Switch For A Superior Experience:
Spica vs HqO for Connectivity
While HQO excels in connectivity through its marketplace feature, integrating seamlessly with various partners, it also harbours weaknesses. The user experience (UX) and customer support may pose challenges, along with connectivity issues when third-party services and resource management come into play. Additionally, implementation with HqO may take more time.
In contrast, Spica adopts a comprehensive approach by building everything in-house and facilitating client integration processes, notably through M365 integration.
Holistic Workplace Experience
Our GemEx App and GemEx Engine Platform provide a comprehensive experience that connects employees with building insights, the company culture, and each other.
Comprehensive Integration - We build everything in-house
Unlike HqO’s marketplace feature, we ensure seamless integration through M365, eliminating the challenges associated with third-party dependencies.
Value-Oriented Workplace Solutions
Spica provides a budget-friendly alternative without compromising on features. Our commitment is to deliver enhanced value, making the switch from HqO a strategic move for your organisation.

How can we better understand and utilise our office space more efficiently?

Our GemEx Platform enable remote monitoring and management capabilities. Managers can track real-time data on space utilisation, environmental conditions, and resource availability. This remote access and monitoring facilitate proactive management, allowing adjustments or interventions as needed without physical presence.
How can we improve the workspace to enhance employee productivity and satisfaction?
Use insights derived from our GemEx Platform to create employee-centric spaces. Design workspaces that enhance employee productivity, collaboration, and well-being, ultimately leading to a more positive employee experience.
