Why Automatic Bookings Matter

Ghost desks, false bookings, and missed check-ins distort reality and drive poor decisions. Employees forget to reserve, visitors arrive unannounced, and contractors or hot desk users slip through the cracks. The result is inflated utilization metrics and misleading occupancy reports that cost enterprises millions in wasted space.

Kadence Agent solves this with automatic desk bookings and automatic desk check in. The system instantly creates a booking for anyone who arrives onsite, whether they are an employee, contractor, or visitor. Every arrival is captured in the system, producing real-time occupancy data that leaders can trust to plan, consolidate, and scale their offices.

Capture Real Usage vs. Actual Bookings

Most enterprises still plan their space using unreliable sources such as badge swipes or Outlook calendars. These tools only tell half the story. A desk may look booked but sit empty, or entire teams may show up without leaving any trace in the system.

This gap between bookings and actual usage forces executives to make multimillion-dollar decisions on incomplete information. With automatic workplace bookings powered by Kadence Agent, every arrival is logged and every presence is counted. Enterprises finally gain a single source of truth about occupancy across their portfolio.

Feed Clean Data Into Your Workplace Operations Platform

Kadence is more than a hybrid workplace booking system. It is the workplace operations platform that connects people, space, and policy into one ecosystem.

Every booking and check-in captured by Kadence Agent flows directly into your reporting and planning tools. Facilities teams can see who is in the office and where they are sitting. IT leaders can deploy globally with confidence thanks to integrations with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google, and SSO. Real estate leaders gain accurate usage metrics to guide lease negotiations, consolidations, and long-term portfolio strategy.

When you capture real-time occupancy data from every arrival, you can:

  • Right-size your portfolio with confidence
  • Consolidate underused zones and reallocate space
  • Forecast demand ahead of lease renewals
  • Run hybrid policies with evidence-based compliance
  • Maintain accountability for security and visitor tracking

Kadence aligns with enterprise-grade standards for privacy, security, and compliance, ensuring every person onsite is accounted for in line with your access and data policies.
