Reservation Management vs Space Management

[Sarda702]

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement to provide facility for employees to book hot desks, visitor management. While this looks like a perfect use case for Workplace Reservation management and Visitor Management modules within WPS. 

Can someone help understand the difference between Workplace Reservation management, Workplace Central and Workplace Space management (part of enterprise). 

My understanding:

Workplace Reservation management: Used via. portal, mobile app by employees to make reservation for desks, meetings etc.

Workplace Central : Like a workspace for agents to service the requests, manage approval etc. for the reservations made? plz clarify.

Workplace Space management: for the configurations done on Reservation management application, if any desk has to be removed, any changes to me made to the arrangements, I used the space management?

Also, for Reservation  management do I need to do the Workplace space mapping  Indoor Floor mapping? Is that mandtory?

Hi @Sarda702 

1. Workplace Reservation Management: Allows employees to book desks, meeting rooms, and other resources via portal or mobile app.

2. Workplace Central: A centralized workspace for agents to manage requests, approvals, and reservations.

3. Workplace Space Management: Manages the configuration of physical spaces, including adding/removing desks, floor plans, and other layout changes.

Indoor Floor Mapping: It is used to visualize and manage the space layout effectively. While it's not strictly mandatory, it significantly enhances the user experience and management efficiency in Workplace Reservation Management.

Thanks Satish. Does it mean when I configure the Reservation MGMT. for the facilities to add / remove or make any desk offline and or make any admin  changes needs the space mgmt? Asking because it's part of enterprise solution and might become costlier.

Workplace Space Management is responsible for the physical layout and configuration of spaces, including desks and rooms. While Workplace Reservation Management handles the booking and reservation aspects, Space Management is needed for making changes to the physical arrangement or configuration of those spaces.

If you need to make changes like adding or removing desks or adjusting layouts, Workplace Space Management is the module used for those tasks.
