The Technology Toolkit
At NFS we have many years’ experience of deploying solutions for desk and room booking.

Based on many implementations done we now share your insights on how technology can be an important tool to deliver change.
Our recommended toolkit includes the following functionality and approach:

Integration with Teams and Zoom start end points means that the complexity of organizing video conferences is eliminated. Users can also easily order catering and A/V – even from a mobile device.
Further integrations with digital signage platforms and sensors enable staff to book available rooms on the fly or to select and check into desks totally touch free.
