OfficeMaps in top 7 of Startups to watch

July 17, 2025

We’re thrilled to share that OfficeMaps has been spotlighted in a recent feature on Queensland’s most exciting and innovative startups! The press coverage in 11 different press publications in Australia, highlights a wave of entrepreneurial talent making waves globally. OfficeMaps make the top 7 alongside firms like Cake Equity, ProcurePro, Little Hinges, AutoRPF and more.

Founded in 2016 by James Sowry and William Lee, OfficeMaps began as a natural solution to help organisations better manage their office spaces. And this was well before hybrid work became the norm. When the global shift to flexible work models accelerated during 2020, OfficeMaps' prouduct was already tested, in-market and able to ride the wave. The platform’s popularity took off and the product quickly expanded to add support for hot desking, car park management and more.

Today, OfficeMaps is used across the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia by some of the largest and smallest companies in the world. But the platform has become a go-to solution for small and medium-sized businesses who are seeking affordable, flexible workplace management tools that help navigate the new workplace reality.  

We’re proud to count the Queensland Government, Ballina Shire Council, and major players in shipping, mining, and construction among our valued customers.

Global Growth


Over the past year, our daily active users have doubled, and our team has grown by 20%.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, we’re focused on:

● Releasing a few new core features that customers have been asking us to build

● Establishing a local US office to support our growing customer base in the United States

● Continuing to support adoption among domestic government and state-funded organisations in Australia who are increasingly preferring to purchase local, homegrown solutions


We’re honoured to be recognised among Queensland’s most promising startups and grateful to our customers, partners, and team who continue to drive our mission forward.

The future of work is flexible, and OfficeMaps is proud to be helping shape it.
