throughout the day.

 

A conservative operational baseline:

~60

~0.35–0.4 FTE

per module

What this means in practice: Each module replaces a significant portion of facilities or office-support workload related to refreshments.

L3 – High Complexity

Automating structured office services and workflows

Many corporate workflows are structured, repetitive, and admin-heavy: reception check-in, pantry operations, office supplies retail, internal vending, coffee bars, IT accessories distribution, benefits redemption, and secure document pickup.

 

This category automates entire office service workflows, reducing reliance on manual execution while maintaining security and traceability.

What it solves for the business

How it works

Multiple components (identity validation, dispensing, logging, billing) are orchestrated into an end-to-end automated workflow.

Replacement of full-time admin or support roles

Faster service for employees and visitors

Predictable operating costs

Efficiency Calculation

Structured office services require consistent admin time per interaction.

A conservative operational baseline:

 

~70

workflows/ day

~10

minutes manual handling per workflow

~250

operating days/year

Typical business impact

~2,920

manual hours/year

~1,860h

~0.9-1.0 FTE

per solution

What this means in practice: One system replaces approximately one full-time admin or office-support role, while improving service consistency.

L4 – Very High Complexity

Autonomous office service zones

Large offices and corporate campuses operate multiple service areas: pantries, meeting rooms, printing and shipping, and wellness spaces. Staffing each zone continuously is inefficient and limits scalability.

 

This category enables entire office service zones to operate autonomously, independent of time of day or staff availability.

What it solves for the business

How it works

Multiple automated systems are integrated into a single coordinated zone, sharing access control, inventory logic, and reporting.

Replacement of small on-site service teams

Extended service hours at fixed cost

Better utilisation of office space

Efficiency Calculation

Office service zones typically require permanent staffing even with fluctuating usage.

A conservative operational baseline:

~120 interactions/day
~8 minutes manual handling per interaction
~250 operating days/year

This results in ~4,000 manual hours/year.

With ~85% operational coverage and ~90% adoption, the zone eliminates ~3,060 hours/year, equivalent to ~1.5 FTE per zone.

What this means in practice: Each autonomous zone replaces a dedicated office-support team, while keeping services continuously available.

L5 – Extra High Complexity

Use case: Autonomous corporate service networks across buildings and campuses

At the highest maturity, automation replaces routine office-support functions across entire corporate portfolios: office supplies, visitor experience, employee convenience, and internal retail services.

This category enables centrally orchestrated autonomous corporate service networks to operate across multiple buildings, campuses, or cities.

What it solves for the business

How it works

Multiple autonomous stores, lockers, and zones are managed under a single orchestration layer, integrating with corporate identity systems, billing, and reporting.

Replacement of routine office-support teams

Chain-wide scalability

Strong TCO improvement

Linear scalability across locations

Efficiency Calculation

Operating staffed office services across a corporate building requires continuous admin and facilities coverage.

A conservative per-building baseline:

~220 routine office-service operations/day
~6 minutes manual handling per operation
~250 operating days/year

This results in ~5,500 manual hours/year.

With ~85% operational coverage and ~90% adoption, the system eliminates ~4,200 hours/year, equivalent to ~2.1 FTE per building.

Across campuses, this scales linearly.

~400

What this means in practice: These solutions replace entire layers of routine office-support staffing, enabling companies to scale offices without proportional increases in headcount.
