Flexopus and your own floor plans? Choose the right option for your needs!

Floor plans are the heart of Flexopus software and serve as a visual interface for easily selecting various objects. With Flexopus, you can upload your own floor plans into our software or use Flexopus floor plans created by our experts, which offer the advantage of a high-quality, uniform display. To help you make an informed decision, we compare the two options!

Flexopus floor plans

Flexopus floor plans are vector-based graphics created by our graphic designers for a small fee. These high-quality floor plans are created based on a sketch or floor plan of your room, office, or building. Our team of graphic designers will skillfully organize your object layouts to ensure an optimal user experience.

Advantages

Using vector-based floor plans not only ensures faster loading times and better usability, but also blends seamlessly into the distinctive look and feel of Flexopus, guaranteeing an optimal user experience. Thanks to their vector-based nature, users can zoom in indefinitely without compromising the clarity of object edges.

Introducing new software can initially meet with resistance. The improved user experience provided by Flexopus floor plans can therefore play a decisive role in the acceptance and satisfaction of your teams. After all, you want your staff to enjoy using Flexopus, day after day! Furthermore, it is much easier to use our floor planner with a Flexopus floor plan. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, you can move your objects, add new ones, or delete them. This is very practical, as you don't have to contact customer support every time you want to change your office layout.

Disadvantages

Flexopus floor plans are created by our Flexopus graphic designers for a small fee, as you receive a bespoke solution perfectly tailored to your needs! It is also important to note that the team needs a few days to create your floor plan. Our graphic designers invest a great deal of time and expertise to ensure the highest level of precision in every floor plan.

Custom floor plans

Unlike Flexopus floor plans, custom floor plans can be uploaded directly by you. These can be any image files such as JPEG, PNG, SVG, or even a floor plan you have drawn yourself! Bookable objects are simply marked on the image so that they can be clicked on by users at a later time. With this alternative, you can create floor plans quickly and easily yourself if you want to get started right away.

Advantages

With custom floor plans, you only need to mark the bookable objects and upload them to the software. No prior knowledge is required, making the creation of individual floor plans intuitive and simple. In addition, custom floor plans are also supported by our floor planner, albeit with some limitations. A custom floor plan allows you to get started with the application quickly and is practical for a small number of objects. This feature offers a more cost-effective alternative compared to the Flexopus version.

Disadvantages

While custom floor plans serve as practical image files, it is important to note that zooming in can lead to pixelation, which limits the clarity of details. This can impair usability and prevent employees from zooming into the floor plan to get an accurate picture of the office layout and workstation location. With custom floor plans, changes in the floor planner are limited to changing the positions of objects, which restricts individual customization options.

Fazit

In summary, the choice between Flexopus and custom floor plans ultimately depends on your priorities and requirements. The customization options of the floor planner ensure a polished appearance and make Flexopus floor plans the ideal choice for those seeking advanced features. Flexopus floor plans, created by graphic designers, offer excellent quality with vector-based graphics that ensure faster loading times and a user-friendly experience.

Custom floor plans, on the other hand, are a simpler and more cost-effective solution. They allow for the quick and easy creation of floor plans using user-uploaded image files and are suitable for those who want to get started immediately with minimal effort. However, it is important to consider the limitations, such as potential pixelation when zooming, lower overall usability, and limited editing options.
