iOFFICE by Eptura vs. Skedda

You can book multiple spaces for the day with one log in. IOffice is easy to use / I was trained by reading a few PowerPoint slides and could use it immediately. With Covid protocols in place it was important in be able to book space when needed since many of our offices were closed due to mitigation efforts

It is really well suited for managing either desks and meeting rooms, or resources. It was really important for us that equipment could be included as bookable items because we can then track who has them - where and when. The self-service nature of bookings allows everyone to manage their own time.

• It is very good at plotting out office seating.
• We also use it for mail and package logging and notification and tracking.
• It is very useful in creating seating charts and floor plans.

Incentivized

• the clear and accurate map of the space
• different filters (grid, day, map) for different users
• being able to build a questionnaire within the booking form
• giving people easy access to log-in
• the amount of control you can have over what your users see

• The thing I would like to see is the ability to add the office or room dimensions and plot out seating such as in conference rooms.
• The version I have requires me to have to contact the company rep to make changes to the configuration in the software.

Incentivized

• Only one account can be setup as the overall owner of the system with control to adjust key settings. It would be good if more than one owner could be assigned to spread out the workload, without the need to for a shared account.

great system, flexible, fast and supportive

User-friendly and quick to catch on to.

For a non-tech person, it isn't clear to me how to create and use tags. Some instruction/training would be useful.

Incentivized

The response time is extremely quick and the video responses are great to refer back to.

For a non tech person more training on the in-depth functionality would be appreciated and useful.

I was an end user and was not involved in the selection of the systems

Skedda is much more comprehensive than these products and has infinitely more controls and options than Survey Monkey or Google Surveys. It would be difficult to implement either platform for the scale of reservations and scheduling we are currently using Skedda for and would make saving user information much more time-consuming for the staff of our organization.

Incentivized

• 100% of staff you needed to be in office were required to use iOffice
• Follow up surveys on iOffice use had a 95% positive response by users
• Once pilot was completed, over 350 staff completed training and used iOffice since 2021

• we have been able to increase the amount of people using the spaces - from 20 companies a week, to up to 30 because we gave people the power to book
• employees don't have to keep checking emails from people asking about availability - users can just see this for themselves so this saved us a lot of time and workload
