CloudVO Joins the Yardi Commercial Listing Service Network
Yardi, a global leader in real estate software solutions, recently announced the acquisition of CloudVO — the online reseller of virtual offices, meeting rooms, and other workplace services that coined the term Workplace-as-a-Service nearly two decades ago. Since then, it has grown to serve both small and large businesses through a network of nearly 1,000 carefully selected flexible office locations and more than 50,000 private offices and meeting rooms worldwide.
The San Francisco-based company joins Yardi’s listing service network, which already includes prominently positioned brands such as CommercialCafe, CommercialSearch, 42Floors, and PropertyShark. Also part of the growing network is CoworkingCafe, a platform dedicated to promoting coworking services.
And, because all Yardi listing sites share the same database, coworking, and flexible space clients benefit from the convenience of syndication across all brands by listing only in one account. The network generates more than 20,000 monthly leads to participating commercial property owners and coworking operators.
“We are thrilled that CloudVO is now part of Yardi,” said Laurent Dhollande, CEO of CloudVO. “Our partners will benefit from the Yardi listing service with infinitely more reach and strength than CloudVO could provide on its own, with seven online listing sites that combine more than 3 million visitors monthly. Our customers will be exposed to a larger inventory and better choices for their online bookings and purchases of workplace services, including meeting rooms, private offices, and virtual offices.”
“We have closely followed CloudVO’s progress for many years now, and it seemed that the time was right to incorporate their assets and intimate knowledge of coworking operators into Yardi,” said Rob Teel, Yardi president of commercial. “We are looking forward to continuing this journey with Laurent and his team.”
CloudVO ceased new orders as of June 1. Since then, clients have been redirected to CoworkingCafe. Notably, phone answering services are not part of the assets sold to Yardi and will continue to be provided without interruption by CloudAnswering, which will remain a member of the Pacific Workplaces family of companies.
