Added value

‍

Social collaboration: the heart of deskbird

deskbird starts strongly highlighting the social aspect of the office environment. It's designed not just as a tool for booking desks and meeting rooms like Gingco does but also as a platform to improve and facilitate collaboration among employees. With deskbird, users can book desks near their favorite colleagues and track where team members plan to work. 

‍

Bringing people back to the office

deskbird's feature lets employees see which days are popular, reducing 'ghost-days' and commute time and encouraging a stronger office presence. Customers have been enjoying this feature since day one! Gingco, on the other hand, does not offer employees a weekly status setting or colleague overview so they can make better decisions about when to come in.

‍

Intuitive and easy to use 

By offering a modern user interface with a simple, intuitive design, deskbird appeals to the "new generation" of employees. In contrast, Gingco's interface might resonate less with younger teams or those seeking a fresher approach.

‍

Seamless integration and training

Integration with existing office tools is another area where deskbird stands out.

deskbird appears to outpace Gingco with its integration capabilities (MS Team, Personio, Slack, and more), notably lacking HRIS and Slack integrations, for example. Integrations are vital for many businesses that rely on these platforms for day-to-day operations. deskbird is also very easy to implement, requiring no user training - another plus on usability.

‍

Office function and safety

When it comes to safety features, deskbird announces exciting new features coming soon, such as the ability to track who is in the office during emergencies and identify the location of first aiders – a crucial aspect of workplace management.

‍

Saving time and improving efficiency

Efficiency is the name of the game for deskbird, which offers features that save administrative time. A few examples: deskbird allows admins to assign users several available roles with varying levels of permissions. It’s also possible for admins to import, edit, or delete users in bulk via CSV files and update opening days and hours, booking configurations, or check-in types.

‍
