Elevator Pitch

Problem to solve: Fragmented Procurement.
U.S. companies spend *$14.9B a year outfitting employee desks with six or seven single-purpose devices they each have to source, ship, and replace one at a time.

I am currently in the process of bringing the Workspace Saver™ (patent pending) to market. This product replaces the six or seven gadgets on a desk with one compact, brandable device, so companies can clear the desk, simplify procurement, and cut per-desk costs roughly in half.

Benefits:

  • Cost Savings: the total cost of desk accessories (lamps, staplers, USB charging hubs, etc) per desk is roughly cut in half - $100 instead of ~$200.
  • Simplfied Procurement: the Company is saving time and money when sourcing one device instead of six or seven.
  • Branding: the Workspace Saver can be branded with the Company's logo and is great for hot desking/hoteling scenarios to create the ‘home base’ employees need – also works for SOHO.
  • CDP Compliant: our product supports the Company's Clear Desk Policy by optimizing the desktop, eliminating clutter, and cleaning up the floor plan.
  • Profitability: It has been estimated that the average worker wastes 3.5 weeks per year searching for misplaced items. Studies have shown that an optimized workspace increases productivity, enhances morale, improves mental health, and contributes to profitability.
