A good planning is essential to get the maximum return from meetings and meeting rooms. But sometimes people want to sit right now, apart from the planning. Then it is useful to directly see which meeting rooms are available.
At Unicef, they ran into the problem of finding and booking an available meeting room at the moment that there was an ad hoc discussion. In addition, they also wanted a solution for their flexible workplaces.
The GoBright smart software solutions created opportunities for Unicef. Helen Ruigrok van der Werve from Unicef says: ‘We are pretty flexible, but there are also several permanent places. This works very dynamically and therefore we need 10 less desks. But it also seems that people want to sit together once or twice a week in their own team. So, we needed a solution to manage different ways of working.
We were immediately enthusiastic! When a room is needed, you immediately see which rooms are available. Those colours, they are really great!
Ruigrok van der Werve says: ‘We came to GoBright via a tip and they advised GoBright Room and Desk Booking. Room Booking in combination with room displays with LED lighting and Desk Booking. We were excited immediately! When a room is needed, you can immediately see which rooms are available. You can see that digitally, but also when you are walking around. Then a green light shows up, and you can use the room. Those colours, they are really great! I hear many people say that this is really nice. It works very easily. You just open up Outlook, choose a room and enter your data in that appointment. Then, you only have to press the start button. GoBright also offered us a great Desk Booking solution that added value to our dynamic concept.’
Ruigrok van der Werve appreciates that GoBright thinks along and she appreciates the service orientation of GoBright. ‘I like things that are made easier for people. GoBright is service-oriented and handles everything neatly. In addition, people thought well about the suspension system, because we have glass everywhere. It nicely combines with the names of the rooms, and exactly at that height next to the window.’
GoBright creates smart software solutions to enable desk and room management at the office. The user experience of our software is even better when it is applied to high-quality hardware. For Unicef we worked with the ProDVX displays for the Room Panels. The X-series Panel pcs have 2-sided LED bar for extra clear signaling of the availability of the room. The use of ‘power of ethernet’ made sure the displays were easy to install.
All children, anywhere in the world, have the same rights. These children’s rights are recorded in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. On behalf of the United Nations, Unicef must observe if governments comply with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and whether they respect it. Unicef works together with 115 people in The Hague.
