Desk sharing method that makes desk booking obsolete
Steerpath has reinvented the way desks sharing works. We worked with out customers to find a way to ensure desk availability to each employee coming to office without need to book desk in advance. Read more on this page how capacity booking has changed the way desk allocation and usage works in modern workplaces.
Desk booking only works if it everyone uses it - wrong. Steerpath has designed a system that focuses on getting people at the office when it creates value. Desk capacity is booked automatically for those who are coming to the office.
How is this possible without reservations?
Easy - Steerpath uses capacity booking. It gives simple view into how many desks each area has and ensures everyone arriving to each area will have a desk.
Automates the boring stuff about desk booking
Works even if 20% don’t play by the rules
Using capacity booking instead of desk reservation makes it impossible to “sit at someone’s desk” by accident. Steerpath capacity booking reserves employees who plan to visit the office a desk resource without dedicating one to any employee. Employees can sit at any desk and switch desks freely during the day.
If a person who has not planned to visit the office and thus has not received this capacity reservation sits a desk, it goes unnoticed over 98% of the time. This is because
All desk capacity is rarely fully booked per day
Steerpath analytics show that typical duration a desk is actively used varies between 2.5 and 3.5 hours per day meaning that each reserved desk is 30-50% of the times used leaving plenty of available capacity for those who forget to fill their plans.
