BDP (Building Design Partnership) is a world-class, interdisciplinary design practice. Founded in 1961, it has grown to become the UK’s largest architecture firm, with a global network of studios. BDP is renowned for its collaborative approach—uniting architects, engineers, and specialists to deliver landmark projects in healthcare, education, and urban regeneration, all with a steadfast commitment to sustainability and social value.
In 2021, as BDP began formalising its hybrid working policies, the practice faced a complex logistical challenge. With a large workforce spread across multiple UK studios, they required a seamless system to:
BDP partnered with Team Today to centralise its hybrid work coordination. The implementation focused on three core pillars: Visualisation, Integration, and Insight.
Because Team Today lives within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, BDP’s staff found the platform intuitive from day one. This deep integration meant the firm could roll out the solution across multiple locations with virtually no formal training required.
Beyond desk booking, BDP utilised Team Today to manage essential health and safety requirements. By designating Fire Wardens and First Aiders within the app, BDP ensures consistent safety coverage—a critical component of responsible hybrid office management.
Our relationship with BDP remains highly collaborative. As the UK's leading design practice continues to scale and refine its workplace strategies, we continue to support them with new features and data insights, ensuring Team Today evolves alongside their business.
Really useful tool
Team Today has been so useful for our team to keep in the loop with everyone's whereabouts across multiple office locations and easily be able to gauge desk space. Really recommend this particularly for dispersed teams and hot desking booking purposes, It's really easy to use and handy that it syncs to the outlook calendar so prevents duplication

Simplicity & Value at its finest!
This app is just perfect for organising hot desking & meeting rooms in our office. It syncs to our Outlook and is simple enough for people to use with virtually no training, but still has the capabilities to configure it to our specific requirements. The people at Team Today are friendly, professional, and extremely helpful offering a perfect solution without being over-priced!

Indispensable Tool
Since covid by business has adopted a hybrid working policy, and we quickly realised this new way of working posed new challenges as we struggled to keep track of colleagues' whereabouts. After looking at several tools we selected Team Today because of the way it integrates with Microsoft Teams and Outlook so effortlessly and provides a clear at-a-glance view of where our staff are. The support from Team Today has always been excellent (although we've needed very little help as the platform is very reliable and easy to use). And new features are always being added which always add value to what is already a tool that has become part of our business, and certainly one we could not be without.

Really great, cost-effective tool!
Simple but very effective! They're continually developing too so there's so much more to come. Outside of using Team Today to track people's whereabouts it's a fantastic tool for managing annual leave. I transitioned our company to this (from the dreaded Excel sheets) and it's far simpler to manage; there are reports available, it's easy to change people's yearly allowances, add company/bank holidays etc. Looking forward to seeing what the next few years has in store on the development front!

Fantastic functionality & customer service
As a small charity we have had a fantastic experience using this. It is incredibly affordable. The seamless integration with Teams is very useful, we have had little-to-no teething problems across the team (which for IT related things is quite impressive!). Any time we have had an issue or question it has been responded to with efficiency. The team are extraordinarily helpful! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent App
This app was so easy to install and navigate - It's an excellent way to find out which teams are in the office on a specific day. The intuitive design and seamless functionality are a testament to the design team's understanding of their customer, and the integration into Teams is perfect. Their customer service is exceptional, with queries and requests being promptly and efficiently addressed. I highly recommend using this app to navigate the complexities of remote working and having an office. Thank you
