The world is changing. More and more people are working from home, sometimes all the time, sometimes part of the week or month. The workforce is becoming “hybrid” with professionals choosing to work in public spaces when needed or desired. As a result, many offices are beginning to resemble coffee shops or hotel lobbies with workers spread across a variety of spaces.
So, how to furnish these hybrid workplaces? Many companies are simply choosing to use hoteling systems to enable their workforce to work from any location at any time. But if the goal is really a mix of traditional and non-traditional workspaces, you may need more than just a desk or table – you may also need a system that can handle simple things like booking your meeting rooms. Luckily, there are now software tools for exactly this purpose.
Why Use Desk Booking Software?
Desk booking software is used to schedule individual desks or workspaces in public spaces. Similar to meeting room bookings, it enables businesses to manage their mobile workforce by controlling which desks are free and which are booked. When a workspace is booked it can be reserved for only the time required, with the option to either extend or release the booking if not required.
Desk booking software is an excellent facility for businesses operating in public spaces, particularly those with office workers who need to book traditional workspaces on a more ad hoc basis. If your company wants to create a hybrid office that can be made up of traditional desks, informal meeting areas or ad hoc workstations, desk booking software provides the perfect solution for allocating workspaces and managing bookings in real time.
A number of companies are now using desk booking apps to manage their workforce effectively. Jakprints, an international print and marketing company uses Desktime to manage its team of remote workers. Jakprints chose the system because it enables them to track employee time and performance remotely, but also ensures that their employees can work effectively in whichever location they choose.
The app also records which spaces are available at any given time for use by Jakprints employees. When employees are travelling to client locations or other offices across the country, they can use Desktime to find a nearby workspace with easily and quickly.
DeskTime works on all devices, meaning it doesn’t matter if your workforce is sat in front of a computer or working remotely from their smartphone or tablet, you can make sure that they have all the information they need.
DeskBooking Software’s desk booking system is a simple and inexpensive way for anyone to manage desk space in any office, shared workspaces or other facilities where desk or workspace allocation is necessary. DeskBooking allows you to set up a wide range of spaces – from traditional desks, to free-for-all workstations, to reserved silent or quiet spaces – and then to schedule those spaces as needed.
You can use DeskBooking’s powerful features as a stand-alone system, but it also integrates with other web based tools such as Google Calendar and Outlook. You can set up your own booking calendar in minutes – no HTML coding required.
DeskBooking is entirely web-based, meaning it can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection at any time. You also have the option to enable people to book workspaces via their mobile devices or smartphones. For more information please visit DeskBooking Software LLC.
