RETURNING TO THE OFFICE WITH CLEAROOMS
Hot desking and room management can support a new office normal.

As we move towards a ‘new normal’ for working in an office environment, it gives organisations the opportunity to review how we interact and use our workplace environments. With new regulations in place to help keep everyone safe, from maintaining distances between desks to requiring track and trace evidence and implementing flexible working, take a look at how hot desk booking and meeting room management with Clearooms can support you.

NO-TOUCH BOOKING
To avoid any concern with having to touch shared devices whilst using Clearooms to book meeting rooms, we’ve developed a new feature for users to be able to interact with the app, but from their own device. By scanning a QR code shown on the app with a phone, a user will be able to continue using Clearooms through a browser.

QR code feature
- No touching shared tablets
- Easy to activate
- Can have both options

SUPPORT TRACK AND TRACE EFFORTS
If you have the unfortunate circumstance of a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case in your office, you’ll need the tools to be able to accurately see who was in the office and where they sat, so the appropriate measures can be taken.

Custom Reporting
- Run reports of all hot desk bookings to see who sat where and when
- Check meeting room bookings for any external visitors
- Admin and Manager user roles can both access reporting
