BPD sets itself apart from competitors with Bringme's Digital Concierge

In verdant Heverlee, just past the Arenberg Campus, you'll find Limel. The Leuven Institute for Media and Learning, KU Leuven's video producer. However, up until a short while ago, there was one pressing issue: the lending service's limited opening hours. Ever since the Bringme Box was put in place, opening hours have increased no less than six-fold. We talked to Bert Driessens and Maarten Timmermans about increasing efficiency at Limel.

In vibrant East London lies a very special multi-tenant. The giant Here East campus covers a whopping 1.2 million(!) square metres and was built as a media centre for the Olympic Games in 2012. The site has since been repurposed as a hotbed of innovation and creativity. It 'just so happens' that a Bringme Box can also be found there recently; we went by.

During the past few years, we've unfortunately had to face up to the fact that the world often isn't a very safe place. That's why, more than ever, safety is a top priority for many large cities. Including London, where safety measures were cranked up to never-seen-before levels after the attacks in 2005. Everyone is constantly on the lookout for ways of making and keeping buildings as safe as possible. One of the ways to achieve that is making the switch to centralized and supervised parcel processing. In London, we spoke to Bevan Vollenhoven, building manager of Telephone House, about how his choice of Bringme fits in with the current situation.

Rotterdam: one of the ten largest ports in the world. A place for international trade, but also a meeting place. Thanks to this climate, it has grown into the smartest port in the world. After all, the port area offers the ideal conditions for entrepreneurs, startups and innovative multinationals. One of the initiatives that is responding successfully to this development is the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship.

The KU Leuven is one of the oldest universities in Europe. But that doesn’t mean it’s out-dated, as last year’s decision to allow all 40,000 students to use Bringme proves. Great move! We’re wondering how the students have found their first few Bringme weeks, so we head off to the learning centre Agora, where there’s a Bringme Box, and more than 10,000 students passing by every month.

Tucked away in the greenery in Kortrijk lies a brilliant feat of architecture: the Barco One Campus. Barco was founded in 1934, but in the past few decades it has become a leading worldwide player in the world of high-tech. Passion for innovation is at the heart of the company's policies. And yet, with Sabine Bouckaert, Program Manager of the Barco One Campus, we mainly talked about ... people.
