When the calendar says a meeting will happen, reality agrees

AskCody is the Meeting Management Platform for Microsoft 365. Rooms, catering, AV and visitors are booked from Outlook, so when a meeting moves or is canceled, every team behind it already knows.

The real meeting problem

Booked is not the same as ready

A meeting changes: from 10:00 to 14:00, and to another room. The calendar updates. The systems behind it don't.

Catering has the old time. AV sets up in the wrong room. Reception expects the guest at 10:00.

Small gaps add up fast, and workplace teams fix them by hand, one email and one phone call at a time.

A client meeting moves to 14:00 in Outlook while catering, AV and reception still work from the old plan, then the rest of the day piles on, each change on another team’s list
AskCody is for the teams behind every meeting

One booking. Every team in sync.

AskCody connects facilities, catering, reception, AV and IT, and finance to the same booking in Outlook. When a meeting is booked, moved or canceled, the room, the services and the people behind them move with it. No emails to chase, no lists to reconcile.

Why AskCody

Why do organizations choose AskCody?

Meetings are where deals are won, decisions are made and guests meet your company. AskCody looks after everything that happens after the booking, so meetings start on time, the teams behind them stop chasing changes, and fewer rooms and orders go to waste.

It holds because AskCody is native to Exchange. The room calendar is the single source of truth: no separate database, no copy to keep in sync, so every team works from the same booking. How AskCody works with Microsoft 365

Animated illustration: a client visit at 09:00. Facilities sets up the meeting room, catering delivers coffee, the guests check in at reception, and the meeting starts on time.
Meetings start on time

The room is set, the coffee is in and the guests are checked in before the meeting begins.

For the business: client meetings open on time.
For your people: hosts walk in prepared.
For your guests: a welcome that says you expected them.

Animated illustration: a board meeting is moved from 10:00 to 14:00 in Outlook, catering, facilities and AV are updated with it, nobody has to chase the change, and the meeting starts on time.
Your teams get their day back

When a meeting moves, catering, facilities and AV move with it. Nobody has to chase the change.

For the business: service hours go to service.
For your people: calmer days, fewer interruptions.
For your guests: everything is right at the new time.

Animated illustration: nobody checks in to a 10:00 booking, so the room is released and another team uses it; a canceled meeting cancels its lunch order; every order is settled to the right cost center.
Nothing goes to waste

Rooms nobody shows up for go back to people who need them, and canceled meetings take their orders with them.

For the business: more from the space you pay for.
For your people: a free room when you need one.
For your sustainability goals: less catering for meetings that never happen.

The power back in the hands of the user

“AskCody simplifies the booking process. It gave the power back to the user rather than a ‘wait and see scenario’... AskCody gave us visibility into all the available resources, and that’s great. That was at the core of what we needed.”

Ten bookers used to mean ten ways to book

“Ten different people booking a meeting resulted in ten different ways of creating a meeting, and everything that goes with it... With AskCody employees can now book rooms and request services themselves, and it gives them a kind of self-service aspect where they can take control of their own meetings.”

A reception that is ready before guests arrive

“The benefit of AskCody is that we are all a lot more prepared. The receptionists are not struggling to gather visitor information, which has streamlined the whole process and made it much easier for the receptionist and a better experience for our visitors.”

80 percent of reception time given back

“In general, the AskCody benefit is the time savings and removing the daily frustrations around meeting planning. The biggest benefit until now is that we have saved 80 percent of the reception time, which was taken up with dealing with visitors coming and going.”
