Employee Review of Robin - Easy and Time-saving!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our organization uses Robin mostly for meeting room bookings - it secures that we will have the meeting rooms we need at the times we need them; even if last minute. It's great that we can schedule these far ahead so we can be sure we'll have the rooms we need without scramble, but even if last minute I love being able to see what rooms are available at a glance with the map feature.
Pros
- Integration for booking (with office technology, schedule, sharing, and email)
- User-friendly
- Effective design
- Organization (booking specific rooms/desks for specific windows of time)
Cons
- The time option being more apparent/prompting to select ASAP when entering site - sometimes I accidentally am looking at desks/meeting rooms for the wrong time/time period because of this and waste time
- Option to block calendar or not (or make this feature more obvious)
- Book on behalf of a team more easily, or hand off to someone (book on behalf)
Return on Investment
- Time saved emailing to book meeting rooms
- Ensure private meeting rooms are scheduled ahead of time when needed
- On busy days, all employees booking desks so there is further organization
