What Are the Benefits of Using Workspace Booking Software and Hardware?

Introducing Skedway | The Modern Standard for Smart Workspace Management

The workplace has transformed dramatically over the last few years. Hybrid schedules, flexible seating, and fluid team collaboration have made traditional static office layouts obsolete. Today’s organizations need solutions that help them manage dynamic spaces efficiently—while improving productivity, reducing operational overhead, and enhancing the employee experience.

This shift has created a growing demand for workspace booking software and intelligent hardware. These tools allow employees to reserve desks, book meeting rooms, and access shared resources on-demand. And for resellers, MSPs, and office technology dealers searching for modern workplace solutions to offer their clients, the opportunity is significant.

One platform leading this category is Skedway—a flexible workspace management system supported by intuitive software and polished hardware components like smart meeting room tablets. As an office technology provider, Image Star helps resellers understand these solutions, position them effectively, and deliver modern workplace tools that today’s organizations now expect.

In this blog, you’ll learn the benefits of workspace booking technology, how Skedway works, and how Image Star empowers resellers to bring these solutions to their customers with confidence.

Understanding Workspace Booking Solutions

Workspace booking solutions combine both software and hardware to streamline how employees interact with shared environments. These platforms allow users to:

• Reserve desks, offices, and meeting spaces

• Check real-time availability for rooms and resources

• Optimize office occupancy and utilization

• Integrate bookings with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other calendaring tools

At their core, these solutions remove friction from the modern hybrid workplace. Employees gain clarity, flexibility, and control—while administrators gain visibility, reporting, and the ability to make data-driven decisions about space usage.
