The Challenge
Claimini more than doubled in two years: from 30 to 75 employees, with two office moves along the way. What had felt natural in startup mode broke down at scale. The 50% home office policy in everyone's contract clustered around midweek. Wednesdays the office overflowed, other days desks sat empty. Without data, the basic question "do we need more desks, or do we need to balance the days?" had no answer.
Monday mornings were the stress test. Claimini runs a damage hotline with a call-center-style setup. By 7 or 8 a.m., people need to be at a workstation with double monitors, headset, and the right phone setup. When three people show up to the same desk three minutes before their shift starts, "we'll figure it out" stops being a strategy.
Annika, the office manager, was absorbing all of it manually. She'd walk the floor, send people from one room to another, and sometimes find the CEO himself working at a desk because nothing else was free. Team leads came to her asking for a fair system. They didn't want to play traffic controller every week. The clean-desk policy couldn't be enforced either, because no one knew who'd be at a desk the next day.
Why PULT?
Annika evaluated several tools side by side. Deskly was one of them. She'd seen it in use at a previous company and gave it a fair look. But three factors made PULT the clearer fit for Claimini.
PULT in Action
Annika had blocked an entire day to set up the floor plan. She finished in 45 minutes. Within a week, PULT was fully embedded in daily routines. No rollout phase, no printed quick-start guides.
Beyond standard desk booking, Claimini configured the system to reflect how the team actually works. Color-coded "pink seats" mark desks reserved for experienced colleagues with at least three years of damage management expertise. New hires book themselves into proximity, so they can ask questions to someone with the knowledge, instead of ending up in a room with five other newcomers. Team-oriented booking logic keeps teams from scattering across three rooms by accident.
The reporting layer is now what drives space planning. Wednesday's overflow is no longer a feeling. It's a number. The same goes for the underused days, which informs how the hybrid policy gets steered going forward.
