Making your hybrid office work shouldn't be complicated. Yet, many teams still juggle messy spreadsheets and confusing chat threads just to figure out who's coming in and where they'll sit. The result? Wasted commutes to an empty office, frustration over finding a spot, and a ton of administrative overhead.
Officely offers a better way. As a desk booking solution that lives directly inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, it makes coordinating office life effortless for everyone. No new apps to download, no extra passwords to remember—just a simple, intuitive way to make your office a hub for collaboration again.
Book a Desk in Seconds
Find and book your favorite desk from anywhere. With Officely, you can see who's in, find a spot near your teammates and reserve your space in just a few clicks—all without leaving Slack or Teams.
Get Clear Office Insights
Go beyond guesswork. Track real-time attendance and desk usage to understand how your office is being used. These clear analytics help you spot trends, optimize your layout, and make data-driven decisions about your real estate needs.
Support Your Unique Hybrid Policy
Whether you use hot desking, hoteling, or assigned seating, Officely is flexible enough to support how your team works. Create team "neighborhoods" to foster collaboration and customize booking rules to fit your company's specific policies.
Manage Shared and Assigned Desks
Automated check-ins ensure that your office space is used efficiently. If someone books a desk but doesn't show up, Officely can automatically release it, freeing up the space for another team member. This simple automation maximizes your real estate and ensures no desk goes to waste.
Book from Anywhere, Inside Your Favorite Tools
The biggest hurdle to new software is getting people to actually use it. Officely solves this by integrating directly into the tools your team already relies on every day: Slack and Microsoft Teams. With over half of U.S. employees now in a hybrid arrangement, meeting them in their existing digital workflow is critical for success [1].
Because Officely feels like a natural part of these platforms, there’s virtually no learning curve. This leads to high adoption rates and ensures your desk booking system becomes a valued part of the workday, not another forgotten app.
Create a Collaborative Hub with Team Neighborhoods
One of the main reasons employees come to the office is to connect with their colleagues. Officely helps you make that happen with purpose. Managers can easily create "neighborhoods"—flexible zones for specific teams, departments, or projects. This allows employees to easily find and sit with their teammates, turning the office into a true center for collaboration.
Get Actionable Desk Management Reporting
Data is crucial for managing a modern office, but it needs to be easy to understand. Officely provides a clear dashboard with real-time insights into office attendance and space utilization. You can see your busiest days, most popular desks, and overall usage trends at a glance.
It’s important to note that Officely prioritizes straightforward, actionable analytics that help you manage your office day-to-day. While it provides the essential data most teams need, it's deliberately less complex than heavy, enterprise-level systems focused on predictive AI modeling. This is a trade-off we make to ensure the platform remains simple, intuitive, and highly adopted by your entire team.

Questions? We're Here to Help.
What is desk booking software?
Desk booking software, also known as hot desking or desk hoteling, is a tool that allows employees to reserve a workspace—like a desk, office, or cubicle—for a specific time. It's essential for managing flexible and hybrid offices, as it helps companies optimize their space while giving employees the freedom to choose where and when they work.
How does a desk booking system support hybrid work?
In a hybrid model, not everyone is in the office every day. A desk booking system provides clarity and organization. It allows employees to see who is in the office and book a spot nearby, which fosters collaboration. For managers, it provides data on office usage, which is critical for making smart decisions about real estate. While a tool like Officely is powerful, a successful hybrid strategy also requires clear communication and policies; the software supports the culture you build [2].
Is Officely easy for employees to use?
Yes! This is Officely's biggest strength. Because it works directly inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, there is no new app for your team to learn. This familiar environment makes booking a desk incredibly simple and straightforward, leading to high adoption rates.
