2024’s Top 5 customer favorites

In 2024, we focused on enhancing the platform with updates that truly make a difference for your workplace. While we rolled out dozens of new features to support your success, three updates emerged as clear favorites among customers, making the biggest impact on your day-to-day work:

1. OfficeRnD Visitor Hub: Every guest is a VIP

This year, we launched OfficeRnD Visitor Hub to transform how you manage guests and deliveries.

With features like pre-registration, one-click check-ins, instant host notifications, and customizable security settings, the Visitor Hub streamlines visitor sign-ins while enhancing workplace safety. Boost security with Custom fields, Flows and Documents. Say goodbye to paper logs and hello to a professional, all-in-one visitor management system!

2. OfficeRnD Data Hub: Smarter insights for better decisions

This year, we unveiled OfficeRnD Data Hub - a powerful analytics platform powered by Google Looker.

With lightning-fast performance, refreshed data every two hours, and enhanced filtering, you can now easily interpret workspace metrics. Export data in PDF or CSV, schedule reports, and set automated alerts. The Data Hub empowers admins with customizable dashboards for truly data-driven decisions.

3. Elevate collaboration with meeting room service requests

In the begining of the year, we introduced Meeting Room Service Requests, transforming how meetings are organized.

Now, users can request catering, extra equipment, or room setups seamlessly when booking a meeting space. Admins gain centralized management, full visibility, and customizable options to tailor services per location or team. This feature saves time, enhances collaboration, and ensures every meeting is perfectly prepared for success.

4. Simplify team coordination with Bulk Booking

With the new Bulk Booking feature, team collaboration is now more streamlined than ever.

Admins and team leads can reserve desks for up to 25 users at a time or other resources (except meeting rooms), saving valuable time. This functionality fosters teamwork by seating colleagues together, enhances office space utilization, and boosts team satisfaction. Bulk Booking is the perfect solution for a more connected and productive workplace!

5. Streamline Guest Experiences with Visitor Bookings

With the new Visitor Bookings feature, you can reserve desks and other resources (excluding meeting rooms) for your guests, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free visit.

Available via the Web Portal, MS Teams, and the OfficeRnD Chrome Extension for Google Calendar, this feature also offers configuration flexibility and automatic pre-registration through the Visitor Hub. Visitor Bookings is the perfect solution for simplifying planning and enhancing guest satisfaction.

What we’re most excited about next year!

2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for OfficeRnD Hybrid, and we can’t wait to share what’s on the horizon! First, we’re exploring an exciting integration with Cisco Meraki to automate workplace presence and utilization tracking, making office attendance seamless for employees and admins alike. Later in the year, we’ll introduce tools to gather and analyze employee satisfaction, empowering organizations to create more engaging and productive workplaces. To bolster data privacy, we’re launching features to anonymize historical data in compliance with regulations like GDPR. The Visitor Hub will also see upgrades, including enhancements to the Deliveries module and ongoing efforts to remove common blockers. These updates reflect our commitment to innovation and your evolving needs—stay tuned for another year of groundbreaking advancements!
