Desk booking? It’s a breeze!
Fast, easy desk booking software on any device (even Outlook!)
Prevent hot-desking failure
Did you set out to increase space utilization and improve productivity, only to find hot-desks going to waste when they’re booked in advance by people who fail to show up? Or perhaps you’re trying to boost collaboration, yet people keep booking the same desks next to the same people, day in day out?
Smartway2 takes care of all these common pitfalls and more, so you don’t have to with our hot desk booking system.
- Set simple desk booking rules so the right behaviors naturally emerge, e.g. you can’t book the same desk for more than 3 days in a row
- Use ‘Smart Desk Recovery’ to release unused desk bookings
- Improve wellbeing by making certain desks available to people with specific ergonomic needs

- Want to request a permanent desk? Approve requests and assign desks in Smartway2
