For Total Systems Services, a division of Synovus Financial Corporation, a global provider
of commerce and payment solutions — and one of Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies to
Work For," building a new campus was an exercise in employee consensus. Agreeing on
floorcovering was easy — Interface was already preferred internally for its environmental
commitment, and carpet tiles were the clear choice to keep facilities looking fresh.
Agreeing on the design? Well, colors were tweaked. Patterns were selected. In the end,
the installation was stunning. Specifying Interface became an even smarter choice months
afterwards, when an Interface Re:Source® professional spotted delayed maintenance and
ordered a thorough cleaning, bringing the carpet back to life.
"We evaluated how often we have to go back into facilities to replace broadloom and other
'cheaper' carpet, and the bottom line is this: Any company that values their flooring
investment should only consider buying carpet tiles. Either pay now or pay later."
"Everyone loved the relationship with the Interface team, from the management to the sales
and design team. They make you feel like their only customer."
Debbie Avery,
Campus Development Manager,
Assistant Vice President,
Synovus.

Workstation
Unlike broadloom solutions, carpet tiles add visual energy to a space. Pattern-by-Tile design
is a concept that adds flexibility to an environment while adding to its aesthetic — the
structured back of Interface carpet tiles allows for a clean seam and a clean look.

Cafeteria
Flooring installed in Total System Services dining spaces is engineered to stand up to
spills — and microorganisms. This flooring is incorporated with Intersept®,
Interface's exclusive antimicrobial, and Protekt2®, our patented anti-staining
treatment.
