NotOnlyDesk is born, the connection interface that allows all agile workers to rent a workspace close to their home, but in more comfortable, safe and designed for professional activities. NotOnlyDesk is the first pass for smart working, which allows each user to reserve their desk when, how and where they want.

During the last three years (2020-2022) the evolution of the pandemic situation has led to significant changes in various areas of our lives, including work. Smart working, although with some initial difficulties from a performance and organisational point of view, has soon proven to be an advantageous solution in terms of saving time and stress, not to mention the environmental advantages deriving from a lower use of the car.

It is in this context that NotOnlyDesk is born, a young and heterogeneous working group (with an average age of 25 years) that proposes itself as a meeting bridge between companies/private individuals who want to reorganise their work structure (no longer with a single office but exploiting multiple locations located in the area) and the owners of unused offices and, therefore, valuable.

NotOnlyDesk therefore wants to revolutionise the agile labour market, creating a connection between the emerging, and increasingly strong, demand of agile workers and the free/coworking offices present in the local territory (Milan), national and global. So that each user (from the individual professional to the business) is given the opportunity to rent one or more desks through the website or the mobile app and, through the subscription of subscriptions for the available facilities, guarantee a position close to home or to their needs.

NotOnlyDesk therefore means transversality, future, competence. And, in a first phase, it intends to address all 2.0 professionals (agile workers, nomads or freelancers, business people and even students) who need to redefine their balance between life and work. To these people NotOnlyDesk offers an alternative; a solution to all those problems (time dedicated to commuting, consumption, increased expenses, presence of unsuitable workstations, dissatisfaction and stress) that the transformations of recent years have made clear.

However, companies and landlords (owners of coworking or vacant spaces) will also benefit from the countless advantages offered by the NotOnlyDesk service.

In a professional panorama characterised by a growing centrality of Smart working, (used by 10% of Italian companies, often in hybrid solutions), NotOnlyDesk in fact offers small, medium and large companies the guarantee of stability and privacy of company servers, the guarantee of policies for accidents at work, lower business expenses, workstations that meets and a certain ease of managing both remote resources and the agile work of their employees.

Landlords, on the other hand, will benefit not only from the possibility of registering for free on NotOnlyDesk, but also from the birth of a new market capable of guaranteeing new life to their business, as well as a considerable increase in earnings (a potential increase in profit of 65% per single workstation has been calculated).

More than 30 coworkings (about 60% of the facilities contacted) have chosen NotOnlyDesk and many cities are helping to create the largest existing coworking. With the aim of creating the largest heterogeneous community of users, spreading our idea throughout the national territory and, in the near future, globally.
