Sector: Workplace Technology, Energy Optimization
Summary:
ATODE engineered a smart hot desk booking and automation system tailored for a large financial services office. Desks can only be activated by employees who have booked in advance and checked in through the visitor management system. Power sockets and LAN ports only turn on once the user is seated, and they shut off after the allocated booking time ends.
Client Impact:
- Improved energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary power usage across hundreds of desks
- Enabled management to track employee desk usage, optimize office layout, and detect under-utilized areas
- Enhanced operational transparency—particularly useful for tracking time spent at desks by customer service teams
- Reduced IT support burden by limiting network access to authorized users only during active bookings
- Created a more disciplined, automated workspace while supporting hybrid and flexible work models
