Meeting room booking system: the benefits of digital solutions
Managing office space efficiently is a growing challenge in modern hybrid work environments. With employees splitting time between home and the office, unused meeting rooms and overbooked spaces can lead to frustration, wasted resources, and lost productivity.
The challenges of traditional meeting room management
Relying on manual booking methods such as spreadsheets, emails, or paper calendars often creates confusion:
-
- Double bookings or last-minute cancellations
- Difficulty finding available spaces
- Increased workload for facility and IT teams

2. Cost savings, sustainability and low maintenance
Long-lasting, wireless displays, like ROOMZ, which offer an average battery life of 4 years, help cut maintenance costs and energy consumption. Choosing a display without an operating system further reduces upkeep, removing the need for software updates or complex IT management.
By replacing printed schedules and manual updates, these screens support sustainability goals while lowering operational overhead, making workspace management simpler and more efficient.
3. Optimizing workspace and employee experience: customers feedback
With clear room availability, employees can make quick decisions and avoid wasted time searching for spaces. Hybrid teams benefit from smoother collaboration, better planning, and less frustration in the office.
Swiss Red Cross: from old to modern meeting room management:
«In the past, we managed our meeting rooms exclusively within the Outlook resources calendar. Meetings with external partners were posted on the doors with a sheet of A4 paper. Then we discovered ROOMZ at another company. From that point, things moved at lightning speed to deployment within approximately two to three weeks.» Benno Stucki Department Head ICT Services
