Our take
Work-from-home trends have ebbed and flowed over the past years, but this trend has been dramatically accelerated following Coronavirus. Hofy aims to let organisations provide home offices to their team whilst remaining compliant with health and safety and tax regulations.
The company offers furniture and IT such as ergonomic chairs, desks, monitors, keyboards, headsets, mice, printers and accessories such as desk lamps, standing mats, screen mounts and desk risers. Its catalogue caters to any desk-based profession and budget. Once the organisations have created their account, they can pre-approve products from Hofy's catalogue and invite their team members to browse and order from their private Hofy store-front. Hofy then delivers and responds to service/replacement requests on all of the items.
Hofy also works with the home office equipment that teams already have. Home office provisioning is an ongoing effort - and Hofy offers an effortless transition by helping assess and replace existing items as needed. However, with the subject of remote work experiencing some friction amongst leading companies like Microsoft's management teams in 2023, the longevity of success for services like Hofy depends on the trend's continued rise. Regardless, for now, Hofy is in a positive place on the back of impressive 2022 funding.
