🖥️ Yardi acquires both Deskpass and Hubble
Yardi has officially announced the acquisition of both Deskpass and Hubble. This strategic move Expand 👇 expands Yardi’s offerings in the flexible workspace market and strengthens its existing solutions, including Yardi Commercial, Yardi Kube and CoworkingCafe.
The acquisition will enable Yardi to provide a wider-reaching suite of tools for managing coworking spaces, from operations through to marketing to lead generation and revenue insights.
Questions to ponder:
1. Will commission structures on these platforms change, to bring them more in-line with CoworkingCafe’s no commission approach? And if they do, what does it mean for competitors for each platform like Liquidspace, FlowSpace, Desana, Upflex and Gable?
2. Does this create any longer-term ties between Industrious (who had acquired a majority of Deskpass recently) and Yardi?
3. What does this mean in relation to Anant’s big plan for a global interconnected booking experience?
4. Who will be joining the TWIC podcast to answer these and other Qs for you?

💳 Booking platform adds price-match guarantee

📲 Another booking platform leans into day offices
Hayri Demirçapa shares that FlowSpace have also added booking of private day offices to their Expand 👇 platform.
This increasingly popular product type sits alongside ‘traditional’ flex space access, and next to on-demand bookings of things like meeting rooms and hot desks, and can be seen popping into more and more booking platforms.
