Key Benefits

Information relating to floor layouts, space usage, people's desks, vacancies, IT asset locations and moves/changes is on-line, easy to access, straightforward to update and immediate/real time.

The simple monitor interface allows any qualified member of staff to update their department / building – it’s easy to learn and use and they don't need to know how to use the rest of the system.

The people finder gets used by a large number of employees and any mis-matches in the data get reported quickly.

• Accurate, up-to-date headcount and occupancy figures are simple to produce.

Having an accurate view of occupancy is crucial especially if a business is expanding (or contracting). Knowing that there is optimal use of resources today is one thing but if the headcount is going up or down users can look at the future and answer questions concerning when a new building/floor will be needed or whether a lease on an existing one needs to be renewed.

• Optimal use of premises leads to significant savings in operating costs.

• Accordant Hot desking provides resource savings when people do not need to be in the office all the time.

Space allocations are done "immediately" based on current data so there is little or no ongoing “poly-lining” – and today's figures refer to today and not three weeks ago when an arbitrary desk perimeter line was drawn. Balance sheets show measured vs allocated - calculated in real time.

• Low maintenance CAD plans mean lower running costs.

Moves and changes are simple to plan and report. Drag-and drop interfaces and comprehensive, automated documentation make the process simple, controllable and transparent for users and movers alike.

• Accordant can deliver "mistake-free" moves – People go to the right desks, items don’t get "lost" and resources are better utilised.

Moves can be surveyed prior to relocation to find missing, extra or moved items to avoid surprises when the move happens.

Entire areas can be quickly surveyed using bar codes and results bulk-uploaded and queried against current records to determine moved/missing/new etc.

• If fewer mistakes are made, you don't lose time with “snagging”.
