Problem of incomplete data

Bookings only represent part of the office use

Companies need meaningful usage data in order to make informed decisions about office space. Relying solely on employee bookings results in incomplete data, as not everyone always uses the booking reliably. Some never book because they have a fixed space, but don't use it every day. This leads to incomplete data and often incorrect deductions.

Frequently asked questions & answers

What is a workstation booking system?

A workstation booking system is a software solution that can be used to flexibly book and manage workstations, parking spaces or other resources in the company. Instead of a fixed allocation - as we know it from traditional office concepts - this system enables desk sharing. Employees can decide for themselves when and where they want to work in the office. This ensures greater flexibility, better space utilization and supports hybrid working models.


How do you implement a workplace booking system in your company?

The successful implementation of a workplace booking system requires a digital tool such as desk.ly, which displays the office space visually and enables the central management of all resources. In addition to workstations, this also includes meeting rooms and parking spaces. Employees can book these resources independently - an important prerequisite for functioning desk sharing and flexible workplace models.

Can I use desk.ly free of charge?

You can test desk.ly with up to 15 users free of charge for as long as you like. All functions of the desk.ly Enterprise package are available to you.
