Switch For A Superior Experience:
Spica vs HqO for Connectivity
While HQO excels in connectivity through its marketplace feature, integrating seamlessly with various partners, it also harbours weaknesses. The user experience (UX) and customer support may pose challenges, along with connectivity issues when third-party services and resource management come into play. Additionally, implementation with HqO may take more time.
In contrast, Spica adopts a comprehensive approach by building everything in-house and facilitating client integration processes, notably through M365 integration.
Holistic Workplace Experience
Our GemEx App and GemEx Engine Platform provide a comprehensive experience that connects employees with building insights, the company culture, and each other.
Comprehensive Integration - We build everything in-house
Unlike HqO’s marketplace feature, we ensure seamless integration through M365, eliminating the challenges associated with third-party dependencies.
Value-Oriented Workplace Solutions
Spica provides a budget-friendly alternative without compromising on features. Our commitment is to deliver enhanced value, making the switch from HqO a strategic move for your organisation.

Spica vs HqO for Space Optimisation
In the quest for an exceptional desk booking solution, the focus should revolve around the ultimate employee experience. Spica Technologies spearheads this ethos, positioning its GemEx Engine® Platform as the key catalyst for a transformative return-to-office journey.
Our GemEx Platform is a distinct advantage setting us apart from HqO. Unlike our counterparts, Spica offers more than just a tool; it’s a comprehensive system integrating a digital twin concept, redefining how your workspace operates.
How can we better understand and utilise our office space more efficiently?
A digital twin (like Spica’s GemEx Engine) provides a virtual representation of the physical workspace. This allows you visualise space usage to identify underutilised areas, congestion points, and popular zones. This data-driven insight facilitates better space planning and cutting operational costs.
How can we gain real-time insights and manage our workspace efficiently from a remote location?
Our GemEx Platform enable remote monitoring and management capabilities. Managers can track real-time data on space utilisation, environmental conditions, and resource availability. This remote access and monitoring facilitate proactive management, allowing adjustments or interventions as needed without physical presence.
How can we improve the workspace to enhance employee productivity and satisfaction?
Use insights derived from our GemEx Platform to create employee-centric spaces. Design workspaces that enhance employee productivity, collaboration, and well-being, ultimately leading to a more positive employee experience.
