Solution for Intelligent Offices extended

When Roomz launched the smart display in 2015, the start-up company ushered in a new era in meeting room management. With the help of sensor technology, the innovative Swiss engineers have since developed the display into a comprehensive solution. It can now also be used to manage workstations as well as huddle rooms and other spaces.

New space concepts demand new management solutions

The modern working world needs an intelligent control system for work environments, otherwise chaos is inevitable. Roomz founder and CEO Roger Meier confirms: "Technological developments, global networking and demographic influences have changed our work culture. Managing workspaces is increasingly becoming a key competence. New forms of work such as desk sharing, home office, remote work, co-working spaces or project-based teams must be taken into account. This is exactly where our product comes in. Our solution is based on sensor technology and intelligently connects spaces and workstations for people who want to work efficiently." With Covid-19 and its associated safeguards, the requirements for Intelligent Offices take on added weight.

Display and management software for Intelligent Offices

The solution consists of the proven display and management software that can be easily integrated into an existing IT infrastructure - for example, via Office 365 or Google Calendar. It forms the core between the booking system, displays and the desk and room sensors. Reservations can be made and cancelled in real time both on a display and via the booking software. For meeting rooms, the room sensor uses a passive infrared motion detector to check current occupancy and releases reserved but unoccupied meeting rooms or even huddle rooms after a predefined time. "This enables companies to avoid cost-intensive ghost meetings," explains Fabien Moine, Head of Marketing and Sales. "Newly, workstations can also be optimally managed and administered with the solution. Employees can book their workstations flexibly and efficiently via the booking system. Thanks to the integrated floor plan and the floorplan function, the use of space per floor or individual workstations can be displayed. Alternatively, the desk sensor can be used for management according to the . Both options serve to display occupied and free workstations in real time - an important basis for successful desksharing."

Clear signaling and valuable analyses

Most users also take advantage of the option to publish room and workstation assignments on centrally placed info screens. "As a valuable signaling tool, the visualizations increase employee satisfaction and visitor guidance. In addition, all occupancy data can be evaluated by building, floor and workstation. More generally, the data provides valuable information about the productive use of rooms and workstations. Roomz Analytics is an important tool for operational and strategic corporate management," says Roger Meier, explaining the additional added value.

Organize the return to the office after Covid-19 easier

The aforementioned features also helped companies organize the return to the office after Covid-19 in a safe and stress-free manner. The maximum capacities of the buildings can be defined in advance and employees can then use Roomz's tools to pre-book their desk up to this maximum limit. The analytics data and visualizations make it possible to monitor and adhere to spacing rules. Facility management also has access to important details and reporting on when and where cleaning operations are required.
