BASE, Inc. Adopts "Telecube" to Enhance Secure Meeting Environments Amidst Increase in Office Attendance

V-CUBE, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jun Mizutani; hereinafter "V-CUBE") announces that BASE, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuta Tsuruoka; hereinafter "BASE") has installed its soundproof private booths, "Telecube."

While the company has adopted a hybrid work style as its work policy, it introduced Telecube to establish a secure meeting environment and improve office convenience in response to the increasing frequency of employees coming into the office.

■ Challenges Before Telecube and the Adoption Process

BASE, which operates the online shop creation service "BASE" and the shopper service "Pay ID," faced a shortage of spaces for web conferences and environments for concentration as web meetings increased following the shift to a hybrid work style since the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Challenges with Web Conferencing and Existing Facilities
  The increase in web conferences made it difficult to secure a place for them. Additionally, existing meeting rooms had poor sound insulation against the speaker sounds used in web conferences, raising concerns about sound leakage during confidential meetings and environmental noise from outside during business talks. Therefore, there was a demand for a secure, private space that could serve as a "psychological anchor" to alleviate employee anxiety.

■ Key Points for Adopting Telecube

The following points were highly evaluated when selecting the private booths:

• High Sound-Insulation: Among the multiple products inspected and compared, it offered the best soundproofing with no leakage.

• Trial Introduction: The availability of a trial introduction through a subscription allowed the company to verify its usage frequency and effectiveness before full-scale implementation.

• Design: Its simple, space-saving design that doesn't detract from the office atmosphere allows for installation without feeling oppressive.

■ Main Effects of Introducing Telecube

To solve the aforementioned issues, BASE introduced V-CUBE's soundproof private booths "Telecube," achieving the following office environment:

• Securing a "Concentration Environment" and Alleviating Employee Anxiety
  It addressed employee concerns such as "being bothered by the gazes and sounds of others during web conferences" by providing physically separated private booths. By preparing a "psychological anchor" that can be used anytime, it has realized an environment where employees can work with peace of mind.

• Protecting Confidential Information and Optimizing Web Conference Environments with High Soundproofing
  The risk of sound leakage, a problem in existing conference rooms, was resolved by introducing Telecube, which boasts high sound insulation. This has created a secure space where highly confidential communications, such as recruitment interviews and personnel meetings, and important web conferences that require the elimination of surrounding noise, can be conducted without worrying about information leakage.
