Humly has actively expanded its visibility in North America over the past year, beginning with its first InfoComm presence last June and strategic partnerships with complementary technology partners. The DataVisual team see strong opportunity to increase Humly’s Canadian market share in the corporate vertical due to the Canadian business community’s embrace of hybrid work schedules.
“Canada’s business landscape is characterized by the hybrid work model, with most businesses and government offices advocating for no more than two days in the office,” explained Lisa Kislich-Lemyre, CEO, DataVisual. “This shift has transformed offices into flexible spaces, where employees arrive without a designated workspace. This transition presents a prime opportunity for booking technologies that enable workers to reserve desks, meeting rooms, and other workspaces in advance or on the spot. Humly’s solutions cater to both these needs, and most importantly, their booking solutions are user-friendly, making space booking a pleasant experience.”
Kislich-Lemyre adds that Humly’s hardware products, including the compact Humly Booking Device, go a long way in creating that pleasant experience. “Having that hardware device at the desk is what ultimately eliminates the confusion from space booking,” she said. “There is no question whom that space belongs to at the present time.”
In addition to sales and support services, DataVisual will work closely with its extensive dealer network to train and educate dealer representative on Humly’s technology.
“Canada is a vast territory of large provinces, some of which are French speaking and others that largely speak English,” said Anders Karlsson, CEO, Humly. “It’s therefore important to have a large and knowledgeable sales team that understands the cultural differences across different regions, while also working with a company that has a partner network capable of covering the entire country. DataVisual’s large and impressive brand portfolio speaks to its ability to do both, and their ability to support the integration and end user community with their technical expertise is an added value. We look forward to their contributions.”
