One platform.
Every location has its own needs.

Use shared portal settings for the foundations. Keep local hours, resource types and booking behaviour at site level. Handle exceptions on individual resources.

Setup is only the beginning

When the workplace changes,
you can change askAiB.

Space changes

Update the places people use.

Create, edit or remove sites, floors and resources. Keep floorplans and resource details aligned with the actual workplace.

People change

Keep access aligned with your teams.

Manage users, roles and teams. Use automated provisioning to connect user management with your Microsoft directory.

Policies change

Adjust the rules as you learn.

Review booking notice, check-in and no-show settings, then update resource restrictions and availability as needs evolve.

Visitor journeys change

Keep the arrival experience current.

Edit invitation emails and arrival instructions. Configure the onsite check-in app’s welcome message, branding, QR, walk-in and check-out options.
