Having a location-based job was a by-product of the industrial revolution. We went to the same place every day, did our work and went home.
But the world has changed
We travel more, are exceptionally connected and many of us never completely “clock out”, so working on-the-fly is a natural progression.
Today’s tech means that most people can work from anywhere – and the amount of people becoming digitally nomadic is growing. In 2016, 43% of Americans worked remotely1, and it’s estimated that 70% of UK employers will adopt agile work policies by 20202.

Introducing WORKATION©
An app that makes it convenient to find workspaces on-the-fly, and a powerful solution that turns unused space into money.
This proudly South African idea has global scalability as a priority, as we pioneer a new way to disconnect work from location. The app will be launched first in South Africa, rapidly followed by territories such as USA, Korea and Japan.
Essentially, WORKATION© uses tech to empower people to spend their time working on their own terms. Working on-the-fly isn’t something new - the concept simply leverages an existing, growing behavior by giving users the exact spaces they need – whenever and wherever they need them. WORKATION© is built on providing contextually relevant convenience.
WORKATION© revolves around Nomads and Hosts
Nomads are people who work, meet or present on-the-fly.
Hosts are property owners who make idle spaces highly profitable by turning them into WORKATION© Stations.
Here's how it works
Step 1
A Nomad sets search parameters (location, price, workspace type, facilities etc.) and browses through contextually-relevant WORKATION© Station listings.
Step 2
Upon finding a WORKATION© Station that suits their needs, they request it and await a “Handshake” (i.e. the Host’s acceptance of the Nomad’s request).
Step 3
The Nomad arrives at the WORKATION© Station, uses it to work, meet or present, and leaves. Both parties provide reviews and ratings and payment is cashless.
WORKATION© leverages partnerships to capitalize on its community and data.
Marketers
are able to advertise using contextually-relevant communications. For example, a food delivery business could market food platters to a Nomad who books a boardroom for a workshop.
PowerUp Partners
provide added value infrastructure to the WORKATION© ecosystem, with services and tech (like WiFi or IoT technology).
