Description


essensys is one of the fastest growing global proptech firms moving rapidly into our next stage of hypergrowth. Established in London in 2006, essensys was created to solve the complex operational, everyday challenges for flexible workspaces, the largest growing segment in the commercial office market. 

We believe the office environment of the past is no longer - the staid, the unresponsive and the impersonal – will be replaced with space-as-a-service and tech-oriented environment that has already attracted the world's largest enterprise users. Today, flex workspace accounts for less than 2% of the office space market and current growth estimates could easily reach 30% by 2030. Traditional landlords need to adapt and have already started doing so, especially in light of COVID.  The opportunity is massive. 

In 2019, essensys became a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange and currently has offices in London, NYC, LA and Toronto.  We provide services to over 1,000 buildings across 28 countries.  

 

What We Do

We have built the only private cloud network to service the flexible workspace industry which underpins our SaaS platforms. We simplify the day-to-day management of flexible workspaces and the provisioning of secure wifi, internet and digital infrastructure services to tenants. Our platforms automate key tasks and processes and help flexible workspace providers deliver highly efficient, customer-centric workspace solutions. Our partners include some of the largest landlords and flex operators in the world, as we deliver an end-to-end, scalable solution by leveraging our 15 years of experience and our 100+ team of award-winning developers and engineers.
