Getting people back into the office after years of remote work is, in the view of Tribeloo, a change management problem as much as a question of space. The company makes a cloud-based desk and meeting room booking application for organizations running hybrid working, along with tools for mapping office occupancy and advice on how a workplace can change to suit its people.

Booking desks and meeting rooms

Employees reserve a desk or a meeting room in a few clicks. The company says reservations can be made directly from Outlook, and that bookings appear in Outlook or Google Calendar, so staff do not have to learn a separate diary. People can see colleagues' bookings on a map of the floor and invite them to sit nearby, which the company says helps teams that work together to come into the office on the same days.

Floor plans and team neighborhoods

Organizations can upload their own floor plans and edit them with a drag-and-drop builder. Neighborhoods can be set up so that agile teams sit together, and members of a tribe can be invited to join one another at the office. The company says floor plans can be changed on the fly without losing existing reservations, which matters when a space is reorganized during a project.

Occupancy insight and workplace planning

The software shows which areas are under-used or over-used and forecasts busy periods so that managers can plan ahead. The company states that this data helps firms repurpose space to suit how employees work, and it says office space use can rise while real estate costs fall by more than ten percent. Hybrid work optimization workshops are offered alongside the application, which the company presents as a second part of its approach.

Who the product suits

The company says its customers are organizations with hybrid or agile teams that want employees to use the office on purpose. It states that the product is used by more than twenty-five thousand employees across its client base. Its design is presented as simple enough for staff to adopt with little setup, so that people book the desks they will actually use and managers see what those bookings reveal.
