Stop Letting Dead Outlets Dictate Your Floorplan

Share this Posts:

Flexible work is here. Fixed power isn’t. Corporate workplaces and IT/facilities teams are being asked to support mobility, collaboration zones, hoteling, pop-up project rooms—you name it—without tearing into walls or dropping new conduit every quarter. That’s where portable power stations step in.

The Problem: Infrastructure Can’t Keep Up

Traditional electrical upgrades are slow, expensive, and disruptive. Meanwhile, device counts keep rising and employees expect to plug in anywhere. The result? Wasted square footage, underused collaboration areas, and a whole lot of “low-battery anxiety.”

The Fix: A Swiss Army Knife of Power

Omnicharge Power Stations convert a single AC outlet into multiple high-performance charging options—laptops, phones, cameras, you name it—simultaneously. Install time? About five minutes. Retrofit cost? Basically nil. Flexibility? Off the charts.

Self-Service Power Banks = Freedom to Roam

Give employees (or students) the ability to check out a battery pack, go wherever work takes them, then return it when they’re done.

  • Fully functional anywhere: From a quiet corner to an atrium with zero outlets.

  • Supports most devices: Laptops to smartphones and beyond.

  • Space optimization: Ditch fixed charging bars and reclaim real estate for work that matters.

 

Control the Chaos: Asset Management & Smart Charging

Don’t want a fleet of power banks turning into the office’s missing Tupperware? There’s software for that.

  • Track who checked out which unit—and when it’s due back.

  • See usage patterns to right-size your inventory.

  • Program batteries to only charge on the base, protecting longevity and safety.

This isn’t just a convenience feature; it’s a differentiator that keeps IT and facilities in control.

Sustainability That Actually Means Something

Roughly 90% of Omnicharge’s product is recyclable, and there’s a full lithium-ion battery recycling program. Built to last, built to be reused—not another gadget headed for the drawer (or landfill) in a year.

Where It Shines

  • Collaboration zones, multipurpose areas, atriums, ancillary spaces—the spots you designed for interaction but nobody uses because… no power.

  • Remote & hybrid work: Employees can grab a pack for home days and return it later.

  • Travel & site visits: From warehouses without power to client floors still under construction.

  • Industries that live on mobility: Higher ed, marketing, tech, photography/videography, medical, travel—if devices move, power should too.

 

Bonus Insight From Campus Land

Universities chasing “smart campus” status need reliable connectivity and smart power distribution. Portable power supports reconfigurable indoor/outdoor learning, improves device access, boosts engagement, and gives admins data to ensure assets come back on time. Sound familiar? The corporate “smart workplace” has the same needs—just swap classrooms for conference rooms.

The People Stats Don’t Lie

Personalized, well-equipped work environments lead to employees who are:

  • 16% more productive

  • 18% more likely to stay

  • 30% more attracted to their company than competitors
    Power is part of that personalization—because nothing kills flow like scrambling for an outlet.
