Problem & solution

Flexible financing, modern design

In light of increasing demands for modern workplace solutions, growing demand for flexible rental and leasing models, and a growing affinity for digital technology, designfunktion needed a financing solution that could meet all these developments. The company was looking for a model that could be concluded quickly and digitally, required minimal administrative effort, responded individually to customer requests, and at the same time preserved the liquidity of end customers. At the same time, it should meaningfully expand the company's own range of services.

Through the partnership with Flexvelop, a flexible solution was integrated that enables designfunktion:
✅ Submit offers directly in the sales process—digitally and paperlessly
✅ Rent furniture and furnishings flexibly, with a return or purchase option
✅ Offer customers an attractive alternative to traditional purchase financing
✅ Position its own portfolio of services, from planning and implementation to service, more clearly

Customized scope of services

Financing options can be tailored precisely to the size of the project, budget, and useful life. This allows customers to implement individually configured room concepts without being restricted by rigid financing structures.

FLEX rental solution

Flexvelop's Flex Rental solution offers a modern approach to furnishing work and living spaces: fast, digital, and without long-term commitments. Customers can rent furniture and furnishings as needed and simply return or purchase them later. This model lowers barriers to entry, opens up financial flexibility, and makes it easier to make decisions about larger investments.

Reliability

Flexvelop supports designfunktion as a reliable financing and process partner. Digital processes ensure transparency and fast planning. Consistent service quality, fast decision-making processes, and a stable technical framework ensure that customers can count on smooth processing at all times.

Cooperation

"With FLEX rental via Flexvelop, we can offer our customers even more flexible, high-quality furnishing solutions—quick decisions, low investment barriers, high service standards."

Thanks to Flexvelop's solution, designfunktion can significantly optimize its processes and tap into new growth potential.

The result:
The completion rate for larger furnishing projects is increasing. New customer groups can be acquired who want to avoid high investment costs, while at the same time reducing the administrative effort involved in the entire financing process. In addition, Flexvelop enables a noticeable increase in sales per project, as designfunktion can provide attractive rental and financing offers.
