A clear view of availability

See what is booked. Find what is free.

Browse schedules by site, floor and resource. See upcoming meetings in a timeline so employees and workplace teams can find suitable space and understand demand across the day.

Flexible behind the scenes

Different rooms can follow different rules.

Boardrooms, client-facing rooms, collaboration areas and phone booths do not need to behave the same way. Configure access, lead times, approvals and availability around how each space should be used.

  • Different booking windows by room or room type
  • Preferential access for teams or user groups
  • Same-day or walk-up availability for selected spaces
  • Approval workflows where higher-value rooms need control
  • Room features, amenities and custom booking fields

Room utilisation & insights

Understand whether you have the right meeting-space mix.

Track booking demand, no-shows, room utilisation and how spaces are being matched to meeting size. Use the patterns to test whether you need more small rooms, fewer large rooms or different booking rules.

Explore workplace insights

Are large rooms being used by two people? Where are no-shows creating false demand? Which room types are hardest to find at peak times?

Worth your attention
ROOM MIXSmall rooms are under the greatest pressure.

Demand for 2-4 person rooms is materially higher than the rest of the room estate.

RIGHT-SIZINGLarge rooms are often being used for very small meetings.

Review whether booking guidance or access rules could protect high-capacity space.

NO-SHOWSNo-shows are adding avoidable pressure to peak periods.

Check-in and release rules may help return unused rooms to availability sooner.

PEAK DEMANDTuesday morning is the hardest period to find space.

Use time-of-day patterns to test whether room mix or meeting behaviour needs to change.

Room booking FAQs

Questions buyers usually ask.

Can askAiB connect to Exchange room calendars?

Yes. askAiB can connect room resources with Exchange calendars so workplace bookings and room calendars can stay synchronised.

Does it cost extra to create different room types?

No. Classify room resources as boardrooms, collaboration spaces, phone booths, offices, theatres or other categories your organisation needs, without an extra charge for the classification itself. Standard resource licensing still applies.

Can different rooms have different booking rules?

Yes. Booking windows, access rules, approvals and availability can vary by room, room type, team or user group.

Can people find rooms by capacity and amenities?

Yes. Rooms can be configured with capacities, amenities, equipment and other searchable attributes to help users find a suitable space.

Can users book or check in from a room screen?

Yes. askAiB room-screen apps support on-the-spot booking, check-in and check-out workflows for meeting spaces.

Can a room booking include visitors or other resources?

Yes. The multi-booking flow can combine different bookable resources, including rooms, desks, tables and theatres, into one booking. Visitor workflows can also be managed through askAiB.

What room analytics can we track?

Room reporting can cover booking volumes, utilisation, no-shows, room types, teams, days and times, helping workplace teams understand how the room estate is performing.
