How emerchantpay Optimized Workplace Management with Desk Buddy

It provides businesses with advanced, secure and tailored payment solutions, enabling seamless transactions across multiple industries and geographies. With cutting-edge technology and a customer-centric approach, emerchantpay empowers businesses to design seamless and engaging payment experiences for their consumers. 

With a dynamic and fast-growing team in their Bulgarian office, they needed a flexible and reliable workplace management platform to accommodate their hybrid workforce. 

Before implementing Desk Buddy, emerchantpay faced challenges related to workplace management such as: 

• Manual reservation processes – Booking desks, meeting rooms and parking spots were time-consuming and prone to scheduling conflicts.
• Limited visibility – It was difficult to track availability and optimize resource allocation efficiently.
• Coordination difficulties – Managing space for a hybrid workforce required better coordination to ensure optimal office experience.   

As the company expanded and the team grew in size, it became evident that a more intuitive, responsive and scalable solution was necessary to streamline workplace operations. 

The Solution: Why Desk Buddy? 

emerchantpay collaborated with Proxiad SEE to explore Desk Buddy, a comprehensive workplace management platform designed to enhance hybrid office operations. After receiving a demo environment, they were impressed by: 

✅ User-Friendly UX – The intuitive interface would make a forthcoming transition seamless. 
✅ Faster System Performance – Desk Buddy operated smoothly without delays. 
✅ Reliable Customer Support – Proxiad SEE would provide dedicated support, ensuring a hassle-free onboarding experience. 
✅ Custom Development Capabilities – The flexibility to tailor features according to emerchantpay’s needs. 

In April 2023, emerchantpay adopted Desk Buddy, fully integrating it into their Office 365 ecosystem using SSO (Single-Sign-On) authentication. 

“Desk Buddy has become an essential part of our workplace, making it easier for our team to collaborate and stay connected in the office. It helps us further streamline our workspace, ensuring everything runs smoothly.”
