Hybrid work has changed the way we use office space. The biggest frustration for employees: finding an available meeting room or a quiet place to have a call, leading to lost productivity and collaboration friction. To accommodate to the needs of the employees Mapiq introduces the Kiosk solution. Boost collaboration and spend less time searching for rooms and focus on more meeting time and innovation. Reduce friction by simplifying the process of available spaces. Finally, maximize office utilization and help make better use of the office spaces and reduce bottlenecks and underutilized rooms.
By leveraging the sensor data the Kiosk solution is especially powerful in visualizing available ad-hoc rooms. Insights in the ad-hoc rooms allow you to use a room on the go, without the need to book the room.
The solution
The Kiosk solution allows you to visualize available meeting rooms broadcasted through a web URL in an available digital signage software. Meaning that as a user has easy accessibility without the need to open or install an app on their personal device. Administrators of Mapiq can easily configure a customized view of the floorplan and broadcast it to physical devices located throughout the office, giving employees valuable insights about available rooms on the fly. For each kiosk device you can configure and prioritize specific meeting rooms that are nearby.
Availability is based on sensor data, booking data is not taken into account.
Enjoy friendly configuration
Setting up your customized kiosk view is as easy as configuring three elements:
Locate: strategically place the kiosk in your office and configure this in your floorplan.
Customize: configure your view, specifying specific rooms only and highlight nearby located rooms by prioritizing them.
Connect: easily connect to your device through an easy to use authentication code leveraging Oauth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant.
Take your user experience to the next-level and make available meeting rooms easy to find!
