Case studies

Three offices became one. A three-day return-to-office policy followed. This packaging company needed a way to make both changes work for the roughly 400 employees showing up on peak days, and elia's desk booking, room booking, and elia Display made that possible.

Desk booking lived in one system, visitor management in another, and billing was handled building by building. elia replaced that patchwork with a single platform across 35 sites, cutting the admin work of running a distributed workplace footprint down to one dashboard and one invoice.

The hybrid policy was already right: a 1:3 desk ratio and a 20% monthly on-site target. What this insurer needed was a way to make that ratio work for the 6,600 people using it. elia's desk booking, kiosks, and occupancy sensors closed that gap.

Remote work had become the default for most of TLM's team. Some employees felt increasingly isolated, and low attendance made office days feel pointless. TLM used elia to give people a reason to plan office days around each other.

In early 2023, Quebecor ran a pilot with elia in 2 Montreal offices. It went well enough to take company-wide. By 2024, elia was live across headquarters and subsidiaries.

When CISSS Chaudière-Appalaches moved into a new administrative office, it had 66 desks and 90 employees assigned. Occupancy sensors showed the space could support more.

Eddyfi grew fast through acquisitions. As a result, the adoption on the existing booking platform had stalled and the team needed a replacement. They switched to elia in days.

ROBIC moved to unassigned seating and needed booking that could handle both open workstations and restricted spaces for legal work. They deployed elia in 2023 across both offices.

Globco's team was growing and the offices in Lévis and Laval were getting tight. They moved to shared desks and needed a booking tool that worked across both locations. elia was up and running in a few days.

Gestion FÉRIQUE moved to hybrid work and ran into a familiar problem: employees came into the office without knowing if their colleagues would be there. With elia, they can see who's coming in, pick a desk that suits what they're working on, and actually plan office days around each other.

When 3 accounting firms merged in 2022, Coeficia built a brand-new office from scratch and designed it around a hybrid model from day one. Fewer assigned desks, more private rooms, and desk booking so staff could reserve a spot before coming in. The office now runs at full capacity.
