How is CORT responding to the ever-changing needs of the FM world?

CORT supports facility managers in navigating daily complexities and long-term transitions with solutions built for flexibility, sustainability, and ease of execution. The CORT Furniture-as-a-Service™ model eliminates capital outlays, allowing FMs to access high-quality furnishings without the burden of ownership.

As hybrid work reshapes office dynamics, CORT promotes a “permanently flexible” approach. Our clients blend rental and owned assets to test layouts, support swing spaces, or reconfigure quickly — without overinvesting in permanent furniture or fixed plans.

We understand that most FMs don’t need more to manage — they need less to worry about. That’s why CORT offers turnkey support that covers layout planning, delivery, setup, and pickup — freeing up bandwidth for more strategic, high-value tasks. It’s not just a product — it’s a service designed to reduce stress and workload.

All of this is backed by a circular model that prioritizes reuse and refurbishment, keeping over 95 percent of our inventory out of landfills. CORT empowers FMs to stay agile, reduce environmental impact and meet daily operational demands — all with fewer headaches and more control.

What’s on the horizon in your field, and how is CORT meeting those challenges and opportunities?

FMs are entering a new era shaped by budget pressure, shifting work patterns, and growing sustainability mandates. CORT helps FMs respond with furniture solutions designed for uncertain timelines, tight resources, and evolving workplace needs.

As organizations look to preserve capital, CORT’s Furniture-as-a-Service™ model offers a cost-effective path. FMs avoid long-term commitments, sidestep storage and repair hassles, and flex their furniture footprint to match real-time demand. This not only reduces financial risk—it minimizes logistical burden.

Meanwhile, circularity is becoming a practical necessity. Furniture waste has soared 450 percent since 1960, yet CORT’s model diverts the vast majority of furnishings from landfills through reuse and refurbishment. For FMs under pressure to meet ESG targets, this approach delivers results with measurable environmental and financial upside.

With hybrid work redefining space usage, FMs must now design for flexibility. Whether it’s outfitting temporary offices, co-working hubs or subleased spaces, CORT delivers scalable, reconfigurable furnishings backed by responsive service.
