The Village by CA ParisThe Village by CA Paris has been a great supporter of Jooxter since its inception. Thanks to its incubation at the Village, Jooxter made a name for itself with one of its biggest accounts: Crédit Agricole. And so a long story began, with Jooxter gradually gaining a foothold in the Group's various Villages and Regional Banks. Today, Jooxter helps most Crédit Agricole entities to manage their workspaces and analyze occupancy flows in the face of hybrid and flex office working.
Hybrid working combines the advantages of face-to-face and remote working. Employees can alternate between the two modalities according to their needs and the company's requirements. This allows them to benefit from face-to-face interaction when required. It also enhances the flexibility, time and cost savings associated with remote working.
Flex office is a concept that allows employees to work in office spaces adapted to their needs. It's a workspace management system that allows employees to choose where and when they want to work. This eliminates the need to adhere to fixed schedules and locations. This includes shared workspaces, meeting rooms, relaxation areas and private workspaces. Flex office allows employees to work in environments adapted to their working style. This can improve their productivity and well-being at work.
Interview Fabrice Marsella
First and foremost, we'd like to thank Fabrice Marsella, Village Paris manager for the past 8 years, and Elen Bollache, Communication Manager at the Village, for their testimonials on the implementation of Jooxter at the Paris Village. They explain how Jooxter has helped them optimize the use of space and organize the life of the ecosystem. Productivity and flexibility seem to be the order of the day for innovative start-ups.

What's the link between Village by CA Paris and Jooxter?
"The Village's job is to act as a sounding board, to raise awareness and to act as a prescriber for these start-ups.
So when Jooxter arrived in the Village, it was only natural for us to install the solution within the Village. To show that the Village was more successful with Jooxter than without.
As a result, we've been able to mobilize and spread the word about Jooxter to all the other Crédit Agricole Villages. We're not the only Village equipped with Jooxter today. Likewise, Crédit Agricole's Regional Banks have been introduced to the solution, and some have already implemented it.
Village by CA Paris, Jooxter beta tester?
"In the 7 years I've been using Jooxter, I've seen how the solution has evolved, and how it now incorporates feedback from its users. There are 80 start-ups in the Village, which represents 300 people. So 300 people who, on a daily basis, use and test the new Jooxter functionalities.
As a result, today it's an ultra-optimized solution, which has evolved every year for the benefit of our daily life in the Village.
Jooxter is the perfect example of what we like to support at the Village. Start-ups that arrive very young and, alongside the ecosystem, we see them grow. Today, Jooxter is no longer a small start-up, but a fast-growing one, and I can't wait to test the new functions that will be offered to customers.
Interview Elen Bollache
"My name is Elen Bollache, and I'm Communication Manager at Village by CA Paris. My role is to communicate with our different targets: start-ups and corporates, as we have these two areas of activity. I'm also in charge of improving the customer experience for start-ups within the Village."
What's your relationship with Jooxter?
"In fact, I know Jooxter from previous experience, as I was part of an investment fund that financed Jooxter. So I had the pleasure of meeting the start-up again when I arrived at Village by CA Paris.
Our initial problem was that we had a lot of start-ups on the site. 85 start-ups for 9 meeting rooms, so we were concerned about fluidity. That's why we called on Jooxter, to reserve these rooms so that everyone could find what they were looking for."
How do you think Jooxter and its product have evolved?
"We've noticed that the product has come a long way in the last year and a half. We're lucky enough to meet the Jooxter teams in the Village square, and they're very responsive and attentive to problems. I can mention the sensors that have been installed in the phone booths. As a result, we know directly whether the booth is taken or not. This makes for real fluidity.
Our biggest challenge is the customer experience for start-ups. When they arrive, their experience has to be the best on the premises. Jooxter has helped to improve this experience and life at the Village in general. What's more, the solution has removed the sticking point that was, managing meeting rooms or phone booths."
Any final words?
"Village by CA Paris is very happy to welcome Jooxter. We're excited about how the start-up will evolve in the future."
