Efficient workplace management via app

Efficient and sensible WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT is appreciated by many employers and is even necessary with a view to sustainable building management. The “New Work” has brought new challenges for employers. For example, mobile working is increasingly leading to fully or partially unused office space. One component that is directly affected by this is media consumption, with a particular focus on heating and air conditioning: whether these are switched on for one person or for a dozen – they are running.

The social component of “dispersed employees” is a factor that can have a negative impact on internal communication: Employees sit isolated from others and it is sometimes not clear who is in the office and when. By consolidating work zones, consumption such as isolation can be specifically avoided or optimised. Systematic optimisation measures increase user satisfaction, simplify administration and save resources.

If you use Workplace Management independently, the master data is created directly in the application. If you use the web app with FAMOS, the data is easily synchronised.

In the next step, work zones and workstations are defined or assigned with detailed information (e.g. location, equipment, directions or tags). Coordinates are also determined in order to localise workstations and zones on the map view. The administrators also define rules, such as opening hours. End users can only reserve workstations and zones that have been authorised by their specialists.

Users reserve/book required workstations or zones (e.g. areas) early or spontaneously as required. Depending on the desired location and/or date, free capacities can be quickly viewed using the booking overview. The map view provides directions. Thanks to the system’s constantly updated booking data, employees are informed about available workspace capacity even at short notice. The booking is activated via the “Check Inn button” in the app or manually on site by scanning a QR code at the workstation. This means that spontaneous bookings can also be made directly at the workplace if you are already on site.

Details in the descriptions, tags as well as search and filter functions help you find the optimal/ideal workspace (location, volume, equipment, etc.) for any period of time. Reservations can be easily created, changed and cancelled; if the desired workspace is free, it can be booked earlier and extended. Preview and booking history clearly show all your own reservations and bookings. Saving user preferences,e.g. location and equipment, as well as repeating bookings simplify handling for the user enormously, and after a booking it is possible to rate the workplace.
