Distrii vs. Servcorp
-
Rapid Growth vs. Solid Track Record
Distrii is one of the leading workspace providers in the industry when it comes to expansion and rapid growth. They managed to open 30 locations in the span of fewer than 5 years, and recently opened their first international location in Singapore. As a business owner, you want to partner with a workspace provider that’s growing and constantly looking for new opportunities.
But you also want to look at a company’s track record. This is especially relevant if you plan to hire them or outsource certain business services. On that note, Servcorp wins not only because they have existed since 1978 and managed to evolve with the time, but also because they have a solid track record of helping businesses through their services.
-
Network and Market
When choosing a workspace provider, you want to pay attention to their network size and community diversity and see whether they satisfy your market needs. As a business, you need to meet the right people to sell your products and services.
If China is your market, then go with Distrii. Distrii has 30 locations, most of which are in China’s densest cities. But if your market is more diverse or if you plan to sell internationally, then pick Servcorp. Servcorp has 150 locations for you to choose from and it is operational in the USA, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. Working with them can gain you entrance to a market you’re eyeing.
-
Smart Offices vs. Serviced Offices
Another key difference between District and Servcorp is what they provide members on top of their workspaces. Distrii gives members smart office solutions through their proprietary technology whereas Servcorp is a service provider most known for its IT Services, HR services, and global telephone services. The choice here boils down to what your business needs more at the moment, is it smart office solutions or business services?
