This new location will provide East of Exe and its sister company West of Exe with hot-desking workspace for their sales and lettings teams. 

Ian Garcia, founder and director, said: "The East of Exe family has grown over the past eight years and so has our offering to our customers. This is the perfect time for the Exeter office to move and to change the dynamic of how we operate as a company.

 

"We love being in the heart of Exeter, so keeping a central location was essential. We’re excited about moving; the new space oozes character with its Georgian façade, while inside the offices the space is spacious and welcoming.

 

"Having this hot-desking space will mean our team can work more flexibly to suit customers’ needs and we can offer an enhanced service to both new and existing customers."

 

Stuart Hoddinott, owner of Offices at Number1 said: "We are really pleased to have East of Exe as our first tenants in this amazing new office space in the centre of Exeter. We already feel they are part of our family and look forward to growing with them in the future."

 

______________

 

 

Hot-desking spaces are most effective for companies with mobile employees, where not everyone in is the office at the same time. This is common in sales teams, particularly in an area like property sales where staff are in and out showing potential customers around houses. 

 

It is difficult to accurately record attendance in this kind of environment using traditional methods such as paper timesheets or smart-card clocking machines. A static clocking machine can’t accurately record working time out of the office, and a paper timesheet is particularly open to fraud or simple errors with staff entering incorrect hours. 

 

Our solution is the Self Service Module. This is an app which allows users access from a browser or their mobile phone. Using this, employees can not only clock in and out from anywhere with internet access, but they can also clock on and off from individual jobs. They can request holiday leave, review and update their personal details and many more features. Supervisors can authorise (or deny) these requests and changes, and run clocking reports on their team. 

 

If your employees use the mobile version of the app, you can view your employees’ locations at the time of remote clocking, thanks to GPS positioning. You can display these locations and plot them on a map. If the area where your staff is heading has bad signal, there’s no need to worry. The app will cache their clocking data on the mobile phone/tablet, awaiting a better connection.
