Enterprise workplace management

Make the workplace easier to use. Make the estate easier to improve.

Manage sites, resources, visitors and Microsoft 365 workflows on one platform. Compare booking activity across your estate, uncover utilisation patterns and identify opportunities to improve how space is used. Better workplace data can also inform wider efficiency and ESG plans.

Built for workplace complexity.Without making the experience complicated.

See how askAiB helps enterprises operate multiple workplaces consistently, gather comparable activity data, connect Microsoft 365 and turn estate-wide patterns into insight for improvement.

Workplace complexity

Standardise what matters. Keep flexibility where it matters.

Larger organisations rarely have one office model. Set common administration, identity and reporting standards centrally, then apply different booking rules, access permissions and resource allocations by location. Compare sites without forcing every office to operate in the same way.

01

One experience for employees

People can find and book the workplace resources they need without learning a different process for every office.

02

Different rules by location

Apply permissions, availability, approvals and allocation rules around the way each site or resource needs to operate.

03

One data foundation for improvement

Bring bookings, check-ins, visitors and resource activity into a consistent structure so patterns can be compared across locations.

Enterprise-wide workplace data

Better data should not depend on people remembering to update another system.

The value of an enterprise platform is not only that every office can use the same system. askAiB is designed to reduce the amount of manual engagement needed to create useful workplace data. Bookings, check-ins, visitor activity and connected Microsoft workflows can build a more consistent data foundation across sites, floors and resource types.

BookingsIntent and demand captured through normal workplace planning
Check-insStronger usage signals without relying on retrospective surveys
VisitorsExternal demand and on-site activity captured as part of the arrival process
Connected contextSites, floors, teams, resources and Microsoft identity data give the activity meaning

The principle is simple: the less extra work users have to do, the more consistently useful data can be captured. Booking data is still not the same as physical occupancy, so askAiB keeps different signals distinct and makes clear what the data actually shows.

WHAT THIS ENABLESReveal patterns, surface opportunities and focus improvement work where the estate is behaving differently.
One operational platform

Manage more than desks. Without stitching together separate tools.

Bring desks, rooms, parking, visitors and organisation-specific resources together. Local teams can apply the rules they need without a separate booking system for every resource type, while central teams retain a consistent view across sites.

Microsoft 365 integration

Fit the workplace into the environment your organisation already runs.

Reduce change for employees and administration for IT by connecting askAiB with Microsoft 365. Identity, booking and room workflows can work with the tools already used across the organisation.

  • Microsoft Teams workplace experience
  • Outlook and Exchange room calendar connectivity
  • Microsoft Entra single sign-on
  • Automated user provisioning and field mapping
  • Central user management with organisational data

Control without rigidity

Enterprise governance does not mean every site has to work the same way.

Create the standards that matter centrally, then configure local differences without rebuilding the platform for every office.

CENTRALIdentity + access

Control who can sign in and how organisational data is used to manage access and experience.

CENTRALCore platform standards

Keep a consistent operating model for users, administration and reporting.

LOCALBooking rules

Configure availability, restrictions, approvals and allocation around each workplace.

LOCALResources + workflows

Support different resource types and operational needs without adding another platform.

From better data to measurable improvement

Reveal the insight. Then find the efficiency gain.

More complete, consistent workplace data helps teams see what is changing across the estate and where there may be opportunities to improve. Workplace Intelligence analyses that data for demand shifts, capacity pressure, booking behaviour and underused periods, helping organisations identify where space, operating patterns or workplace policy may be worth reviewing.

Reveal capacity pressure and underuse Compare demand changes across locations Identify inefficient booking patterns Use insight to test improvement opportunities

The aim is not to automate workplace decisions blindly. askAiB helps surface the pattern and the insight behind it, so your team can test whether changes to space, allocation or operating practice could improve efficiency.

Future product direction

Connecting workplace insight with energy and ESG planning.

Today's booking, check-in and utilisation information already helps teams make better space decisions. Our next direction is to combine that foundation with additional presence and energy context, making it easier to investigate building efficiency, costs and ESG opportunities.

PRODUCT DIRECTION

More passive engagement

Explore ways to capture more reliable attendance signals through everyday workplace behaviour and connected systems, with less manual effort from employees.

PRODUCT DIRECTION

Less dependency on occupancy hardware

Investigate network-derived presence signals that could complement bookings and check-ins, potentially reducing the need for dedicated occupancy hardware in some deployments.

PRODUCT DIRECTION

Workplace efficiency planning

Bring demand, capacity, utilisation patterns and operating context together so teams can explore whether to rebalance attendance, change allocations, consolidate activity or review the amount of space they operate.

PRODUCT DIRECTION

Energy + ESG context

Our direction is to connect workplace demand with energy and cost data, helping teams investigate inefficient building operation and support evidence-led ESG and estate planning. Energy data integration is not a current product capability.

Today

Available today: booking, visitor management, Microsoft integration, reporting and Workplace Intelligence. Network-derived presence, energy-data integration and the broader energy and ESG features described here are future direction, not currently deployed capabilities.

Security & deployment

Built to get through IT, security and procurement review.

Enterprise deployment needs more than a polished user interface. askAiB combines Microsoft Azure hosting, identity integration, encrypted data and documented security controls with implementation and support options for more complex rollouts.
