Hey there,

Do you often experience that all meeting rooms are unavailable, only to find them booked but empty? Say farewell to wasted space with Mapiq's latest feature: automatic release of meeting rooms in case of a no show.

Key benefits

🚀 Maximize workspace efficiency: Free up available space to ensure employees have a room when they need one.

🔍 Gather actionable insights: Get insights into no show patterns and -trends, showing the impact of your room optimizations. See here

💡 Empower your teams: Encourage employees to book rooms wisely.

How it works?

• Mapiq checks whether a room is booked and whether there are people detected by sensors in the room.
• 5 minutes after the meeting started, an automatic notification is sent to the organizer to confirm or cancel their presence.
• If no presence is detected and the organizer doesn't respond, the room is automatically released in 10 minutes.
• Outlook sends an email to the organizer once the room is released. Only the room booking is cancelled, not the meeting itself.
• Employees need to give consent individually to receive in-app, email and/or push notifications.

Our newest feature is available when:

• The occupancy feature is enabled. 👉 Learn More
• The room calendar integration for Microsoft 365 is enabled. 👉 Learn More

• Save time searching: The new feature allows you to search for office facilities directly by typing their names, helping you spot what you need quickly.
• Efficient workspace usage: Clearly differentiate between bookable and ad hoc workspaces to ensure they are used as intended. Check how to update your building set up here.

Now you can get a quick overview of all sensors' health and identify underperforming sensors using our intuitive maps.

You can also filter on the floor, sensor activity, and sensor provider. Bookmark the search for future usage and share the link with colleagues for troubleshooting.

We just launched a new Room Calendar Integration for Microsoft 365. This integration will enable new analytics of how your meeting rooms are booked and utilized.

This new integration will allow you to:

• Access advanced meeting room booking trends directly in the Analytics dashboard which will help measure, understand, and improve your meeting spaces.
• In combination with occupancy sensors, get additional insights on meeting room utilization (for example, booked but not utilized) and understand the root causes of meeting room no-shows.

The office no longer supports a single purpose, and while collaboration is important, employees must also find spaces to focus.

With Workspace Occupancy, you can find workspaces on the go based on live sensor data.

This feature will help you to:

• Easily find available workspaces for last-minute focus work wherever you are.
• Navigate the office faster with the help of interactive office maps and see who else is working in the area based on desk bookings.
• See if specific areas are quiet or lively and choose workspaces that best suit your needs and preferences with filters.

We made planning office days even more straightforward 🎉

While previously you could only plan office days from the day overview, now it is also possible to schedule office days from the week overview. That way, you no longer need to switch between days and plan multiple workdays in one go.

This improvement is best experienced on mobile. See how it works!

We added a few new updates to make parking license plate management more seamless.

• Employees can now add multiple license plates instead of a single license plate. Here's a reminder on how users can add license plates.
• Admins can now search license plates in the People tab and delete them, making it easier to manage license plates.
