Tackling hot desking into the pandemic and beyond, with Skedda
Audinate, a pioneer in the audio-visual industry, ditched the spreadsheet for a dedicated space-management platform to manage their desk booking, and they’re not looking back!
Audinate had never used a desk-booking system prior to adopting Skedda as their space-management platform of choice. Before Skedda, the team at Audinate managed their spaces with a labor-intensive spreadsheet process – something many organizations resorted to in the early stages of the pandemic to manage a hybrid return to work.
However, after implementing Skedda, Audinate has been freed from admin-heavy processes, and their teams are free to book their spaces on-demand, effortlessly!
"The implementation was simple; we provided Skedda with our floor plan, which they loaded into the application. Then they created a desk-numbering system. You can make a desk bookable or disable it, which was very useful for social distancing. It is also easy for administrators to manage inhouse. The staff was always very helpful and prompt in responding to our initial requests for information." - Kerrie McSorley, Office Manager/Payroll Officer at Audinate
Audinate customizations include:
- Custom interactive maps
- Single Sign-On for secure, integrated platform access
- Custom quota rule in place to ensure equitable access to bookable space every day
- Booking window in place to ensure users can't book too far in advance
- Custom booking condition to enforce full-day bookings for all spaces
“Skedda is very easy to use on desktop and has SSO authentication. We like that you can add multiple offices and it met our budget. We are still using the booking system; now that the company has outgrown the office space we need to use it continuously as a hot-desking system for all of our employees." - Kerrie McSorley, Office Manager/Payroll Officer at Audinate
