🥐 You use Too Good To Go to reduce your food waste.

👕 You use FJONG or Tise to reduce your clothing consumption.

🚗 You use Hyre or Getaround to share vehicles.

💻 But have you ever stopped to consider the environmental impact of the workspaces we use every day?

The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime according to Andrew Naber, (industrial-organizational psychologist and data scientist). That is roughly 10.2 years. According to one analysis from HuffPost Australia, an average person spends 13 years and 2 months at work.

Yet, a startling fact remains: nearly 50% of all office spaces go unused at any given time. This inefficiency not only adds unnecessary costs but also contributes to resource waste and energy consumption.

At Orbit, we believe it's time to revolutionize the way we utilize workspaces. By optimizing workspace usage, we can reduce our carbon footprint, decrease operational expenses, and foster a more sustainable future.

Imagine a world where office spaces are used to their full potential, where unused desks and meeting rooms become opportunities for collaboration and productivity. By leveraging innovative technology and smart solutions, we can transform how we approach workspace utilization.

Our platform aims to connect organizations and individuals with available workspaces, facilitating efficient sharing and utilization. Whether you're a freelancer looking for a productive environment, a small team in need of a meeting space, or an enterprise seeking flexible workspace options, we've got you covered.

With Orbit, businesses can optimize their office spaces by seamlessly renting out unused areas to those who need them. This not only reduces costs but also promotes community collaboration and fosters a culture of sustainability.


Together, we can make a meaningful difference by:

✨ Reducing real estate footprint: By maximizing the utilization of existing workspaces, we can minimize the need for new construction and limit the environmental impact associated with expanding office spaces.

✨ Cutting energy consumption: Utilizing shared workspaces reduces energy consumption, as fewer spaces need to be heated, cooled, and powered. This translates to a significant reduction in carbon emissions and resource usage.

✨ Encouraging collaboration: By sharing workspaces, professionals from different industries and backgrounds can come together, sparking innovation, and fostering a vibrant community of knowledge sharing and collaboration.

✨ Driving cost savings: Optimal workspace utilization allows organizations to reduce their real estate expenses, redirecting resources towards more meaningful investments and initiatives.

So, let's challenge the status quo and embrace the power of workspace sharing and optimization. Join us and be part of the movement to transform how we use workspaces.

Together, we can create a sustainable future where every inch of office space is utilized efficiently, empowering individuals, businesses, and the environment. 🤝
