The Challenge: Embracing The New Ways Of Working
In April 2023, Tirlán unveiled their new headquarters at Abbey Quarter, situated in the vibrant heart of Kilkenny.
Designed as a sustainable workplace of the future, Tirlán wanted to shift away from the traditional office model and embrace the new ways of working for their new collaboration hub.
Their 3 objectives were:
1. Enable a hybrid working model that gives employees autonomy
2. Provide flexibility for staff to seamlessly come and go
3. Maximise the usage of the building and car park
“We are getting maximum use and maximum efficiency of the space.”
– Tirlán
Tackling the Problems to Be Solved
Ronspot partnered closely with Tirlán to understand the unique challenges of hybrid working in their new headquarters. Together, they looked beyond the immediate needs to build a sustainable, flexible workplace model. By rolling out Ronspot’s workplace platform — including desk booking, meeting room reservations, and parking management — Tirlán enabled autonomy for staff and maximised use of their office resources. The system was quickly adopted across the Kilkenny site, making hybrid work seamless and efficient.
Here’s what Tirlán was facing — and how Ronspot solved it:
Rigid Work Schedules
Employees had little control over their time, limiting autonomy and flexibility.
Ronspot allows staff to book and manage their schedules in advance, empowering them to choose when and how they work. According to Philip McCabe, the hybrid model “wouldn’t work without it.”
Uncertainty in Hybrid Work
Staff couldn’t be sure desks or parking would be available when needed.
Ronspot’s live booking system gives visibility and certainty, letting employees reserve spaces ahead of time. For Tirlán staff, it provides”ownership of their working schedule”, says Mary Banks, Office Facilities Manager.
Underused Resources
Office space and parking were often left idle or inefficiently used.
Ronspot optimises allocation, ensuring desks, meeting rooms, and parking are always used to their full potential. Employees can share resources more effectively, avoiding spaces being held all day when only needed part-time.
The Results: A Smarter Hybrid Model and Better Space Utilisation
By introducing Ronspot’s booking system, Tirlán enabled hundreds of employees to seamlessly adopt hybrid working. This has maximised use of their new headquarters and avoided the need for additional space — delivering both cost savings and a better employee experience.
