Personal space bookings


Condeco’s booking solution for personal spaces is designed for single occupancy spaces and provides functionality to find and book workspaces for individual use. Any type of bookable space can be created in Condeco, e.g. desks, offices, lockers, parking spaces, bicycle store, etc. Searches can be filtered by the type of space and any ‘attributes’ available with the workspace, for example, a desk configured with a docking station and dual monitors, or a parking space with a charging point. Personal spaces are displayed on floor plans and indicate availability. You can find where your colleagues are located and book a workspace nearby.

Personal space bookings can be managed using the Condeco web app on a compatible browser, and the Condeco mobile app.

Condeco’s booking solution for personal spaces

Condeco’s booking solution for personal spaces provides the following functionality:

  • Designed for single-occupancy spaces.
  • Find spaces and filter results by type of space and required attributes.

  • Book multiple workspace types for the same day, i.e. a desk, a locker, and a parking space (but only 1 of the same workspace type).
  • Automatically book a personal space when a user's status changes to be in the workplace. The workspace is selected based on intelligence such as the location of spaces booked by members of their team and spaces they have previously booked.

  • A workspace assigned to a particular user can be freed up for other bookings when appropriate.
  • Create zones so entire areas or groups of workspaces can be quickly closed or opened.
  • Assign cleaning vendors to workspaces and create a cleaning workflow.
  • Cleaning vendors can manage tasks from a dashboard.
  • Limit the number of days per week a user can book workspaces managed by a particular group.

Meeting space bookings


Condeco’s meeting space booking solution is designed for (but not restricted to) multiple occupancy spaces and provides functionality to find and book workspaces to collaborate with colleagues. Any type of meeting space can be created in Condeco. Searches can be filtered by the type of space, location, seating arrangement, and any ‘attributes’ available with the meeting space, for example, AV equipment or whiteboards. Service requests can be added to bookings, such as catering, equipment, supplies, and changes to room setups. Dashboards are provided for service vendors to manage requests.

Meeting space bookings can be managed using the Condeco web app on a compatible browser, the Condeco mobile app, the Condeco Outlook add-in, and the Condeco app for Microsoft Teams (the latter two apps require the Condeco Microsoft 365 integration).

Condeco Microsoft 365 integration


The Condeco Microsoft 365 integration and Outlook add-in provides an integrated and seamless room booking experience for Microsoft Outlook users and offers many of Condeco’s additional features and benefits when booking meetings in Outlook. 

Add the Condeco app for Microsoft Teams and book meeting spaces directly from a Microsoft Teams chat, channel, or meeting. Using Microsoft Teams you can also book personal spaces and choose and share your in-office schedule with your colleagues.

Microsoft 365 integration is the recommended solution for customers using Condeco alongside Microsoft Outlook 365. Configuration and management are simple and the combined service is feature-rich, so users can benefit from the additional functionality that Condeco offers, regardless of where bookings are created.

Condeco’s Microsoft 365 integration and Outlook Add-in
  • Book a Condeco meeting space directly from a Microsoft Outlook event or automatically create an event in users' Outlook calendars directly from Condeco when creating the booking. The Outlook event and Condeco booking are completely in sync, providing users with the flexibility to view and edit booking details from either Outlook or Condeco.
  • Maintains booking requirements if an appointment is moved to a new time, and automatically finds suitable alternative meeting spaces.
  • Supports recurring meetings and automatically selects alternative meeting spaces if the chosen space is not available on all dates.
  • Integration with video rooms such as Teams and Zoom.
  • Outlook delegates can book meeting spaces on behalf of the primary user.

The Microsoft 365 integration service uses Microsoft Graph to receive notifications from user calendars and only processes the specific data required for a booking, such as the date, time, subject, and meeting attendees. Condeco customers have full control of which calendars send notifications and additionally, each user must provide explicit consent via the add-in before Microsoft 365 integration can subscribe to their calendar.
