Hivy

Office managers at growing companies struggle to manage diverse employee requests, coordinate with multiple service providers, and maintain oversight of workplace operations and spending across fragmented systems and channels.

A centralized platform that collects all office management requests through multiple interfaces, enables task assignment and tracking, integrates with procurement systems, and connects office managers with vetted service providers.

Managed by Q sought to expand its office management capabilities by acquiring Hivy's task management platform and gaining access to Hivy's global customer base. The acquisition enabled Managed by Q to scale to new geographies and enhance its mission of making it easier to run an office.

Hivy addressed the challenges faced by office managers in scaling companies. These managers often struggle to efficiently handle diverse employee requests, coordinate with various service providers, and maintain comprehensive oversight of workplace operations and expenditures across disparate systems and communication channels. Hivy offered a centralized platform designed to streamline these processes. The platform collected all office management requests through multiple interfaces, facilitating task assignment and tracking. It also integrated with procurement systems and connected office managers with a network of vetted service providers. Ultimately, Hivy was acquired by Managed by Q in September 2017. This acquisition integrated Hivy's task management platform and team into Managed by Q's product and engineering operations, based in New York. Managed by Q's strategic rationale behind the acquisition was to expand its office management capabilities, leveraging Hivy's technology and customer base to scale its operations into new geographic markets and further its mission of simplifying office management.
