We are in a multi-level building with shared meeting rooms. Robin is used to book these meeting rooms in advance or in an as-needed arrangement. Tablets are set up outside the meeting rooms to show the status and the online dashboard allows individuals to book and control their meeting requirements.
  • Minimal clicks to make a booking
  • Easily manage future bookings
  • Great online dashboard
  • Better use of room maps
  • Alerts when available rooms are down to 10%
Robin works great in a multi-level, multi-tenancy environment.

My organization has been using Robin for meetings and organizing our work environment for a while now. We use it to book conference rooms and it gives us an automated view of available rooms and the available resources in the rooms. Apart from booking meeting rooms, Robin has been effective in arranging our workspace; one is able to easily reserve a desk and once a desk has been booked or one has been freed, it updates immediately on the office map.
  • Automated visibility of the office.
  • Real time view of conference rooms.
  • We are able to easily plan teams and book desks beforehand.
  • Alerts on arrival of visitors.
  • There was a time when it had glitches; I wanted to confirm my but got cancelled rather than being confirmed.
  • Clarity for when checking in and checking out.
Robin is an intuitive app that has helped our employees manage their office spaces. We are able to easily choose desks that are yet to be reserved since it clearly shows spaces that have been reserved at any given moment. I love that we can see where my team is seating or who is going to be a the office on a given day.

We use Robin as a workplace management platform, to allow employees to book and reserve office space, both for individual usage or for booking shared spaces and meeting rooms. The product replaced a comparatively clunky internal system that was hard to interpret and time-consuming to use. Robin is quick, easy, with good visualisations to help the process work more smoothly and intuitively.
  • Excellent visualisation of booking space
  • Good ability to group team members for collaborative working
  • Efficient system for the booking of shared workspaces
  • Provides at-a-glance view on office capacity
  • Team working elements are slightly limited in scope
  • It can be challenging to benefit from all collaborative elements when working across multiple teams
  • n/a
Very well suited to managing office space and capacity in comparatively large-scale organizations, particularly if - as in our offices - navigating meeting rooms and locations can be quite challenging. The app also works well, however that does infer a need for a certain level of tech knowledge, as those who are less familiar with using phone apps for professional purposes may find there to be a small learning process. Ultimately Robin provides a far better and more efficient solution than the previous booking system, which was prone to issues and time-consuming.

We use Robin primarily for conference room booking management at all of our leased office locations. It is used by employees across the entire organization in all departments. Recently we started using the desk booking and space planning modules to help us get away from using a spreadsheet to track seating assignments. We also used the distance planning feature of the space planning module to help us configure our floor plans for our post-COVID return to the office.
  • Customer Support - I have personally had great experiences with the sales and implementation folks.
  • Research - I have personally been asked to attend a user focus group to help improve their product.
  • Compatibility- The product can integrate with almost anything you can imagine, but mainly it is easy to connect with Calendaring platforms and occupancy sensor technology.
  • Refinement of new features - space planning module is fairly basic compared to competitors
  • UX/GUI - the interface is clean and simple, but a richer experience is needed in the area of space planning /wayfinding
Best suited to companies who don't already have a meeting room management/booking platform, offices that have a lot of disputes over calendar bookings made "the old fashioned way" via outlook or post-it notes on the door. Also, any organization that is looking to more effectively use the meeting spaces they already have, who may be under pressure from employees that there is not enough meeting space. Robin can help you get a better idea of utilization through data, although not a complete picture unless you pair it with sensor technology.

Probably not as well suited for very small offices where meeting room space is not at a premium, and bookings are not often contested.

We, in IT, used Robin for room management in multiple of our offices. Users used iPads to check-in and out of meetings. This freed up rooms that were not in use as there is only a limited amount of conference rooms.
  • Check-In/Out via multiple ways. Room tablet, Slack, Robin App.
  • Google Calendar integration
  • Drawing on floor plans to make room shapes. The default should be square and THEN change to odd angles. Instead of having SO much support for odd shapes, you can't easily adjust a square to the right size and keep straight lines.
  • Price could be better.
A business with a limited amount of Conference rooms, and many meetings and employees, this tool is excellent.

Robin is being used for room bookings as well as wayfinding in our organization. The major business problem it has resolved is the ability to find available conference rooms on the fly as well as their locations and booking with one click. Prior to using Robin, our users spent a lot of time walking around looking for rooms and collaboration spaces.
  • Booking is very simple. The ability to book upcoming and on the fly meetings is valuable to our business.
  • Easy to use interface from desktop and mobile with a very low learning curve.
  • Lots of usage data for us admins to use for space planning and usage.
  • The Robin Maps application can use some help from a visual perspective. Would be nice to have a three-dimensional map option. The product is still young so has some places for growth.
  • Calendaring is still not up to par with G-Suite and/or Outlook. I would like to see more emphasis placed on becoming the sole calendaring tool for users.
Robin works for most office space booking as well as desks environments. The only reason I would not recommend it is because it definitely gets expensive. At the per license, it could be a steep investment for smaller startups when there are other cheaper options available.
