“Call answering, message delivery, mail handling, document services, access to courier, hotel booking, and transport services are other benefits Clock In offers its clientele,” the company said.

Accler8 co-founder Mikko Barranda said they would be in charge of operating the Clock In Center.

Ayala Land said its venture into serviced offices is driven by the growth of startup companies in the country.
