What our customers say

What our customers have to say
“With our existing Zoom Workspaces contract ending, Essential stepped in and rapidly replicated some of the styling elements we had on our existing Zoom workspace booking system to help create a familiar UX when we migrated across to Microsoft Places.”
Mark Baldus, Infrastructure & Operations Manager, Dudek
What our customers have to say
“Essential has transformed our workspaces and car parks into intuitive, easily navigated interactive maps, making it simple for our people to select and book their ideal places when scheduling their office days.”
Ryan Arif Workplace Improvement Lead & Facilities, Ageas
What our customers have to say
“Being able to pre-book a desk close to colleagues is a game-changer for our team’s productivity, especially as we are about to be working in an unfamiliar temporary space whilst we refurb our Poole office.”
Chris Egan, Infrastructure Project Manager, Merlin Entertainments ltd
What our customers have to say
“It’s now quicker and easier for hosts to register visitors in advance and provide all the relevant information, such as whether the visitor needs escorting. Managing visitor arrivals has also been streamlined with services that include self-service check-in kiosks and automated notifications to hosts.”
