Office Shifts- a joint venture by Wipro and Mapiq

Amid the pandemic and non ending lockdown, Wipro Lighting in association with Mapiq, a Netherlands based company, has launched Office Shifts, smart office technology software. This software is designed to enable flexibility and maximize the utilization of office space for employees in a post-COVID-19 world.

Anuj Dhir, Vice President & Business Head, Wipro Lighting says, Office shifts ensures employee safety and productivity.

“Fundamental changes to the way Organizations function and large office complexes operate has necessitated a complete rethink. Everyone has the safety and security of people as their top priority. Social distancing, sanitizing, and restrictions on meetings & gatherings necessitate a newer and efficient manner of functioning. This is where Mapiq’s Office Shifts technology is useful. It ensures both employee safety and productivity,” says Dhir.

The software can be scaled and upgraded depending on the policy changes organizations need to make due to local government directives. The new norm of social distancing, in most of the offices, the average staff will be about 43%.

Organizations need to align schedules and working patterns of employees and their teams. Going back to the office not only raises safety concerns and productivity of the employees, but about the area they can accommodate to work from, also conducting meetings etc. Keeping employees informed real-time and ensuring they are evenly spread in the office is essential.

Subscription based model, says Ramakrishna Puranam, Senior General Manager – Sales, Wipro Lighting

“With this technology organizing teams together, anticipating and updating office capacity quickly, is simply hassle-free. The software is available as a subscription-based model built on SaaS (Software as a Service) model. Customers can pay either as per building, per month or per building, per year model. This makes it less capital intensive and easy to afford.”

Although the maximum number of staff in a specific organisation is not necessary,  but the minimum can’t be less than 100 employees for the software to run easily.
