The situation
Before Kadence
Its lease was ending in late 2023. Calendly bookings duplicated desks, staff could not see who was booked in, and the team could not easily report actual usage.
What changed
With Kadence
- Desk and room booking replaced the previous system within weeks.
- Occupancy insights informed use of the downsized office.
- Cancellation notifications helped staff find available desks and decide whether to travel.
“The great thing about Kadence is that it doesn’t need a team of people to manage your bookings. After you set the initial parameters during setup, Kadence manages all of your bookings behind the scenes.”
