In Extenso cuts reception costs with Bringme’s Digital Reception

Until last year, accountancy firm In Extenso shared an office and reception area with consultancy giant Deloitte, having been part of the same company until 2019. But when they moved to a new office, they faced a few challenges that needed a smart fix. How do you keep your reception running smoothly, professionally, and user-friendly without the cost of a full-time receptionist? In this case study, Stéphanie Thery, Executive Assistant at In Extenso, shares how Bringme helped them solve all their reception problems cost efficiently. 

When the Dutch team of Scandinavian Tobacco Group moved to a new office, the receptionist role was phased out due to insufficient work for a full-time position. Dirk Laarakker, IT service desk employee, shares how the team then sought a solution that could efficiently handle access control, and parcel and visitor management tasks.

When the receptionist role at Techyard phased out, office & event manager Astrid decided to take on the traditional reception tasks herself. However, she soon realised that these repetitive tasks were hindering her workflow. To ensure efficient parcel and visitor management at the reception without wasting time or causing frustrations for employees like Astrid, Techyard opted for Bringme. The Digital Reception was the perfect solution in terms of safety and cost efficiency… without the burden of additional staff.

For its three residential projects in Nijmegen, Bouwfonds Property Development (BPD), a foremost developer in the Netherlands, aimed to set high standards in service, reliability, and user-friendliness. The growing demand from residents for a streamlined parcel management system led Berry Evers, senior developer at BPD, to Bringme. Below, Berry explains why he opted for the Bringme Box and the Digital Concierge.

For HYELM, a not-for-profit landlord providing affordable housing solutions for young people working in London, receiving resident packages was not an option as the team wanted to avoid discussions and issues surrounding liability. Residents had to manage their own deliveries, but this quickly became a real challenge, with packages often left in the entrance hall for everyone to see, leading to theft. Sarah Armstrong, property manager at HYELM, shares how Bringme solved this problem.

How do you make time-consuming IT team logistics processes smoother and more efficient? Hein Rombouts, Service Manager at Royal IHC, discovered the solution with Bringme. Since the delivery of IT material is done centrally via the Bringme Box, there is more time for larger IT initiatives and projects.

The Network and Information Security (NIS 2) Directive, the new directive around cybersecurity, was approved by the European Commission in January 2023. Carya Group, an IT service provider in the automotive sector, uses Bringme’s Digital Reception and approved access control and IT asset management policies to comply with the new guidelines. Indeed, the company’s international growth has meant that there are more and more people and therefore more parcels, assets, and visitors in the workplace. The Digital Reception manages this influx safely and professionally. Evelyn Derycke, chief people officer at Carya Group, explains why Carya Group chose Bringme…

Steven Vanderghote, senior project engineer at Matexi, is leading the development of Antwerp Tower, the city’s largest residential property.

A statement skyscraper of this calibre simply demands a flexible and secure solution. One that blends harmoniously with the building’s overall design. Discover why Matexi selected Bringme as an elegant, efficient and secure parcel solution.
