Pluria, a leading B2B SaaS platform connecting distributed teams with nearby workspaces, has announced its acquisition of Bili, an innovative menu ordering and payment solution. This strategic move underscores Pluria's commitment to enhancing the seamless working experience in flexible spaces.
Founded in 2022, Bili, a mobile solution for swift meal ordering and payment, will be integrated into Pluria’s platform, enhancing the user experience in selected locations by streamlining menu access and ordering.
"Acquiring Bili allows us to enhance our service offerings and provide an even better user experience in the cafés in the Pluria network," said Andrei Cretu, CEO and co-founder of Pluria. "The world has settled on hybrid work, with workspaces evolving to meet the increased need for flexibility. Cafés, where people can share a meal and casually work, are part of the new work infrastructure. We aim to elevate this experience, making workdays more productive and teams more connected.”
"I am thrilled to leverage Bili's tech stack to support Pluria's vision of enhancing work experiences," said Daniel Popa, founder of Bili. "This integration will help café owners increase their revenues by tapping into Pluria's client base and supporting flexible work in the process."
Pluria, currently boasting over 100 ready-to-work cafés and 450 coworkings in its network, is the first solution bringing cafés closer to hybrid teams and companies. With the acquisition of Bili, Pluria users can now enjoy seamless food ordering and enhanced hybrid work experiences across 110 cities in 14 Latin American and European countries. Pluria anticipates these 100+ locations will rapidly benefit from the new solution, and expects the number of cafés in the network to triple within the next year.
"Our goal is to help our client companies maintain a productive and connected workforce in this new hybrid reality, and we are evolving our platform to do that," said Gabriela Draghia, CRO and co-founder of Pluria. "In terms of building culture, eating together may be the biggest single advantage someone can have compared with connecting purely online. This is the power of an employee engagement strategy done right."
The acquisition will enhance the user experience by providing easy access to menus and a seamless ordering process in select locations, allowing users to focus on their work and collaborate effectively without distractions.
At a global level, 81% of companies have chosen to implement a hybrid work model for their organization.
