FAQ
General
We know how frustrating it can be if you have already allocated some budget to purchase equipment for your employees in the past. Fleex can offer you two different options regarding these purchases:
- We can buy them all back from you, so the items no longer belong to your. (It also means you are no longer responsible for their maintenance ;))
- We can put these employees in a group with a smaller number of points, and create another group for your new hires.
At Fleex, we take care of everything! Each employee can contact our support team by email, and we will take care of the maintenance of his equipment.
A screen isn't working properly anymore ? Not worries! In less than 24 hours, we'll make sure to setup the delivery of a new monitor, then the collection of the old one (that we refurbish) so your collaborator can work in the best work-from-home conditions.
After they log in to their Fleex account, your employees can order their equipment in full autonomy within the bucket of points you decide to give them.
You don't need to validate every order.
To equip your employees while working from home, Fleex allows you to allocate a monthly budget and set up a personalized product catalog amongst a wide selection of ergonomic equipments. Together, we help you tailor your product catalog to your needs, reflecting the remote experience you want to offer your employees.
The predefined budget is subsequently converted into a number of points made available to your employees. Points allow your employees to independently select and shop items on our platform.
What happens next? Nothing! Fleex takes care of everything so you don't have to. We ship, deliver, install and repair all equipment, and when a person leaves the company, we collect and redistribute it.
Your employees get the equipment they need to work from home efficiently and you benefit from a centralized asset management system.
The little bonus ? We only work with renowned brands, who provide long lasting and high quality equipment that we recondition to give it a second life!

Subscription
Your Fleex commitment is based on a minimum commitment of subscription fee (The company commits to pay a minimum monthly fee calculated by multiplying the number of active users committed at the start of the contract by the associated monthly subscription plan).
You will therefore have to pay the full amount at the start of your contract, regardless of the number of users who actually decide to log in to the platform to order items.
We jointly define the number of active users to commit to in the contract by forecasting demand as accurately as possible. Setting a minimum commitment allows us to stock appropriate inventory levels, to provide high quality service and to reduce delivery times.
You will be billed annually for a minimum commitment of subscription fee (The company commits to pay a minimum monthly fee calculated by multiplying the number of active users committed at the start of the contract by the associated monthly subscription plan).
All other adjustments (mainly related to the addition of active users resulting in a total fee amount above the Minimum Commitment of subscription fee for instance) are billed monthly.
At the end of the contract, we will discuss the renewal terms (duration, number of active users, etc.) that are most suitable to your company's needs.
When a contract is renewed, equipments will not be replaced unless of course they are damaged. We are very committed to the circular economy and aim at reducing or obsolete waste due to unnecessary replacements as much as possible.
Fleex subscription plans are valid for a renewable 24-month commitment period for the company.
The company commits to pay a minimum monthly fee calculated multiplying the minimum number of active users committed at the start of the contract by the associated monthly plan.
An active user is a person who order at least 1 item and hasn't returned it yet. If an employee logs in to their Fleex account but doesn't order anything, they won't be considered as an active user.
Conversely to the commitment of the company, users have a lot of freedom.
They can switch equipment anytime during the contract (within the limit of times agreed upon in the contract). They can leave the company and be replaced by another employee.
This means you can partially absorb your employee turnover rate as active user seats are transferable.
Our subscription plans include all the following services: logistics, delivery, collection, customer service & support, breakage insurance and a platform access.
We assist you through the entire life cycle of your employees and manage all the resulting product flows, even from items previously purchased.
The price of your Fleex subscription plan will depend on two things: the number of active users (a person who ordered at least 1 item and who hasn't returned it yet) and the contract duration.
Our package enables your employees to log in to their personal account and select products they need using our points system.
