Smart office products for today’s flexible working environment

The rise of digital work and flexible working arrangements has made it so that employees can work wherever they want, whenever they want. This has led to an increase in unused meeting rooms and empty desks in office buildings.

By converting traditional office spaces into shared, flexible workspaces, businesses can maximize the use of space and transform their office buildings into buzzing collaboration hubs that align with the future of work.

Smart office solutions are user-friendly tools that allow employees to plan ahead and give them the freedom to find the space they need based on their schedules.

Smart office platforms can be integrated with different systems, including the following:

Enhance employee well-being

Technological enhancements have the power to transform uninspired offices into pleasant workspaces in which employees want to spend more time. Smart office solutions help to boost employee well-being and increase business performance by allowing for more effective collaboration.

Employees feel more productive and achieve a healthier work-life balance when they can choose when and where to work and book the spaces they prefer.

Highlights - Benefits of Smart Office Solutions

Smart office benefits for employees

Smart office products enable employees to quickly locate free meeting rooms, book workspaces that match their activities, find workspaces near a specific team or colleague, and reserve hot desks before they arrive at the office. Smart office solutions empower employees and eliminate hassles around finding and booking meeting rooms and workspaces.

Hot desking software
Gain access to valuable workplace analytics

In addition to enhancing employee productivity, smart office products are also an asset for employers because they provide insight into how people use office space and uncover opportunities for improvement. This allows you to make data-driven planning decisions.

Determine which spaces are in demand, analyze peak hours, and identify dead spaces. You can also generate reports that reveal patterns and common issues. These insights can help you make adjustments to your workplace according to shifting trends and needs while saving on costs and resources.

Improve office sustainability

Implementing a workspace and resource booking solution can significantly enhance sustainability in your business. By adopting an eco-friendly layout, reducing waste, and embracing a more flexible workspace model, along with technology-driven automations and insights, the right software solutions can help you reach your ESG goals and targets.

With smart office products, your company can maximize real estate usage and employee capacity through flexible working arrangements, requiring less office space. This leads to lower energy costs and improves your company’s ecological footprint.

How to Improve Sustainability with Resource Booking Software

 

Attract and retain talent

Smart office solutions are a hot topic among business leaders because of their power to help companies attract and retain talent. Smart office products allow companies to foster creative, collaborative, and technologically innovative workspaces that enhance collaboration and boost employee morale. Flexibility is the future and employees seek workplaces where they can do their best work without the confines of a traditional 9-to-5 office environment.

How to Attract Top Talent by Optimizing the Employee Experience
Smoothly transition to flexible seating

One of the most common complaints when offices transition from assigned workspaces to flexible seating arrangements is that the onus is on employees to identify which workspaces are available. No tools are provided to employees to quickly and easily book workspaces or find their colleagues. This can negatively impact employee well-being and cause frustration.

Smart office solutions take away the ambiguity of figuring out which workspaces are available, giving employees the ability to quickly identify and book workspaces anytime, anywhere.

Kiosk for desk booking

Eliminate the complexity of flexible work

Add-On Products helps you create a hybrid work environment where employees can easily find and book workspaces, whether they are in the office or working from home.

Boost collaboration, both in-person and virtual

Smart office solutions support teamwork and collaboration by helping employees gather on-site. Employees can quickly search for colleagues to book a space near their
teammates and collaborate while in-office. They can also book hybrid meetings that include both remote and in-office colleagues.

Book all kinds of resources

In addition to booking meeting rooms and hot desks, smart office solutions can be configured to book huddle rooms, booths, parking spots, and virtually any resource
according to your company’s needs.
