What is Seat Leasing as a Service (SLaaS)?
Seat Leasing as a Service (SLaaS) is a business model in which a company leases office space and equipment like workstations or chairs. If a corporation is hesitant or unable to make a large investment in a new office site, NEARSOL’s seat leasing service may just be their most feasible solution.
In essence, your firm leases a fully furnished office space.
Seat leasing services in BPO may be classified into two types: cold seats and warm seats. Cold seat rental covers a range of office necessities like computers, internet connection, furniture, and other amenities. Warm seats, on the other hand, need extra workers to carry out other responsibilities such as administrative, human resource management, and accounting. NEARSOL can provide both types.
NEARSOL’s clientele includes business process outsourcing firms. We are the BPO for BPOs.
SLaaS is quickly becoming the preferred business solution throughout the globe thanks to its many advantages and benefits. This approach is less costly than renting office space since clients pay monthly for a whole package that includes completely equipped office space, relevant software and hardware, and trained agents.
The SLaaS business model has enabled a substantial number of NEARSOL customers to extend their businesses abroad without making major investments in conventional infrastructure.
NEARSOL’s Seat leasing as a service (SLaaS) helps keep your costs associated with building a new facility altogether LOW – by providing fully functioning, complete spaces on demand.
This allows you to scale up or down based on your demands in a cutting-edge facility while maintaining complete operational control.
What kind of business activity can Seat Leasing support?
ONLINE SHOPPING – The Philippines has embraced online shopping via popular platforms like Lazada and Shopee. One critical factor influencing the development and success of these platforms is the presence of a centralized and well-structured workforce that can easily scale up or down as needed, without requiring extensive training or significant investments in physical infrastructure for tasks such as marketing items, responding to customer inquiries, managing orders, and tracking them, among others.
BPOs – The rise of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) businesses that cater primarily to the needs of other BPO firms is a phenomenon that often astounds observers. Its growth continues to be exponential due to its inherent simplicity of entry. To successfully communicate with customers and service a growing base, many critical components are necessary, including a solid internet connection, competent workers, a comprehensive data security system, and the ability to grow (or contract) in a snap. With Seat Leasing as a business model, many BPOs may quickly expand their operations without having to train or invest in new equipment. (Even BPOs need their own BPOs for flexibility and agility.)
VIRTUAL ASSISTANCE TEAMS – Customers who utilize the service of virtual assistants prefer teams with “real” office spaces. It’s all about security, stability, and confidence that there is an actual “infrastructure” that can provide backup internet and data security. Furthermore, most customers want a distinct “address” and personnel to whom they may direct queries or problems. In this case, a seat leasing agreement seems to be the most suitable choice. Seat leasing enables company owners to meet demand and capacity requirements by renting equipment or employing a whole crew.
LOGISTICS – The word “logistics” originally referred to the procurement, storage, and transportation of military equipment and supplies. The word is increasingly often used in business to describe how resources are managed and communicated along the supply chain, notably by manufacturers. Tracking, monitoring, and responding to order inquiries are critical duties that are best accomplished via a centralized system. NEARSOL’s SLaaS enables organizations to scale up or down in response to demand fluctuations. A seat leasing option allows you to adjust quickly.
The list above is, of course, just a tiny sampling of companies that have employed seat leasing services provided by respectable business process outsourcing (BPO) providers in the Philippines.
- NEARSOL may supply temporary space for enterprises that need to start operations while they establish their headquarters (swing space). Swing spaces are temporary office spaces that businesses (or even teams) may occupy while their permanent location is being constructed or remodeled. If your firm is expanding, relocating, resizing, remodeling, or coping with water or flood damage, a NEARSOL swing space may meet your needs.
- Clients at NEARSOL may anticipate a specialized greeting area, private production space, training rooms, office spaces, huddle rooms, a designated recruiting area, a canteen, conference rooms, data centers, and even KTV or pool rooms.
- NEARSOL provides hub and spoke spaces, allowing customers to find agents who operate nearby.
- Clients are highly supported if they choose a mixed workplace. With the bulk of their agents working from home, “hub and spoke” customers may set up modest offices around the countryside where agents can work from home or close by.
Furthermore, with the work culture and senior management encouraging an HR and technology-forward strategy, NEARSOL no longer employs the old arrangement of full floor takers. Depending on the client’s needs, the office space may be divided and designed as required.
With the SLaaS option, NEARSOL can provide fully working workstations, including hardware and an IT staff to serve our customers 24/7 at a low cost (other suppliers are more costly). Our premises are particularly created to accommodate expanding businesses—fully equipped with training space and interview rooms.
NEARSOL’s SLaaS provides far more flexible terms than the typical five-year minimum lease.
No other BPO can match its agility in terms of support personnel, building management, IT support, and cleaning.
Furthermore, rather than requiring a few months’ notice, NEARSOL allows customers to schedule their start dates with just a few days or weeks’ notice.
IT equipment, PCs, and data center equipment with strong data security are configured to meet the client’s specifications. The white glove element of this service comprises extensive design and branding tailored to customer specifications.
With your firm focused on outperforming the competition, office space should be the least of your concerns.
