An Overview of Office HQ
Office HQ is a UK-wide office space brokerage that helps businesses find and secure suitable workspaces across major UK cities. Their team supports clients through the full office search process, from sourcing and shortlisting spaces to arranging viewings and advising on negotiations. To support their reporting workflow, the platform needed improvements that would make office reports more dynamic, personalised, and easier for users to generate independently.
How we helped
Our team enhanced Office HQ’s existing Laravel reporting platform to make report generation more reliable, personalised, and flexible. We worked within the existing codebase, resolved technical issues, integrated location-based mapping, and added editable export functionality to better support their internal workflow.
Resolved Codebase Issues
During work on the demo environment, we identified issues in the existing Laravel codebase that were preventing report generation and causing a 500 server error. We investigated the problem, fixed the demo-specific code, and restored the reporting functionality without affecting the live platform.
Integrated Google Maps API
We integrated the Google Maps API into the report generation system so selected office locations could appear directly inside each report. This allowed Office HQ to display more useful, location-specific information using their existing office and amenity data.
Added Editable Report Export
Office HQ’s reports were previously available only in PDF format. We implemented a conversion API that allows generated reports to be downloaded as editable DOCX files, giving users more flexibility to update and customise reports when needed.
Technologies implemented
Office HQ’s reporting platform was enhanced within its existing Laravel setup. Coding Sprint worked on the back-end logic, connected location-based mapping through Google Maps API, and implemented document conversion support through Convert API to make reports more useful and editable.
Project features at a glance

Reliable report generation flow
Our Approach
The project required careful work within Office HQ’s existing Laravel platform. The goal was to improve report generation, add more useful location data, personalise report outputs, and give users more flexibility when exporting documents.
Need
Office HQ needed to enhance its existing reporting platform so users could generate detailed, location-specific office reports more independently. The system had to support dynamic office and amenity data, embedded maps, personalised contact details, and editable report formats while working within the current Laravel codebase and database.
Solution
We reviewed the existing Laravel setup and resolved demo codebase issues that were preventing report generation. Our team integrated the Google Maps API to display selected office locations within reports, connected the reporting flow with existing office and amenity data, added user-specific contact details, and implemented a conversion API for DOCX exports.
Outcome
Office HQ now has a more stable and flexible report generation system. Users can create personalised reports with embedded maps, direct contact details, and editable document downloads. The platform better supports their internal workflow, reduces manual adjustments, and allows users to manage report creation with greater independence.
