About the company

The Cities for Financial Empowerment (CFE) Fund was established in 2012 at the New York Stock Exchange. The Fund supports mayors and city leaders by providing funding and hands-on support to help launch and expand local financial empowerment programs.

The challenge

Creating a flexible workspace to support a growing hybrid team

As the pandemic reshaped how teams work, the CFE Fund decided to move forward with a hybrid work model. Their existing office space simply wasn’t big enough for everyone to have a permanent desk, and it was time to rethink their setup.

Before making any decisions, they surveyed employees to understand what they wanted from a flexible workplace. Then, they started looking for a desk and room booking solution that could meet their needs.

Key requirements included:

  • A user-friendly platform that worked on mobile devices

  • An interactive map to make finding desks and rooms easy

  • Integration with existing tools like Microsoft 365

  • A smooth onboarding experience that wouldn’t disrupt workflows

As a non-profit, they needed a solution that was intuitive, efficient, and easy for everyone to adopt.

The solution

A user-friendly booking system with seamless Microsoft integration

Archie checked all the boxes for CFE Fund, and the partnership came together quickly.

With Archie’s interactive office map, employees could easily see who was in the office and where they were sitting. Booking desks and rooms became as simple as opening the Archie app and tapping a spot.

Even better, Archie integrated smoothly with Microsoft 365 and SSO login, so employees could start using it right away with their existing credentials — no new accounts or complex setup needed.

This took the stress out of introducing new software and gave staff a premium, easy-to-use experience from day one.

The result

A smarter, more flexible workplace for a mission-driven team

Thanks to Archie, the CFE Fund successfully rolled out its hybrid work strategy. Employee feedback was positive, and the team saw a clear boost in both performance and well-being.

With a flexible setup in place and less time spent on space management, the Fund can stay focused on what matters most: helping communities across the country build a stronger financial future.
