Why Technology Matters in Mid-Market Workplace Services


For mid-market businesses, scaling efficiently while providing a seamless workplace experience is no small feat. Many struggle to find workplace services that balance affordability, scalability, and innovation. Large providers offer solutions that are either too rigid or too costly, while smaller providers often lack the expertise and technology to meet evolving needs. At First Contact, we’ve designed services tailored specifically for mid-market businesses—solutions that combine people-first principles with cutting-edge technology to help you thrive.

Key Insight: Studies show businesses leveraging workplace technology see productivity gains of up to 20%, alongside improved employee satisfaction and operational efficiency.


The Mid-Market Challenge

Mid-market occupiers face unique hurdles:

  • Scalability Without Overhead: Growing businesses often outgrow traditional workplace solutions, but the cost of scaling with larger providers can be prohibitive.
  • Balancing Cost and Quality: Delivering exceptional employee experiences while managing budgets.
  • Talent Retention: With hybrid work becoming the norm, creating an attractive, tech-enabled workplace is essential for attracting and retaining top talent.

How First Contact Solves These Challenges

1. Affordable Scalability Our modular approach allows mid-market businesses to customize services to fit their immediate needs while leaving room for growth. Whether you need real-time desk booking, visitor management, or facilities coordination, our solutions grow with you.

Example: A Sydney-based tech company with 300 employees reduced unused desk space by 25%, saving thousands annually, with our desk optimization tools.

2. Streamlined Operations with Technology Mid-market businesses require technology that simplifies processes, not adds complexity. That’s why we integrate tools like:

  • Eptura systems for space management.
  • Microsoft Teams integrations for seamless communication.
  • Visitor management systems to enhance security and reduce administrative workload.

Example: One client reduced visitor check-in times by 40%, enhancing the overall experience for employees and guests alike.

3. Enhancing Employee Experience In a competitive talent market, employee experience is key. With tools like hot-desking, hybrid meeting room management, and workplace concierge services, we create environments that empower employees to do their best work.
