It is unfortunate to see a meeting room dark and empty while remaining booked. Often, meeting room bookings never get canceled, even when the actual meeting is canceled, leading to sites sitting unused while others struggle to find an available room to meet. With FMS:Analytics, sensors in the room can be set to automatically correct this by freeing up room bookings whenever a meeting time starts, but nobody enters the room. They can also be set to end meeting room times early if no activity is detected after a given time. FMS:Analytics even shows when meeting rooms are not booked, but occupied anyway, to show actual meeting room use regardless of a reservation.
Room booking analytics show you how many people on average use a room of a given capacity, which can help plan for the correct capacity in the future. It also helps you understand the actual utilization of your meeting rooms to help ensure your organization has the right amount of space your employees need. It can be challenging to try and put this data together and analyze it yourself – fortunately, FMS:Analytics, with its reports and dashboards, helps you make better informed decisions about these costly meeting room areas.
