Condeco, headquartered in London, offers their suite of workspace management and booking systems, featuring Condeco Meeting Room Booking app, supplying control over room availability, digital signage and screens, global location management, meeting reminders and email integration (e.g. Outlook), visitor adding and management, recurrent meetings, and other features. Condeco also supports workspace planning with software, and a desk booking app.
As opposed to other systems, Condeco Meeting Room Booking us good when making changes to an existing meeting.
Its ability to end a meeting earlier and just use the room panel to clear the appointment is a welcome addition, and the panels were a breeze to set up, which is also a bonus.
One can book the meeting room on the fly and it will be shown on the Condeco panel. further it will be started or else it will be dropped from the meeting room as well as from Outlook. This ensures proper resource utilization.
Meetings can be created from the panel as well, so there's no need to go to the workplace and book a meeting, which saves time.
Condeco Enterprise manages both events as well as visitors, which have audit features as well which ensures data integrity as it handles payments and costs.
The mobile app does not yet have a map feature that mimics the one in the desktop version
At the time we launched, it didn't interface well with Outlook. So we couldn't reserve the room and send an invitation to attendees in the same step. As such, we elected to use AgilQuest for workstation reservations only and use Outlook to reserve meeting rooms and people. We understand this has been corrected but have been too busy to go back to test and relaunch that feature.
The basic reporting package is a bit weak but it works OK for us. They want to upsell you on their more robust reporting platform.
Condeco's system defaults to booking for the next day. I defaulted to same-day booking so that if I am in a hurry, I don't accidentally book it for the next day (it has happened before).
Product strong and user interface on screes look premium product and since I installed I'm not have any case issue more on this product, my colleague and Top management are happy on this product because it make easy to staff booking room and reduce complication booking room when they go to meeting room.
As mentioned above, we haven't evaluated any other products since the implementation. At the time, it was the best fit for us. There may be other products on the market now that would be even better. However, AgilQuest serves us well and we are happy with it's performance. It would be a very big, expensive undertaking to transition to a different product and at this time there is no motivation to go down that road.
There are many meeting room booking products available in the market, such as Skedda, Calanderwiz, etc., and all are providing similar facilities as Condeco. However, the Condeco panels are a unique feature, which is installed outside of the meeting room. The Led screen shows the meeting timeline, with features of meeting booking and editing as well. Overall, it is one of the best product available in the market.
It is a key component in the firm being able to completely transform our working environment. We needed a hoteling software that would allow us to move from one-to-one assigned seating to seat sharing. This, in turn, has allowed us to shrink our footprints as leases expire and create a whole new working environment. Some key metrics thus far are: (1) our portfolio has dropped by 77,000 RSF despite significant headcount growth, (2) RSF per person has decreased from 260 in 2014 to 185, on our way to 150, as future renovations are completed, and (3) we have reduced future occupancy costs by $52 million.
The implementation of Condeco helped to manage office space and limit the number of employees during Covid, so the ROI is worth it.
Easy to use and user-friendly interface helped employees to be independent of the HR support team in a way where all the parameters and configuration are done within the Condeco software.
