Product Update: Plan Your Day Ahead With Maps

Are you working hybrid and want to make sure, that you have a desk for your return to the office? Or maybe you're working a lot on the fly, and want to make sure that you have a desk for your next in-house work session? 

It has always been a hassle to go to a work desk, just to find out, that the desk is already occupied although nobody booked the desk. This is both a waste of valuable time and an unnecessary moment of irritation and friction. Although it's always been possible to book ad hoc, it's now possible to book a desk for a date in the future, in AskCody Maps (early access). 

Seamless desk booking in AskCody Maps

In today’s modern hybrid workplace, it’s all too common to walk into the office and find that every desk is taken. Maybe someone forgot to confirm their booking or reserved a spot but never showed up. These little hiccups can throw off your day, causing unnecessary stress and wasted time.

AskCody Maps is the place to get a visual representation of your office, and even more importantly, the place to find your workspace. This is not only valuable for employees, it is also a great tool for visitors, to get a quick and extensive overview of your office, which gives a real-time overview of the availability of each desk at your office.

 

How simple desk booking benefits you: 

  • Improved productivity: Finding and booking the perfect workspace has never been easier. With a user-friendly desk booking system, employees can quickly secure a desk that meets their needs
  • Cost savings: By streamlining workplace operations and optimizing the use of resources, desk booking can lead to significant cost savings.
  • Valuable data insights: Desk booking systems also offer useful data on how office space is used. These insights can be leveraged to further optimize the allocation of workspaces.

At AskCody, we believe your energy should go into getting your work done, not hunting for a workspace. That’s why we’ve made desk booking simple, so you can focus on what matters i.e. your actual tasks at hand.

 

By adding this desk booking feature, you do not only enhance your organization’s efficiency in scheduling and coordination, but also align with the growing need for flexibility in the hybrid work model. It’s another step toward ensuring that your workday flows as smoothly as possible, without the usual office irritations.

Best of all, everything works intuitively in AskCody Maps, so you can book your next work session directly from your interactive floor plan.

Thanks to the native Integration with Microsoft 365, all bookings made in AskCody Maps are immediately available in Outlook (and vice-versa!), keeping all the organization aligned and avoiding any double-booking scenarios. This adds to our vision of making the most seamless workplace management experience available.
