Desk booking has quietly become one of the most critical parts of modern workplace management. In flexible, hybrid, and multi-tenant environments, knowing who sits where, when, and why is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s essential.
That’s why we’re kicking off our 'Feature of the Month' series with one of our most-used capabilities: desk booking.
In this article, we’ll explore how Zapfloor’s desk booking software helps teams work smarter, facility managers stay in control, and offices make better use of every square metre. Why desk booking still matters (more than ever)
Flexible work isn’t going anywhere. But flexibility without structure leads to:
Empty desks next to overcrowded zones
Frustrated employees wandering around for a place to sit
Limited insight into actual office usage
Effective desk booking management bridges the gap between freedom and organisation. It gives employees autonomy, while providing workplace teams with the data they need to optimise space.
