As more and more people move towards hybrid working, organisations face challenges in optimising their workplaces. Matrix Booking, a leading software company in the UK, recognises and understands these challenges. They have created powerful software to manage and optimise workspaces, supporting organisations of any size.

In this guest blog, Matrix Booking will highlight three common obstacles organisations face and explain how their innovative solutions can make a difference.

The challenges for workplace optimisation

With the shift towards hybrid working models, many organisations are struggling with the problem of underused office spaces. Employees are no longer tied to their desks, and the traditional office layout does not fit the needs of a modern, flexible workforce. This creates challenges in:

  • Identifying, upgrading, or repurpusing underused workspaces
  • Understanding employee needs to enhance employee experience and enable effective collaboration
  • Cost and resource management, facing unnecessary financial burdens

The solution: Workplace management software

At Matrix Booking, we address these challenges head-on by providing tools and data insights that help organisations optimise their workspaces efficiently. Read on to discover more about our solutions.

1. Workplace optimisation

Our analytics dashboards allow organisations to understand how their offices are being used. This data can be used to proactively improve the workspace, making informed decisions about space utilisation. For example:

  • Popular areas: Identifying which buildings, floors, and zones are most popular.
  • Utilisation patterns: Understanding how usage varies across sites and resources.
  • Resources utilisations: Determining which resource types are seeing the highest or lowest utilisation.
  • Team behaviours: Analysing how different teams are using the workspaces.

These insights enable organisations to plan future estates and make tactical savings by scheduling maintenance during quieter times. Furthermore, they enhance the overall employee experience by providing the resources they need.

2. Enhanced collaboration

We facilitate more than a million bookings each month. Our booking software is widely used for desk, meeting room, and other resource bookings, as well as visitor management. By offering a seamless booking experience, employees can meet and collaborate more effectively with both colleagues and external partners. This supports a productive and happy workplace environment.

3. Flexible resource management

With our workplace resource management tools, we offer the flexibility to manage resources and visitors in any type of building an organisation operates. This includes:

  • Single-occupancy buildings
  • Multi-tenant or shared buildings
  • Multi-building campuses
  • Multi-site estates
  • Buildings with or without reception desks

This lets organisations, landlords, building managers, and tenants share and manage their resources effectively. This ensures optimal use of office spaces and helps reducing costs and environmental impact.
