What is hot desk booking software?

Hot desk booking software lets employees see available workstations, reserve a desk for a day or slot, and check in from mobile, web, or on-site devices. It supports flexible and hybrid office layouts.

How does desk booking work for hybrid teams?

Team members book before they arrive, view live floor plans, and policies like auto-release return unused desks so others can use them.

Can employees book desks from their phones?

Yes. Offision offers mobile apps and web access so people can find and book desks from anywhere.

What is the difference between hot desking and hotel desk booking?

Hot desking is often same-day flexible seating; hoteling reserves a desk ahead for one or more days. Offision supports both patterns with configurable desk types and rules.

How does Offision prevent double bookings for desks?

Real-time availability and booking rules ensure a desk cannot be assigned to two people at once, with optional check-in and auto-release for no-shows.
