10 Organizations Reaping the Benefits of Office Space Management Software
Work from home or work remotely is the future of working. With fewer needs for office spaces, companies are looking for space management software to maximize the use of their desks, office stations, meeting rooms, resources, and equipment. Not everyone approves of turning their offices to shared spaces, but some companies are implementing the idea of open offices, activity-based work, hot-desking in their offices, and they love the results.
Here are ten companies that are reaping the benefits of using desk booking software in their offices:
Deloitte
Deloitte is a multinational accounting auditing, consulting firm that adopted the desk hoteling system when they moved into a futuristic and environmentally friendly building in Amsterdam. The company used space management software to optimize its 1,000 office workstations to its 2,500 employees. Instead of permanently assigned desks, its workplace is subdivided by neighborhoods for office hoteling and hot-desking saying goodbye to traditional office space seating and saying hello to on-demand workspace schedules.
Microsoft
Credit Suisse implemented a space reservation trend in many of its workspaces worldwide, including their offices in Singapore and Zurich. They sought an architectural firm Camenzind Evolution to entice and encourage employees to adapt to the open office environment. The company implemented desk hoteling to most employees regardless of their position in the company or description.

Gensler
Gensler La Crosse’s growing teams meant they would have to relocate to a bigger office. In a workplace survey conducted in 2016, they found out that a ratio of collab spaces to traditional cubicles, a centrally-located cafe, and a desk with lots of natural lighting was the most efficient way to keep teams engaged and motivated throughout the day. Joan Meyers, the Managing Director, is confident that the future of workplaces is an activity based work environment and that the company deliberated the move carefully to allocate space.
Square
Square’s open office floor plan in San Francisco allows employees to get a chance to mingle with their CEO at high top tables and their colleagues from different departments. In an open, flexible floor plan, workers have several work environments to choose from and can collaborate well with other teammates.
Citigroup
In 2015, Citigroup’s management decided to switch to an open office plan to save costs and boost communication among its employees despite hesitation. Every morning, employees can choose their desks. Including their CEO Michael Corbat who gave up his traditional office for a more flexible workstation.
