- Automatically routing requests to the relevant people (both internal & external)
- Letting you tailor the resources & services you wish to make available
- Applying role based policies for automatically accepting (or intercepting) requests
- Making different resources available according to room/location/timing
- Tracking amendments & cancellations to avoid waste

Easy Meeting Room & Facilities Booking
Save time & effort for your workforce
Order additional services in under 2 minutes and at the same time as booking a meeting in Microsoft Outlook calendar.
Quickly locate your optimal workspace and then request any additional services from an intuitive form:
- Select catering choices & service timings
- Choose different seating layouts
- Request AV equipment & teleconferencing services
- Arrange visitor badges, parking spaces & more.
Easily amend requests
Meeting organisers can view a list all their requests in one place, making it easy to make any changes. Meeting reminders are emailed to enable any changes, such as a reduction in visitor numbers.
Any changes are automatically sent to service providers, helping avoid waste (such as over-catering).
Keep track of costs
Any costs associated with services (such as catering) are automatically totalled as you go.
Users of the system can also be prompted to supply any necessary cost centre information (e.g., from a drop-down menu).
Add meeting requests later
Sometimes it’s handy to secure a meeting room and think about the catering etc. you’ll need later.
Not a problem. Just click on a link in a confirmation email (or view a list of all your meeting requests via an optional Outlook add-in) and you can add new requests and make amendments to existing ones.
Handle recurring meetings
You have a recurring meeting and just need to cancel one instance? Again, it’s not a problem.
Simply cancel the order using Outlook Calendar and any automatically ancillary resource orders are automatically cancelled.
Advanced Resource Management for the FM Team
Streamline service provision
Make it easy to respond to meeting & facilities requests
Ensure service and resource requests are automatically sent to the relevant service provider: Seating layouts & equipment requests to the porter, visitor details to reception/security staff, catering requests to the hospitality team, and so on.
Streamline the process further by automatically processing requests according to policies you set. For example, you might only auto-accept orders for executive meeting rooms from PAs and directors.
Cope with complex service requests
Order forms can easily be tailored to reflect all the different catering options, special requests and services you want to offer.
This includes the ability to request a series of different service times (coffees on arrival, break, lunch and afternoon refreshments).
Forms can be vary based on individual meeting rooms, locations – even country – to reflect the different services available. You can also route requests to different service providers, e.g., an external caterer at smaller offices and an internal catering team at HQ.
Create automatic policies
Define policies to govern how requests are handled:
- Make catering orders subject to 2 working day’s notice
- Automatically substitute afternoon menu items if a breakfast meeting is moved to the afternoon
- Only allow certain facilities dependent on role & make anything else subject to approval
For example, you might only auto-accept orders for executive meeting rooms from PAs and directors.
Track & cross charge costs
An array of reports are available or can be customised to meet your specific resource management needs.
All service request can be made subject to the provision of a suitable cost code, which can be used as the basis of internal charge-back.
Tailor to reflect the services you offer
A wizard lets you create order forms for virtually any service including catering, service times, AV equipment, table arrangements, visitor passes, parking & a range of other internal or external services.
A running total and cost-centre information lets you automatically charge requests.
