Introducing smart and flexible desk and meeting room booking

One of the great things about being in business is having the opportunity to really immerse yourself in an industry and become an expert in your field. 

For you, reading this, that industry might be within education, finances, marketing or even something really niche that your career path has led you to. For us, it’s software – our field is the workplace and our specialist subject is visitor management. 

Initially, we set out with the aim to replace traditional visitor books with a seamless, digital solution. But then, as happens in all sectors, the demands in our field continue to change and therefore the requirements of our solution have had to change with it. The workplace evolved quickly, and so Sign In App had to evolve even more quickly to keep up with what our community wanted and needed. We’ve gone from being a simple digital sign-in system to a flexible visitor management and staff sign-in solution which caters for all types of businesses, providing solutions to make your business processes easier and hassle-free (still remaining simple though).

It’s clear to us that the way we interact with the workplace has changed, and it will continue to do so. From health screening and communicating important messages to restricting access, recent new demands have changed the dynamics of the workplace forever. Particularly with the adoption of hybrid workforces which have seen an increase in popularity since the pandemic, changes to the workplace as we know it are almost inevitable. All of this has formed part of the key drivers behind the development and release of our latest feature… Spaces.

What is Spaces?

Spaces is the new, smart and flexible desk and meeting room booking solution which comes as an add-on for Sign In App. Our latest addition to Sign In App enables businesses to embrace the hybrid workforce and manage reduced site capacity by allowing staff to book desks, meetings rooms and break out areas. Spaces allows you to easily monitor who is expected on site and how your office space is being used.

Using our simple designer on the online portal, you can set up your Spaces by recreating your workplace in a few simple steps without the need for expensive consultancy fees, or, for an even quicker process, you can simply upload a floor plan. To maintain social distancing, there’s also an option to disable desks and you can set a maximum occupancy for each zone. With our mobile companion app, it’s easy for staff to book their space, whether it’s on the day or in advance. 

We strive to provide affordable tools to our community that help them manage their workplace without breaking the bank and we hope we have achieved this with Spaces. If you already have a Sign In App subscription, you can be up and running and booking your spaces in minutes, with a 12-month subscription to Spaces that will cost only £99 as an add on to your current subscription.

Although we do feel that Spaces is great value for money, to help our community and other organisations get back to the workplace, we are offering the first 12 months’ subscription free of charge for anybody who activates the feature in 2021.
