There's a question that gets asked in almost every hybrid team, every single day.
"Is anyone actually in the office?"
It gets typed into Slack channels. It gets answered with shrugs or guesses. And when it matters most, during a fire alarm or a security incident, nobody really knows for certain.
Team Today's Automatic Office Check-In fixes that, without asking your employees to do a thing.
When a device connects to your office Wi-Fi, your IT team sends a simple API call to Team Today with a unique device identifier and the network name. That's it.
Team Today logs the check-in, matches the device to the right team member and updates their whereabouts for the day. No app to open, no button to tap. Just walk in, connect, and you're marked as in.
It works across multiple sites too. Each network maps to a different office, so you always know which office someone is working from rather than just that they're "in."
Manual whereabouts updates depend entirely on people remembering. And on a busy Tuesday morning when everyone's running late for a 9am, that's the first thing to go.
The result is a whereabouts board that's accurate on Monday and guesswork by Thursday.
Automatic check-in cuts that out entirely. Because it's tied to something people already do when they arrive, the data just stays current.
There are two situations where reliable presence data stops being a nice-to-have.
Emergency headcounts. If something happens in your building, you need to know who was physically there that day, not who planned to be in. Automatic check-in gives office managers a real-time record they can pull up immediately rather than chasing people on their phones.
Office utilisation reporting. Working out how your space is actually being used requires data you can trust. When check-ins happen passively, your usage reports reflect what's really going on. That's what makes conversations about desk ratios and office policy worth having.
For your IT team it's a single API call from your network management tooling when a recognised device connects. No complex setup and no ongoing work to maintain it.
For your employees there's nothing at all. No new tool to learn and no new habit to form. It just runs in the background.
Automatic Office Check-In sits alongside Team Today's other hybrid tools including desk booking, leave management, Schengen travel tracking and manual whereabouts updates, all inside Microsoft Teams.
If you want a reliable picture of where your people are working, this is the part that makes the rest of it trustworthy.

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
