Office Supplies for Coworking Spaces and Business Centers: Efficiently Supplying Flexible Workspaces and Common Areas

Fluctuating utilization requires fixed standards, flexible reserves, and clearly separated supply areas.

In short

Workplaces, meeting rooms, reception, kitchen, and sanitary facilities should each have their own standards and inspection cycles. A basic stock is supplemented by a flexible reserve for events and high utilization.

Five Supply Areas

  • Workspaces: Pens, notebooks, cable management, and cleaning.
  • Meeting Rooms: Markers, flipchart paper, moderation, and catering.
  • Reception: Shipping, filing, paper, and toner.
  • Kitchen: Coffee, tea, napkins, and cleaning supplies.
  • Sanitary Facilities: Soap, paper products, and trash bags.

Simple Reordering Process

  • Appoint responsible persons for each area
  • Define standard articles
  • Determine basic and safety stock
  • Compare consumption with utilization
