In today’s busy world, efficient meeting booking is crucial to the productivity of any business. At MyDesk, we understand that time is a valuable resource, which is why we have developed a comprehensive platform that streamlines the entire process of booking meeting rooms, resources and services. Our solution is designed to make your workday easier, more organized and more efficient.
With MyDesk, you get access to an intuitive system that integrates with your existing tools like Microsoft Outlook and Teams. This ensures a smooth transition and minimizes the time your employees spend on administrative tasks. Our goal is to free up time so you can focus on what really matters: your core business.
Why is effective meeting booking so important?
Imagine a scenario where employees waste unnecessary time looking for available meeting rooms or important meetings are canceled at the last minute due to double bookings. These frustrations can have a significant negative impact on productivity and employee satisfaction. With an intelligent meeting booking solution, you can eliminate these challenges and create a more harmonious and efficient workplace.
A well-structured meeting booking ensures that:
- Resources like meeting rooms, projectors and video conferencing equipment are always available when you need them.
- There is a full overview of available and occupied rooms.
- Employees can easily and quickly find the right space for their needs.
- Waste time is reduced and productivity is increased.
- Meetings can start on time without technical or logistical obstacles.
At MyDesk, we’ve seen companies large and small transform their workflows with our system. It’s not just about booking a room, but about optimizing the entire meeting experience.
MyDesk’s meeting booking solution: more than just a booking system
Our platform is designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind. We offer a complete ecosystem of features that go beyond traditional meeting booking.
Integrated with your favorite tools
We know that many companies already use Microsoft Outlook and Teams as key tools for calendar management and communication. That’s why our meeting booking software is built to integrate seamlessly with these systems. You can book meeting rooms directly from your Outlook calendar, making the process intuitive and eliminating the need to switch between platforms. This integration ensures everyone is up to date and avoids double bookings.
Visual overview with 3D floor plans
Forget about confusing room layouts. MyDesk gives you access to interactive 3D floor plans of your office. This visual tool makes it incredibly easy to locate and book the perfect meeting room. You can see the room’s size, equipment and location in real-time, helping employees make informed decisions and find the optimal setting for their meeting.
Easy booking with QR codes and E-Ink screens
Technology should make life easier, not more complicated. That’s why we’ve integrated QR code booking for quick access to meeting rooms. With a quick scan via smartphone, employees can see room availability and book it on the spot. We also offer easy-to-use E-Ink screens that can be mounted at each meeting room. These screens clearly show the room status (available/occupied) and calendar overview, and also allow you to book or extend a meeting directly from the screen.
Share meeting rooms with other businesses
In multi-tenant buildings or co-working spaces, managing shared meeting rooms can be a challenge. MyDesk’s solution allows you to share and manage access to meeting rooms with other companies in the same building. This optimizes the use of your shared resources and creates a more flexible workplace for everyone.
Flexible meeting booking: customized to your needs
We understand that no two businesses are the same. That’s why MyDesk’s meeting booking system is built to be flexible and scalable to fit your unique needs.
Automatic release of rooms
Avoid no-shows and wasted resources. Our system can automatically release a booked meeting room if it is not used within a specified timeframe. This frees up resources for others who may need them and optimizes the utilization of your facilities. Read more about automatic meeting room release.
Catering management integrated with meeting booking
A meeting is often more than just a meeting, and catering plays an important role. With MyDesk’s integrated catering management, you can easily order catering for your meetings directly in the booking system. This eliminates the need for separate orders and ensures that your catering is delivered on time and to the right room. We even have an integration between MyDesk catering and Opus to make it even easier.
Guest registration for a seamless experience
Create a professional first impression with our guest registration system. When booking a meeting, you can pre-register your guests. Upon arrival, guests can easily check in and the host receives a notification. This saves time at the front desk and gives guests a seamless experience.
We also offer the option to pre-register guests directly from the mobile app, further simplifying the arrival process.
Data and analytics: Make informed decisions about your meeting rooms
At MyDesk, it’s not just about making booking easier; it’s also about giving you the tools you need to optimize your office space for the long term. Our system includes powerful workplace analytics based on sensors and IoT technology.
Gain insights into usage patterns
With our sensors, you can collect data on how your meeting rooms are actually being used. How often are they occupied? How many people typically attend meetings in a given room? What times of day are resources under the most pressure? These insights are invaluable when making decisions about layout, capacity and future investments in your office facilities.
For example, we can help you optimize energy use in your meeting rooms. Read more about how sensors can optimize the workplace and save money on power.
Optimize your space utilization
By analyzing data, you can identify meeting rooms that are underutilized and those that are overbooked. This allows you to adjust the layout, reconfigure rooms or consider creating new meeting zones that better match employee needs. Optimized space utilization can lead to significant cost savings and a more productive workplace.
The table below illustrates some of the data you can gain insight into through MyDesk Analytics:
| Benchmark | Real Utilization | Savings potential |
|---|---|---|
| Room type | Frequency of use | Average duration |
| Capacity | Occupancy rate | "No-shows" |
| Peak times | Preferred venues | Meeting attendees |
This data gives you a solid foundation for making data-driven decisions and creating the meeting rooms of the future. Read more about meeting rooms of the future.
