Hoteling - Flexible Workplaces

Save money, track resources with hoteling

Recent studies of knowledge workers indicate they spend less than 40% of their time in the office, and no longer require assigned workspace.

With the increasing price of commercial real estate, leading organisations must find ways to more effectively and efficiently maximise the use of office space. Many organisations are implementing hoteling solutions where employees can reserve their spot for a specified period of time through a self-service portal.

With the Planon hoteling solution organisations can keep track of all of their resources.

  • Employees can reserve spaces either in person or online by their name/number or by looking at a blueprint of the office and visually selecting a workspace.
  • Required services and resources, such as phone service or lab equipment, are then routed to the space to ensure the employee has the tools to complete their job.
  • Provides clear visibility into employees’ locations and enables efficient assignment of services.

Using Planon’s hoteling solution, organisations can save money through the more effective use of their office space.
