Room & Resource Booking Software for Outlook

Microsoft Outlook calendar is the ideal platform for scheduling meetings with co-workers and booking meeting rooms. However if you want to book catering, seating layouts, presentation equipment etc, you'll find that native Exchange resource management lacks any advanced functionality.

Resource Central is the only solution developed specifically to enhance Exchange and Outlook to improve how your company books, uses and reports on its critical resources.

Whether it's booking meeting rooms, car parking spaces, 'hot desks', conferencing facilities, AV equipment or catering, Resource Central helps streamline the whole process, saving time and money and avoiding waste.

'Behind the scenes', defining resources, including photos, seating options and different attributes, and supporting complex requests such as catering timings, cost centre information, visitor pass requests, etc, is really easy.

On the desk top, end users can simply browse and select the resources they need from within Outlook calendar, with side-by-side views of co-worker and room/resource availability, default 'resource favourites' based on their Outlook location in AD and much, much more.

Service providers such as FM and catering staff automatically receive any orders and updates and can view a list of all the latest requests for the day or week, so there's no need to keep track of email threads.

You can also generate management reports to show how well your resources are being used.

Working hand-in-hand with Resource Central is Resource Xpress, our touch-screen booking system that gives at-a-glance visibility of all room bookings, ad-hoc bookings in real time and accurate room utilisation using on-screen check-in/check-out.
