How Inderes built a smart office with Framery smart office solutions

Inderes is a Nordic investor media company known for its community-first culture, open communication, and award-winning equity research.

Inderes connects investors and listed companies, providing in-depth research and investor relation solutions to help over 400 listed companies better serve the Nordic investor community. With a media house approach, the team produces content, such as podcasts, webinars, and videos to build a vibrant finance community – making versatile, well-equipped spaces essential to their work.

120 people strong, and with offices in Helsinki and Stockholm, Inderes recently moved into a new open-plan HQ designed to reflect its collaborative values. The single-level space unites the team – but has also introduced new challenges around meeting room availability, space conflicts, and access to privacy.

To avoid a workplace filled with silos, Inderes turned to Framery smart office solutions for everything needed to make their office intuitive, supportive, and easy to manage.

A smart solution for a smarter office

Inderes envisioned a fully connected workplace with integrated tools that would make it easier to navigate, manage, and optimize their new space. And Framery’s combination of room booking solutions and workplace management tools deliver exactly what they were looking for.

• Framery Connect creates a centralized room booking system that provides valuable workplace analytics about space usage.
• Framery Connect Sensors placed in meeting rooms reveal how effectively they are actually used.
• Framery Room Displays outside meeting spaces show real-time availability of each space and make them bookable on-the-spot.
• Framery App helps employees easily find and book spaces from anywhere.
• Framery smart pods provide private, soundproof spaces in their open-plan office.

When planning the move, Inderes explored multiple space management solutions. Framery stood out for its flexible pricing, seamless Microsoft 365 integration, and responsive support team. According to IT Administrator Timo Typpö, “Framery offered the right balance of flexibility, function, and support. It was everything we needed and nothing we didn’t.”

Syncing calendars and connecting spaces with Framery

Framery’s smart office solutions have transformed how Inderes manages its workspaces. All reservations are now synced automatically in their Microsoft 365 calendar system, immediately reflecting continuous changes to space availability throughout the day. 

With all meeting rooms, work spaces, and room displays synced and updated, employees have real-time visibility of available spaces and a streamlined booking experience – whether they choose to book through Microsoft Outlook or the Framery App.

This level of integration reduces confusion, prevents double bookings, and makes every space easy to find and reserve. 

“Calendar integration with Microsoft 365 is key – everything stays synced across Outlook and the Framery App.”

Connecting Inderes through Framery smart office solutions

Implementing Framery’s smart office solutions was a smooth, low-effort process for Inderes. With clear onboarding and hands-on support from the Framery team, setup was fast – and adoption across the company followed quickly. “Framery made the entire process effortless – with fast installation and responsive support from day one,” says Typpö.

The real impact, though, comes in how each solution is used every day. From booking rooms to understanding space usage, Framery smart office solutions have been working hard to bring value to both employees and IT.

Staying in sync with Framery Connect

Framery Connect serves as the backbone of Inderes’ smart office system – ensuring all their spaces stay in sync, reducing scheduling conflicts, and helping people find and book spaces easily.

“Framery Connect shows how much use our spaces get – it’s a great metric to use as we continue to grow.”

Through Framery Connect’s Analytics feature, IT can access anonymous data about usage rates, peak room occupancy, and visit durations – giving the team a better understanding of how their spaces are being used, and helping them to be proactive with their space planning.

Better decisions with Framery Connect Sensor

With 12 Framery Connect Sensors installed throughout their meeting rooms, Inderes now has access to real-time insights about how their spaces are actually being used. These sensors anonymously track occupancy, visit duration, and usage patterns – providing a reliable stream of data to support smarter space management.

For employees, this means more efficient room availability and fewer conflicts. For Office and IT Managers, it’s a valuable tool for identifying underused spaces, and planning future improvements. 

“That kind of data gives us the clarity we need to plan ahead.”

The data enables Inderes to make informed decisions around layout, resource allocation, and potential expansion – ensuring the office remains adaptable and employee-friendly as the company grows.

Booking spaces with the Framery App

For employees at Inderes, Framery App has quickly become a favorite – playing a key role in how the team navigates their workday by offering a quick, intuitive way to check room availability, see their daily calendar, and reserve spaces on the go. The app’s clean design and ease of use have made it quick and easy to onboard the team.

“People love that the Framery App shows their whole calendar for the day. It’s simple, useful, and has become part of how they manage their workflow.”

And with a seamless connection to their Microsoft 365 calendar, every booking made through the app is automatically updated in Outlook and Teams – so employees no longer have to switch between multiple systems to coordinate bookings.

Smarter visibility with Framery Room Display

Five Framery Room Displays installed outside the busiest meeting rooms and studio spaces help employees instantly see which rooms are available and when. With a large, clear display that removes any second-guessing about whether a room is in use.

With a team of over 100 people sharing 10 rooms, this small addition has had a big impact – saving time, reducing confusion, and making it easier for everyone to find the space they need, exactly when they need it. Installed on standard iPads, the interface of Framery Room Display is “noticeably more intuitive” than competitors. 

“The Room Display UI has a super clean design. And installation was a breeze.”

In addition to showing real-time status at a glance, it also welcomes employees to check upcoming schedules for the space, and make a reservation directly on the spot. The simple but effective design prevents awkward interruptions and keeps meetings running smoothly – making the displays a trusted part of the office routine.

Smart solutions for modern offices

By unifying everything under one smart office platform, Inderes created a workspace that’s seamless, intuitive, and helps the office get better every day. For employees, this means less friction and more focus. For IT and management, it means fewer tools to manage and less time spent troubleshooting. 

“Framery’s solution is solid – it’s easy to implement, and easy to use. From an IT perspective, it doesn’t get much smoother than this.”

And as Inderes looks ahead, Framery smart office solutions can be extended to their Stockholm office – bringing the same clarity, structure, and smart functionality to a new location, without starting from scratch.

Resulting in a workplace experience that scales with the business – and works better for everyone.
