Logitech has released a suite of Sync smart office tools to improve the workplace experience for employees and strengthen analytics for business IT teams. Auto Book and Auto Release features automatically reserve and cancel room bookings based on workplace behaviour, while Logitech View interactive digital office maps make navigation through large offices more intuitive.
Logitech for Business vice president of product, Henry Levak said, “Logitech’s smart office tools are the not-so-secret weapon to bring predictability and detailed insights into dynamic work environments.”
When employees start using a meeting room, Auto Book reserves it. Conversely, if a room is reserved but no one shows up, Auto Release frees the space for others to use. After multiple no-show meetings, the entire recurring series can also be automatically cancelled, with the changes reflected in the calendar and on Tap Scheduler.
“Rally Bars use AI in-camera sensors to automatically detect and respond to natural workplace behaviours with no human intervention needed. Employees can focus less on manual actions and more on collaboration, and IT admins get a realistic picture of which rooms are actually used, not just which rooms are booked,” Levak added.
Unlock these features in rooms with Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, whether using Appspace, Envoy, Microsoft, RICOH Spaces, Robin, Zoom, or other booking platforms.
Availability status updates are reflected in near real time in Logitech View, a digital office mapping solution that keeps hybrid workers and visitors oriented with easier wayfinding in large offices via quick, colour-coded visibility of meeting rooms, workstations, amenities, and exits. Maps can be displayed on large monitors or TV screens using Logitech RoomMate. Using the touchscreen, people can book rooms directly on the map or search for colleagues’ desks.
Logitech for Business chief operating officer and general manager, Prakash Arunkundrum commented, “Under-utilised and over-utilised rooms are bad news for the bottom line. Logitech Sync Insights gives you data analytics on space usage, occupancy, and the use of video conferencing equipment during meetings so you can make smarter decisions about tech investments and space planning.”
