Simplify Your Workplace Strategy with Flexible Payment Options

Upflex offers two convenient payment methods to suit your team’s needs: the Pool Method and the Credit Card Method. Each option is designed to provide flexibility, control, and ease of use for your organization. Here’s a quick overview to help you choose the best option for your team:


1. Pool Method

A collective set of funds employees can use provides a streamlined, efficient way to manage and track bookings with robust reporting and budget control. Perfect for teams with frequent bookings.

How It Works:

  • Commit to a set pool amount (e.g., $10,000 per quarter)

  • Your team can book spaces, with the costs drawing from the pool

Advantages:

  • Seamless Experience: No need for users to add credit card to book or submit expenses

  • Robust Reporting: Detailed usage reports make it easy to track and manage expenses

  • Budget Controls: Set and manage company, team or user spend with ease

  • Simplified Reconciliation: No need to reconcile space booking transactions from credit cards

  • Ease of Administration: Pools can be allocated from POs to different cost centers

Ideal For:

  • Teams of 10+ employees with frequent booking needs

  • Organizations looking for streamlined expense management

  • Companies that value comprehensive reporting for both budget & inventory control.


2. Credit Card Method

Offers flexibility for smaller teams with infrequent bookings, without the need for upfront commitments.

How It Works:

  • A corporate credit card for the company or for individual teams/departments can be added to cover booking costs

  • Alternatively, each employee can add their own credit card for their bookings

  • Credit Card processing fees may apply

Advantages:

  • Flexibility: No upfront commitment required

  • Expense Management: Charges to individual credit cards allow for expense tracking

Ideal For:

  • Small teams or individual employees booking once or twice a quarter

  • Organizations without a need for detailed reporting or centralized budget control
