Q: How did Seatti evolve from a desk-sharing tool into a full workplace management platform?

Reimagining Hybrid Work: How Saskia Neuner with Seatti is Transforming the Modern Workplace
Q: What gave you and your team the idea to build this?
The idea emerged from observing hybrid work early on and conducting a significant survey with a large German company to understand what it would take for them to truly live hybrid work, which led to desk sharing as a practical first feature and evolved into broader workplace management capabilities.
