As a workplace manager, you require workplace management software that enhances space management and streamlines bookings for your team. We fully understand this need.
The office map is an essential feature for workplace management solutions like desk booking software and room reservation platforms. It provides a clear visual layout of the floor plan, allowing employees to quickly find and book desks or rooms that fit their needs.
On the admin side, this means a more streamlined implementation of booking policies, better oversight of space usage, and easier allocation of free spaces.
Uniquely at Tactic, we completely customize built-in office maps for companies so they can fully leverage the modern workplace management platform, increase employee engagement, avoid erroneous bookings, and enhance overall satisfaction.
What is Office Maps in Workplace Management Software?
Office maps, often referred to as floorplans, are digital representations of your workplace layout integrated into management software. These maps go beyond static visuals by connecting directly with booking systems to provide a dynamic, real-time view of available desks, rooms, and other resources. They help employees navigate the workspace, visualize seating arrangements, and quickly locate the spaces that suit their preferences or team needs.

For workplace managers, office maps act as a practical tool to bring order and clarity to space management.
They allow you to visually organize your office into distinct areas, such as collaboration zones, quiet workspaces, or hot desks, and link these to booking rules or permissions. This means you can implement specific policies, like reserving certain desks for particular teams or allocating meeting rooms for recurring activities, while ensuring adherence to these requirements and restrictions during team bookings.
The office map also helps reduce miscommunication and errors. By visually aligning bookings with the real-world office layout, you can minimize double bookings, confusion over desk assignments, and last-minute disruptions.
In essence, an office map isn’t just a feature; it’s a key enabler of a seamless and efficient workplace experience for both employees and administrators.
