Tribes’ digital backbone: delivering flexible workspace experiences

In a real estate market shaped by continuous change, Tribes distinguishes itself with outstanding flexibility. While traditional players often struggle to pivot, the company adapts with remarkable speed, staying ahead of industry trends and evolving client needs. In addition to serving its trusted community of business nomads, Tribes is now targeting larger tenants and organisations. The company's future lies in offering premium, flexible Managed Suites: tailor-made work environments that reflect each tenant’s identity, without the burden of long-term lease commitments.

The challenge

‍

As services expanded, so did the complexity of managing reservations, contracts and invoicing. To maintain a full-service experience without losing control of processes or customer data, a unified, intelligent platform was essential. Tribes wanted to ensure that their technology evolved alongside their ambitious business goals to stay ahead of competitors. More recently, Tribes wanted to focus on repositioning the brand, reimagining the website and modernising marketing efforts to ensure Tribes remains a leader in a world that is always on the move. Thus, their focus remained clear: scalable growth, operational efficiency and a deeply personal level of service. Key challenges the company was struggling with were: 

‍

• Cost control: to support rapid expansion, the entire lifecycle (from booking to invoicing) needed to be seamless. Gen25 came in to focus on managing complex contracts and diverse services within a single environment to ensure maximum efficiency and profitability.
• Technology and platform innovation:  Salesforce, the website, the accounting system and the POS application all played essential roles, but weren’t yet fully aligned as one integrated landscape. To truly scale, a fully aligned ecosystem was essential. Moreover, the digital storefront needed to evolve from a functional platform into a premium “shop window” that attracts the right audience and reflects the brand’s high-end proposition.
• Customer & market focus: a key challenge in the flexible workspace industry was balancing a dual market focus. The platform needed to handle the complexity of large-scale corporate deals while remaining intuitive and accessible for freelancers and smaller tenants.
• Business growth: to unlock scalable growth more than just software was required. Tribes was looking for a partner who could translate a corporate strategy into a flexible digital setup.

The solution

‍

To support this evolution, Tribes and Gen25 have partnered to turn Salesforce into the digital backbone of the organisation. This collaboration is built on shared commitment to innovation. By acting as a strategic extension of the Tribes team, Gen25 helps refine and expand a connected ecosystem that unifies data, bookings and financial flows. This partnership ensures that while the technology is robust, it remains flexible enough to adapt to new market demands. The solution included:

‍

• A scalable commercial backbone: by optimising Sales Cloud as the central CRM, Gen25 created a "single source of truth." This integration between the website, finance systems, and POS allows Tribes to manage leads and complex contracts with total clarity. Together, we’ve built a foundation that allows for the seamless addition of new locations and propositions without operational friction.
• Optimised booking & resource management: leveraging years of experience with GoMeddo, the partnership focuses on simplifying the complexity of workspace management. From real-time availability to intricate membership models, the solution ensures a consistent, high-end experience for both staff and members across all global locations.
• Data-driven marketing & lead generation: with the implementation of Marketing Cloud, the collaboration has empowered the marketing team to act with greater independence. By utilising AI-driven insights and native Salesforce integration, Tribes can now target specific segments with precision, moving toward a more balanced and sustainable lead-generation mix.
• A future-proof digital presence: the ongoing evolution of the Tribes website is a testament to this strategic partnership. Beyond aesthetics, the focus is on technical SEO and AI optimisation to ensure the brand reaches the right corporate audience. This ensures the digital "front door" is perfectly aligned with the premium quality found within every Tribes location.
