Teem’s user-friendly room scheduling software connects with iPads, Android and Crestron room displays. Many organizations mount digital room displays outside of meeting rooms so employees can quickly see current and upcoming events, as well as view capacity, equipment and other important room information.

Returning to the office

What features can I use to improve employee safety following COVID-19?

Teem’s Return-to-Work Starter Kit is a complete package of solutions to help you protect the health and well-being of your employees and guests.

It makes your visitor and space reservation management simple and efficient. Put guests at ease with our visitor management software to streamline check-in, reduce waiting times and remove touchpoints. The kit includes desk booking and room reservation software, so your employees can book in advance or create reservations on-demand. We also offer sensor integrations that can help you automate cleaning and sanitization processes, so you can minimize risk and keep your shared workspaces safe.

Can I use Teem from home?

Yes. Teem software is cloud-based, so you can use it from home or on the go. While companies primarily use Teem to manage space within offices, you can also use Teem to check how busy the office is from your phone, or book an available desk or conference room for upcoming work.

On your way to the office and realize you forgot to book a room for an upcoming meeting? Teem makes it easy for you to find and reserve rooms whether you’re on the subway or booking a space from the parking lot.

How can I use Teem to transition my employees back to the office?

When you’re ready to reopen your offices, Teem is here to help you return safely. Our Return-to-Work Starter Kit is easy to implement and has everything you need to protect your employees and guests when you come back.

This three-in-one solution includes visitor management, room reservation and desk booking software to support your flexible workplace, whether you’re returning in phases, varying shifts or you plan on allowing a limited number of employees to work in the office.

Can I use Teem to anticipate high-touch traffic areas in the office?

Yes. Teem aggregates anonymous usage data so you get easy-to-understand insights based on scheduled versus checked-in room and desk reservations, and gives you dynamic recommendations based on how people are actually using your space. For instance, you can review the average attendee count, meeting no-show rates, and visitor traffic in your lobbies.

You can also partner with sensor vendors to get the most out of Teem’s workplace insights. Not only will you have highly accurate meeting occupancy data, but you’ll also be able to see which huddle spaces or common areas have the highest traffic.

Space Booking

What is space booking?

Space booking helps enhance personal productivity and offers more opportunities for team collaboration. Space booking tools are used to synchronize, access, and manage room and desk reservations in a single, centralized schedule.

Does Teem’s space booking software work for huddle spaces?

Teem’s space booking software works for any type of space you’d like to make reservable — including your huddle spaces.

Can I set up hot desking or desk booking with Teem?

Absolutely. Our desk reservation system gives employees the flexibility and autonomy to book desks on-demand, on the go, and in advance. We support many different types of seating arrangements and reservation models.

Is hoteling the same as desk booking?

Desk hoteling is one method of desk booking. It’s a more advanced desk reservation system that lets your employees choose their own seat ahead of time, giving them more control over their workspace. Plus, it eliminates the concerns over having a desk available when people do come into the office. Desk hoteling also helps simplify your space management by providing advanced space utilization information and the ability to see who was in the office and when.

Will I be notified when someone leaves the desk they’ve booked?

Real-time desk availability is synced and broadcasted across Teem’s booking surfaces. Whether looking for desks on your mobile phone, email plugin or even a large map kiosk, you’ll always know the latest status for every space connected to Teem.

Employees won’t receive a push notification when desks are released or when reservations end, which helps cut down on information overload.

How will I know when spaces are available?

In general, you can filter for available spaces by specifying space type, reservation time and amenities. Teem will display reservable desk, conference room and office spaces that meet your criteria with green accents.

What metrics does Teem’s workplace analytics software track?

Teem collects several metrics as your employees use the platform, all without setting up extra hardware or integrations. Some of these metrics include counts of your meetings, participants and visitors, as well as hours utilized and the percentage of no-show meetings.

Does Teem’s workplace analytics software generate reports?

Teem makes digesting all of your captured data and metrics easier than ever. From your admin dashboard, the Insights feature automatically calculates and translates the metrics you need into plain language reports that provide actionable analysis. Answer questions like “How many meetings go unattended?” and “How many visitors have we had?” Customize your reports to look at individual rooms or entire campuses and get an even clearer picture of how your space is being utilized.

Navigation & Wayfinding

What is wayfinding?

Workplace wayfinding tools help people find the spaces and people they’re looking for and quickly navigate to their intended location. Think of wayfinding software as an office GPS that shows where people, places and things are located around your workplace.

Can I integrate wayfinding data into my workplace analytics?

Currently we don’t offer this option. However, Teem’s Workplace Analytics shows how your space is being utilized, and you can customize your reports to look at individual rooms or entire campuses.
