In today’s fast-paced world, our lives have been reshaped by on-demand services, from the way we travel to how we enjoy music. The workplace, too, is not immune to this transformative wave.
Imagine a workspace where furniture seamlessly aligns with your organization’s ever-evolving needs, where decisions are immediate, yet not etched in stone. CORT Furniture Rental, in collaboration with Boston-based coworking operator Workbar, is leading the charge in this transformative journey, and their latest video perfectly encapsulates the power of on-demand furniture solutions and flexibility.
The On-Demand Revolution in Modern Workspaces
Melanie Jones, National Director of CRE Partnerships for CORT, eloquently sets the stage for this paradigm shift by drawing parallels with revolutionary platforms like Uber and Spotify. She notes that we live in an on-demand world, and the CORT Furniture-as-a-Service™ (FaaS) offering mirrors this shift by bringing the same experience to the workplace. It’s a concept that embraces the essence of modern workspaces and how the shift from ownership of office furniture to access redefines the very essence of how we perceive office spaces. Making them more agile and adaptable to the ever-changing needs of businesses across various industries.
Empowering Immediate Strategies
As Director of CORT’s Strategic Business Development team, Todd Simpson’s view of on-demand furniture solutions emphasizes the tremendous benefits of ‘Furniture as a Service.’ In the video, he expressed, that this unique approach empowers companies to execute immediate strategies without locking themselves into permanent, long-term furniture decisions. It’s a game-changer because allows businesses to adapt swiftly, ensuring they are always one step ahead in the ever-evolving corporate landscape.
Seamless Transition, Effortless Transformation
Workbar, with its 11 locations strategically spread throughout Greater Boston, stands out as a pioneer in the coworking space. What truly distinguishes the Workbar model is the way it provides choice to its members. Firstly, it offers choice through the physical spaces it provides. These spaces are primarily open, creating an inclusive and highly productive environment for all members. Secondly, it offers choice through location. Workbar’s locations span both city and suburban markets, allowing members the flexibility to choose where they work throughout the day. This unique approach ensures that Workbar members have the freedom to accomplish their work in an environment that best suits their needs.
However, one significant challenge faced by coworking operators like Workbar is furniture management. This is where the partnership with CORT makes a difference. As noted by Sarah Travers, CEO of Workbar, CORT has successfully shifted the burden of furniture expenses from a Capital Expenditure (CapEx) to an Operational Expenditure (OpEx). This transition to on-demand furniture solutions is a testament to modern thinking, where flexibility and adaptability are paramount.
CORT’s ‘Furniture as a Service’ offering perfectly complements the ethos of Workbar. It allows Workbar to provide its members with top-notch, on-demand furniture solutions without the need for long-term, permanent investments.

It empowers Workbar to adapt swiftly to evolving requirements, aligning seamlessly with the ever-changing demands of the modern workplace.
