Assign desks efficiently on day one
Workspace Setup enables Facilities teams to manage physical office assignments during the critical first-day onboarding phase. This function ensures new employees receive accurate desk allocations, equipment requests, and access credentials before they arrive. By integrating with time-attendance systems, it automates badge provisioning and room availability checks, reducing front-desk workload and preventing scheduling conflicts. The goal is a seamless transition where staff can begin work immediately without logistical friction.
Facilities managers utilize this module to map employee IDs to specific office zones, ensuring compliance with safety protocols and ergonomic standards set by the enterprise operations team.
The system automatically triggers notifications when a desk is reserved, allowing IT and HR to prepare necessary hardware and software installations prior to the employee's arrival time.
Integration with time-attendance gates ensures that only authorized personnel can access assigned workspaces, maintaining security while streamlining the check-in process for new hires.
