This DeskFlex beacon iot feature also serves as social distancing management software. Authorized users can see their upcoming meetings for a specific space and even book a workstation through the touchscreen. On the other hand, this beacon booking allows offices and organizations to have a much more systematic procedure, where everyone can do it either in the offices or outside and at any time.
Check-In and Check Out
The check-in and check-out features help maintain the reservations that are in use. In addition, the DeskFlex beacon iot software solutions also include an Auto-Cancellation option. If the user does not check in within 15 minutes, the reservation will automatically be canceled, and the workstation will open to other users.

As this feature leaves commendable returns for the offices and organization in terms of distanced booking, here is further info on what DeskFlex Bluetooth beacon iot technology comes with:
- Wall mount options for both glass, wood, and drywall.
- The beacon features a blue stylistic light that shows the availability of Bluetooth-connected devices.
- Connects to mobile devices via Bluetooth.
- Available in Black & White casing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Bluetooth beacon technology uses small, battery-powered devices that send out signals using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). When your phone or tablet with the DeskFlex app gets close, it detects the signal and can trigger actions like showing a room’s schedule or sending a check-in reminder based on your location.
Yes. As more organizations adopt IoT-based workplace solutions, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacons are essential in resource monitoring, proximity-based services, and automation. They’re lightweight, low-power devices that integrate seamlessly into smart-building ecosystems, making them a key part of next-generation space-management strategies.
A beacon is a small BLE transmitter that continuously broadcasts a unique identifier. When a smartphone or tablet with a compatible app comes within range, it picks up the beacon’s signal and triggers location-aware actions, such as displaying a room’s schedule or checking you into a space.
Common uses include:
- Indoor wayfinding (guiding visitors through expansive facilities)
- Contextual notifications (pushing relevant info to users based on location)
- Asset tracking (keeping tabs on equipment and inventory)
- Automated check-in/out (in offices, hospitals, airports, event venues)
- Occupancy sensing & social distancing (ensuring safe space utilization)
Beacons solely transmit information; the mobile device performs most of the work. The app measures signal strength (RSSI) from nearby beacons and uses that, often alongside other sensors, to estimate your proximity and trigger the appropriate action or update.
Organizations across sectors leverage beacons, including:
- Corporate offices (for desk/room booking and check-ins)
- Retail chains (to send in-store offers or guide shoppers)
- Healthcare facilities (to track equipment and manage patient flow)
- Airports & transit hubs (for wayfinding and real-time alerts)
- Event venues (for attendee check-in and personalized experiences)
Beacons are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and simple to deploy. They provide real-time indoor location awareness, where GPS falls short, and can power everything from contactless check-in to hyper-localized messaging, enhancing operational efficiency and user experience.
