    Smartway2 for Hotel Booking

    5

    My overall experience with Smartway2 has been positive. The platform’s user-friendly interface makes managing and booking resources straightforward. Its real-time booking capabilities are convenient and enhance productivity. However, occasional glitches and limited customization options can be frustrating. Overall, it's a solid tool for improving resource management and space utilization.

    Perfect fit for our desk booking requirements

    As stated above this was required for desk booking, however we have since rolled out VR, EV and other functionality across multiple sites. We have very little support calls come through from users and overall positive feedback since the service was bedded in.

    Pros:
    The application works very well, but the support given has been exceptional. This was originally required for desk booking during covid but the business quickly took to the system and have been requesting further functionality since. The majority of, if not all, of this functionality has had tight deadlines however these have been hit due to our incredibly respondent Account Manager.
    Cons:
    It would be useful to have some communication about new features/updates coming up.

    That we could prepopulate a set of check points before employees could book a desk - This feature was valuable to support employees returning during the pandemic.
    Cons:
    A feature that would be good to incorporate is if you could be taken straight to the floor you regularly book desks on as a default instead of having to select each time.

    Imrpoved Room Utilization

    Smartway2 has reduced our no show rate by over 70% do to email reminders and signage outside of each meeting room which requires employees to check in via their security badge. We have received great value from this solution since we installed in 10 months again.

    Pros:
    Outlook integration is very easy to use - IT team were very happy! Implementation was great. We were up and running in days. Digitial signage helps us reduce our meeting no shows and increase conf room utilization. Able to book rooms and desks with one mobile app.
    Cons:
    Would like to see them provide desk signage to track utilization and check in for mobiel workers. They say its coming soon.

    Brilliant solution for managing office space post Covid 19

    5

    We've been able to be proactive and intentional about making our office space work for staff who are not able to work from home due to space or other issues. The mobile app has the same experience as the desktop app, so our team have been able to identify a safe space to work in, book it out, and understand the rules of the building. We've also been able to use SW2 for our own 'track and trace' efforts to support the safety of anyone coming into our building.

    Pros:
    What we've found most useful is the ability to customise the system to suit our needs. The rules and policy engine have allowed us to build in desk and room booking processes to communicate well with our team, and manage the space in our building safely.
    Cons:
    It needs a bit of a look and feel update as it looks a little bit dated, but we're told this is on the way.
