RELATED ROADMAP ITEMS: Automatic check-in via Office WiFi

For employees, check-ins are an extra step in the reservation process, often overlooked and missed. With our latest update and addition to our Presence Tracking capabilities, we aim to make check-ins instant, effortless, and efficient.

Check-in policies are usually set to fight ghost bookings and ensure the optimal usage of the workplace. Clarity about who is coming to the office or occupying a particular space is vital for deciding how to change or optimize any workplace. Through different presence tracking capabilities, any organization can rely on to ease up the employee experience and gather accurate data for admins and leaders.

The newest option we are introducing is Automated WiFi - Which works when employees have OfficeRnD Hybrid Mobile Application installed and connect their mobile devices to the WiFi network in the workplace.

The Solution:

The Automated WiFi Check-In aims to transform the check-in process into a frictionless and automatic one. We're looking at more than just a feature here – introducing an experience. With this rollout, we aspire to:

  • Ease up the settings and processes employees go through in their hybrid workplace.

  • Help admins gather and see more accurate data about office space utilization.

  • Offer a solution for organizations looking for an optimal and automated presence tracking solution that does not compromise privacy or security.

Key Benefits:

  • For Employees: No more forgetting to check in and potentially losing a desk or room. Enjoy a seamless and frictionless check-in experience when you connect to the office WiFi.

  • For Facility Managers: Reap the benefits of more accurate office utilization data to optimize real estate.

  • For Admins: A hassle-free configuration experience that minimizes complaints and streamlines operations.
