Flexible Booking with Pooled Resources

More companies are focused on flexible working, where fixed workstations are no longer commonplace. Efficient and easy-to-use desk booking solutions are becoming a way to control work environments in offices to ensure available workspaces for all colleagues.

With pooled resources you can book a desk that is part of a group of resource, instead of a desk with its own specific calendar. When you arrive at the office, you will be able to choose any free desk within your booked pool. Use pooled resources for desks, parking spaces or any other equipment.
