At MyDesk, we understand that today’s workplace is dynamic and constantly evolving. With hybrid ways of working and an increasing demand for flexibility, it’s crucial for businesses to have an in-depth understanding of how their office space is being used. That’s where our innovative workplace analytics software comes in.
MyDesk doesn’t just provide a booking system; we offer a comprehensive platform that gives you data-driven insights to optimize your office environment. By combining data from various sources, including sensors and IoT devices, our workplace analytics software gives you a clear overview of your workplace’s efficiency and potential for improvement. We help you make informed decisions that reduce costs, improve employee experience and create a more productive workplace.
What is workplace analytics software and why does your business need it?
Workplace analytics software is an intelligent solution that collects, analyzes and presents data about your office space usage. This data comes from a variety of sources, such as booking systems, calendars, and not least, sensors and IoT devices that MyDesk integrates directly into your workplace.
Imagine knowing exactly which desks are used the most, which meeting rooms are overbooked and which areas are largely empty. This knowledge is invaluable. Without workplace analytics software, you’re stuck in the dark when it comes to optimizing your physical space. We give you the tools to:
- Reduce your property management costs by identifying underutilized areas.
- Improve employee satisfaction by ensuring there are enough resources available.
- Increase productivity by designing office environments that support different work styles.
- Automate processes that free up resources that are not in use – think of automatically releasing a meeting room.
Data-driven insights with MyDesk workplace analytics
At MyDesk, our approach to workplace analytics software is all about giving you actionable insights. Our system collects data from many touchpoints in the office. This includes using our desk booking software and meeting room booking software, but also through advanced sensors that detect presence and space utilization.
We integrate this data to give you a complete picture. Our platform doesn’t just give you raw numbers, but visualizes them in easy-to-use dashboards so you can easily read trends and make strategic decisions. For example, if your workplace analytics software shows that a certain meeting room is rarely used despite its size, consider converting it into a quiet room or creative zone.
How MyDesk workplace analytics software works
Our workplace analytics software is designed for simplicity and efficiency. The process starts with data collection from your existing MyDesk systems and any sensors deployed in the office. These sensors are discrete and provide real-time data on presence in desk areas and meeting rooms. This data is merged with bookings from our booking systems, providing a nuanced understanding of actual space utilization versus planned.
Our platform processes this data and makes it available through intuitive reports and visualizations. You can view historical data, identify peak periods, and even predict future needs based on trends. We understand the importance of transparency and data integrity, which is why MyDesk stores all records for a minimum of 5 years as required by law, but you have the option to have your data deleted at any time if you wish.
| Data source | Data type | Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Desk Booking | Booking times | Desk utilization |
| Meeting room booking | Booking times | Room utilization |
| Sensors/IoT | Presence | Actual usage |
| Catering services | Orders | Resource needs |
Benefits of implementing MyDesk workplace analytics software
When you choose MyDesk workplace analytics software, you are investing in a smarter future for your workplace. Here are some of the key benefits you’ll experience:
- Optimized space utilization: Stop guessing and start knowing. Our software shows you exactly where and when your office space is being used – and not used. This insight allows you to reconfigure layouts, adjust capacity and potentially reduce costs for renting or maintaining unnecessary space.
- Improved employee experience: A well-functioning workplace contributes positively to employee satisfaction. MyDesk makes it easier for employees to find and book the resources they need, whether it’s a quiet desk for deep work or a conference room for a team meeting. Less frustration means happier and more productive employees.
- Data-driven decision making: Forget gut feelings. With our workplace analytics software, you have a solid foundation of facts to make decisions on everything from office design to investments in new technologies. You can measure the impact of changes and continuously optimize your workplace strategy.
- Automation and efficiency: Our system can automate processes. For example, a meeting room can be automatically released if sensors detect that it is not in use shortly after booking starts. This minimizes "no-shows" and maximizes the availability of important resources, thus increasing efficiency significantly. Read more about automatic release of meeting rooms on no-show here.
- Sustainability: An optimized workplace is often a more sustainable workplace. By reducing wasted space, you can also reduce your energy consumption and footprint, supporting your CSR goals. We work with partners who can provide specific insights into energy optimization, based on the data our sensors and IoT solutions provide, for example in collaboration with Energidata.dk.
We have experience helping companies like Sundhed.dk, Phillips-Medisize and CIP optimize their workplaces. Our solutions are scalable and can be adapted to your specific needs.
Integration with existing systems
One of the great strengths of MyDesk workplace analytics software is its ability to integrate seamlessly with your existing IT infrastructure. We know that ease of use and minimal disruption are key to successful implementation.
Our platform integrates with popular systems like Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams, making it easy for employees to book desks and meeting rooms directly from the tools they already use daily. This tight integration ensures that the data flow is consistent and reliable, which is crucial for accurate workplace analytics. Instead of having to learn an entirely new booking system, employees can use MyDesk functionalities directly in their familiar applications.
In addition to calendar integration, MyDesk also provides the option to use E-Ink displays at meeting rooms that show local status and booking information, synchronized with our system. This improves the user experience and provides instant information on availability and status.
| Integration | Advantage |
|---|---|
| Outlook | Easy booking |
| Teams | Booking in teams |
| E-Ink displays | Real-time status |
| Sensors/IoT | Automatic data |
