Business Furniture Solutions from Karo
At our company, we understand that purchasing business furniture is expensive, so it is important to ‘get it right’. To assist you in avoiding costly errors, we offer a Total Solution that is based on the following core principles:
1. Professional Sales Consultants
Our sales consultants are business furniture experts. They are accredited practitioners in workplace ergonomics and by using our unique WorkRite© program, they are able to scientifically evaluate your existing workstation setup and help you understand the importance of a good sitting posture. Due to their specialist knowledge in workplace ergonomics, they are able to recommend office desk and chair solutions that best meet your needs, and budget. Should you alternate between sitting and standing at work?

2. WorkRite©
Our exclusive WorkRite© program provides a holistic solution to your business furniture needs. WorkRite© uses a 4-step approach.
- We begin by conducting a detailed analysis of your workplace. This initial stage is critical to identify your specific needs and operating parameters. Are you looking for business furniture for a laboratory, office, home, gaming setup or call centre? How many hours per day will it be used? Who will be using the products? Is a mesh office chair suitable?
- In the second step, we use this information to recommend only those products that best meet your requirements.
- The third stage in WorkRite© is devoted to training you and/or your employees to correctly use the products and provide advice on workplace health, ergonomics and product care. On our company website, our extensive Knowledge Center offers valuable advice on all aspects of business furniture and ergonomics.
- To complete the program, we assist with the on-site installation, setup and rubbish removal.
This detailed program ensures that you get the maximum benefit and return on your investment.
