What is desk booking software?

Desk booking software lets people reserve a desk or workspace before they come into the office. With Team Today your team book a desk from an interactive floor plan or while setting their whereabouts, so everyone knows where they’re sitting (and who they’re sitting next to) before they arrive. More than 4 million desks have been booked through Team Today since launch.

How does hot desk booking work in Office 365?

Grab a desk for the day, AM, or PM in two clicks, right inside Microsoft Teams. As one AppSource review (April 2024) puts it: “So simple to use, desk booking is a breeze”.

Can people be in the office without using a desk?

Yes. Breakout areas sit separately from your desk stock, offering a flexible way to keep your team engaged, collaborative, and happy to be in the office, and office check-in still records who’s actually in.

Does desk booking sync with Outlook?

Yes, two ways. Bookings appear in Outlook automatically so nothing is double-booked, and leave integrates with desk booking, so absences free up desks by themselves.

Can desks be assigned to teams or individuals?

Yes. Assigned desks coexist with bookable hot desks: allocate zones to teams or departments, give individuals permanent desks, and let everyone favourite theirs. Our own data shows why favourites matter: 45.4% of regular desk-bookers sit at the same desk 80%+ of the time.

Keeps safety covered in a hybrid office

In flexible workplaces, it’s not always clear if there’s enough safety coverage, like fire wardens, first aiders, or an up-to-date office register. Team Today takes the guesswork out with forecasting and real-time reports, so you always know who’s on-site and in a critical role.

Which desks actually get used?

Heat mapping and occupancy analytics (Premium) show how your space really performs, and desk booking window controls set exactly when advance booking opens, so popular desks are allocated fairly.

Simplicity & Value at its finest!

GHGeorgia Hetherington, DVV Media

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!

Really useful tool

AMAnna Morgan (WRNA)

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

Indispensable Tool

TCTim Cunnell

Since covid my 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.
