Office Evolution Provides Customers with Safe Space for Package Deliveries

Working remotely can be convenient for many workers and their employers, but the art and science of package delivery often cause major headaches. More and more people are wary of receiving packages at home, and they certainly don’t want to worry about so-called porch pirates.

This is where Office Evolution can come in handy.

At an Office Evolution space, workers never need to worry about being present to accept a package delivery during business hours. Much like how Amazon created Hub by Amazon for those who want to avoid having sensitive materials delivered directly to their homes, Office Evolution provides workers with a human being to accept their packages while they’re away from their desks or in a meeting or on a phone call.

Office Evolution locations have a Business Center Manager onsite Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and Office Evolution members have 24/7 access to their offices. Packages are only delivered during business hours. When the Business Center Manager is out to lunch, an onsite security guard will sign for the package.

“That package could be worth quite a bit of money and you don’t just want it sitting in an empty room,” Office Evolution franchisee Andy Bean said. “Someone can steal it or take it. We can make sure it’s kept safe, and we can even repackage it and send it back out. I know customers like it a lot because they don’t have to worry about it. If the member has an office we’ll probably just open their office and put it in there. We also have large lockers that we can put packages in until they’re ready to be picked up.”

Bean owns and operates two Office Evolution franchises in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, one in Alpharetta and the other in Dunwoody. He opened his franchises in 2018.

“It’s just really honestly a one-stop shop,” Bean said of Office Evolution. “We provide everything for customers to work and they just basically need to show up and we take care of the rest. We just make having an office space easy.”

Bean has had clients who were paying as much as $5,000 per month for office spaces, but now through Office Evolution, some of them pay as little as $600. He noted that customers enjoy using the Office Evolution space for privacy and security reasons. He loves how Office Evolution can provide peace-of-mind for its customers.

Office Evolution also provides customers with other services, such as a phone answering service. If a customer is in a meeting or on another phone call, any incoming calls to them will go to a call center instead of a voicemail.

“You know if you don’t answer the phone someone will be there to answer,” Bean said. “It just makes it easy. Lots of people work from home, and many companies have employees who will work from their home office but sometimes they still need professional access to conference rooms and working spaces.”

Office Evolution can also be convenient in other ways. Bean noted how his two locations have easy, open parking, and are located on the first floor of their respective buildings.

“So you walk in and walk out with your package,” he said.

The buildings also have locking doors and surveillance systems, as well as security guards.

“There’s always someone around or watching from a camera to make sure nothing is happening,” Bean said.

Office Evolution aims to provide its customers with a caring environment, and Bean sees it as top-notch.
