Logitech has announced a desk booking service for hybrid workspaces to enable smoother hotdesking experiences for workers.
The solution runs on Logitech's Logi Dock Flex, a fully-featured managed docking station designed for shared desks in flexible work environments.
In its offering announcement, Logitech said the transition to hybrid working creates challenges for employers in motivating employees back to the office, escalating the importance of data and insights in understanding space configuration and investment — a need that the Logi Dock Flex aims to address.
Scott Wharton, General Manager of Logitech B2B, commented:
Businesses know they have to earn the commute to get hybrid work employees into the office. The answer is not to add more foosball tables but to instead offer a way for employees to plan their in-office days together. We took a multidimensional approach to building Logi Dock Flex that not only solves desk booking and management issues, but promotes social collaboration and gives IT and workplace managers data on how the tech and space are being used."
How the Logi Dock Flex Functions
Logitech's desk booking service allows employees to plan days in the office with their teams. Workers can book a desk through Logi Tune and then notify their teammates in the app. After arriving on-premises, workers plug into Logi Dock Flex with a USB cable and can then start their work.
The Logi Deck Flex comprises an eight-inch display with three USB ports in the front and three in the back. It supports dual display and network connection to allow secure, standard-issue device connections. It's also designed for BYOD and customizable so employees can use their own background photo and away message. They can join meetings with one touch through calendar integrations with the Logi Tune app, while for ad-hoc booking, the interactive panel informs if the desk is available.
The Logi Dock Flex can be installed and deployed at scale with secure cable management, and IT teams can organize the Dock Flex remotely to control booking settings, manage equipment, and personalize according to the company’s hybrid policies.
