What customers get

What changes when meetings run on AskCody

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.

In practice. Olympus EMEA: guests get a welcome message 30 minutes before they arrive.

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.

In practice. A leading investment manager: the catering team estimates it saves 1 to 2 hours a day.

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.

In practice. Sandefjord Municipality: rooms are suggested to fit the number of participants, so small meetings leave the large rooms free.

Try it, and the time savings speak for themselves

“The pilot helped us understand just how much time we could give back to the attorneys and assistants and the price of that time... My best advice is to try it. You will see quickly that the ease of use, ease of management, and overall time savings are worth it.”

Dale Pollock, Conference Services Manager

Every request for a room, under one roof

“The fact that admins can manage each reservation for a room and each request that is needed for that event or meeting all under one roof really helped a lot with organizing... Everyone gets it, and we don’t have to have five or six different emails going back and forth for each meeting.”

Manager of Workplace Services

Catering, setup, AV and visitors together

“I don’t believe the other vendors can do the catering, the room setup, and AV requests as well as the visitor management piece altogether as seamlessly. Also, what we found was the AskCody user experience was just slicker.”

Ben Ashdown, Head of Technology Support and Operations

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.”

Nabil Zerdazi, IT Project Manager

The whole meeting, organized in Outlook

“By using AskCody, our employees will be able to manage the end-to-end process of organizing their own meetings in Microsoft Outlook, and easily find a workplace that will perfectly fit their needs.”

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.”

Anthony Moore, IT Director

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.”

Nané Pr’Out, Director of Information Technology

Cancel the meeting, and the room frees up

“The biggest impact I think is simply the ease of reserving conference rooms when you’re scheduling meetings... and also when you cancel a meeting, that the conference room frees up, and you don’t have to do additional steps to go into another system and remove it.”

Jesper Imhof Rosendahl, IT Project Manager

Rooms and catering in one overview

“AskCody’s platform gives us an easy overview of available rooms, as well as quick access to book catering for our meetings. Without AskCody, booking premises is ineffective, which results in a large waste of resources.”

One platform across 150 locations

“Our vision was to tailor the entire workflow for the individual employee. We now plan everything in AskCody. It is extremely easy for the individual employee to book meetings... In this way, we make the most of all resources across our 150 locations.”

Common questions before
going AskCody

How do customers get started with AskCody?

Your Microsoft 365 administrator deploys the AskCody add-ins from the Microsoft 365 admin center, first to a project team and then to everyone when you are ready to go live. The add-ins appear in Outlook the next time people open it, so there is nothing for employees to install. The AskCody project team works with you to find the right configuration, which Olympus EMEA calls a real benefit of the implementation.

Do employees have to learn a new system?

No. Rooms, catering, room setup, AV and visitors are booked from the Outlook invite they already use, and the booking lives in Microsoft Exchange. When the meeting moves or is canceled, the services and the guest list follow it.

What results have customers achieved?

Dunelm has saved 80 percent of the reception time that went to visitors coming and going. The catering team at a leading investment manager estimates it saves 1 to 2 hours a day, booking a meeting with AV, catering and visitor access went from five separate steps to far fewer, and buffer time between meetings is now automated.

How far do customers scale AskCody?

Olympus EMEA runs more than 200 bookable rooms and seven receptions for more than 2,900 active users. Sandefjord Municipality plans meetings across 150 locations for more than 5,000 employees.
