Meeting and Room Scheduling Software

EMS: Room Scheduling Software Made Easy

Room and resource booking can be confusing or hard to get right – but it doesn’t have to be with EMS. Using EMS room scheduling software, users can easily reserve or request spaces and services in the way they prefer, whether that’s using a mobile device, a calendar tool such as Microsoft® Outlook, or an on-location touchscreen kiosk or digital sign. This can help users:

• Connect with your favorite apps and tools
• Easily schedule in an in-office and at-home hybrid work environment
• Optimize space utilization
• Get your real estate costs under control
• Schedule on-the-go with mobile devices
• Avoid overcrowding and facilitate social distancing
• Gain access to real-time employee data

These features can ultimately increase your ROI and help drive better business decisions.

How Room Reservation Software Works

With EMS’ room reservation software, finding and claiming a meeting space is an easy, three-step process:

1. Book the space. Find the ideal space to meet, with all the resources (video conferencing, catering, etc.) you need for a successful meeting. EMS integrations with Microsoft and Google calendars make inviting the right people a breeze.
2. Check in to the room. Claim your space via mobile app, digital room sign or modern web app – whatever is most convenient.
3. Check out of the room. The space automatically frees up when your meeting is over. And if your gathering ends early or is canceled, you can easily release the space so it’s available to others.

Measurable Benefits of Implementing EMS Room Scheduling Software

Allow for Effective Social Distancing

Using EMS meeting room booking system, you can block off bookable spaces and use digital signage and mobile booking options to facilitate visitor management and set room capacities. This can not only avoid overcrowding but also facilitate social distancing efforts. At the end of the month, use this information in reports to help you understand your utilization, how spaces are being used, and if additional sanitation is necessary.

Improve Space Utilization and Real Estate Costs

Getting your space utilization under control is important if you want to manage your real estate costs and make the most out of your organization’s square footage. Using EMS room scheduling software, you can gain real-time insight into your utilization metrics. This can help inform budgets, streamline scheduling and increase real estate ROI.

Industries and Use Cases

University Spaces Scheduling

In higher education, room and space scheduling software can be used to measure utilization, reduce double bookings and enforce social distancing guidelines in a variety of spaces, including collaborative huddle spaces, bookable conference rooms, mixed-use workspaces, event halls, rentable rooms, classrooms, study desks, meeting rooms and elective spaces.

Corporate Space Scheduling

In the corporate environment, you need to effectively manage spaces in a post-COVID-19 environment, which calls for increased safety measures, space utilization tracking, employee tools to facilitate social distancing and more. With EMS, you can develop a sustainable strategy that can provide the visibility, collaboration and control your team needs to thrive.

Co-Working Space Scheduling

The co-working office space is extremely popular, but difficult to manage and decidedly risky in a post-pandemic era. The right room scheduling software and space management tool will help monitor capacity, ensure social distancing, provide automations and more.

Meeting Room Booking System

Streamlined meeting room booking is essential to any organization working in-office or in a hybrid environment as many events – including presentations, evaluations, board meetings, department meetings and analytics meetings – require pre-booked meeting rooms. EMS meeting room manager software simplifies this process, avoiding conflict, double-booking, interruptions and scheduling difficulties. Ultimately, this can reduce friction and maximize the workflow process.

Conference Room Scheduling Software

EMS users can easily navigate bookings and availability in conference rooms, identifying free rooms, understanding the assets and tools available in those rooms and communicating with relevant team members about meeting times and updates.

Facility Scheduling

You can also use EMS to more broadly manage your facility spaces. Specifically, EMS administrators can easily track reservations and bookings, check room utilization and the duration of usage, monitor which team members are booking at a specific location and more.

Video Conferencing

Video conferencing has become an essential component of the modern workplace. EMS can integrate with all of your video conferencing tools, including Skype for Business, Polycom, Cisco TMS, Zoom and Microsoft Exchange.
