Conference room scheduling and desk booking management tool

About Robin

Best for mid-market and enterprise companies, Robin is a cloud-based office scheduling software designed to help users reserve meeting rooms, find desks and move around the office using tools such as a scheduling web dashboard, calendar integration, and browser and Outlook plugins, plus analytics, room displays, desk management, and more. Mobile apps give users the flexibility to manage their personal and work calendars on the go with smart notifications and location-based reminders.

Robin serves to streamline workplace scheduling, allowing users to find and reserve conference rooms and desks online from a web dashboard. Status boards display the office calendar on a big screen in high traffic areas, while maps enable the entire company to see where they need to go. All of Robin’s tools layer on top of existing Outlook or Google calendars familiar to employees. Users can set rules for room booking and smart work hours, as well as monitor their fleet of room displays. Monitoring tools and status reporting technology helps users identify issues on WiFi connectivity, battery and network information.

Flexible desk management tools allow users to assign permanent workstations or create reservable desks, as well as provide seats on the fly. Maps enable employees to see the entire office live and in action through an interactive map of the office. Robin allows employees to reserve office space directly from the floor plan. With access to over 100 KPIs, Robin provides users with the insight to understand workplace usage in real-time. Data analytics technology also guides users to the space which best suits them for their activities throughout the day.

    The ability to quickly book rooms right outside of a conference room is great. Able to see what rooms are available, for how long, and what ones are in use and by whom. I think it helps get the most out of our meeting spaces.

    Pros

    Easy setup
    Analytics
    Clean interface
    Friendly customer support
    Additional features seem to be added often.

    Cons

    Chrome extension for Google calendar, logs out after awhile so makes using it a pain.
    To get the most out of it, I'd need staff to login to the Robin website not ideal with my group of users.

    Best Scheduling Display Software there is

    We just moved into new office and one of the main problems of our users is to find the new meeting rooms. With robin ipads next to each conference room, they'll find it easier. Also, the maps feature is helping them a lot - we have displays in the hallway that show them their way.

    Pros

    Robin has the general best look and feel of all the apps we tried. Zoom, Teem, everything felt just emotionless, but Robin is really fun to use. The folks there really put an emphasis on user experience. Our coworkers are happy to use it because it doesn't feel like another stupid corporate software.
    To optimize meeting room utilization, we enabled "abandoned meeting protection" - our users have to checkin, otherwise the room will be freed again. That's one of the best features in my opinion.

    Cons

    We have dozens of ipads to roll out some days, also in different offices - I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't configure robin on multiple individual ipads using MDM - or perhaps I haven't understood how.

    Teem

    Reasons for Choosing Robin

    The software was being maintained by a trainee and eventuelly abandoned. Also feature-wise totally not on par with Robin.

    Reasons for Switching to Robin

    Robin provided the best user experience. It's fun to use, so our colleagues use it.

    Ease of use to book conference rooms without walking in on another meeting.

    Ease of use to book conference rooms without walking in on another meeting.

    Pros

    This allows our office to easily book a conference room and know what is available without having to get up and check or walk in on someone in a meeting.

    Cons

    The customer service and linking to my calendar has never been stellar. Still not running as efficiently as I'd hope to be.

    Of of the biggest problems we solved with Robin was data-driven decisions when expanding existing spaces or building new ones. We used the data gathered from Robin to make informed decisions on how many rooms and what size to build to better serve our employees.

    Pros

    In our organization, our primary use case for Robin was conference room check-in. The thing I like the most about this product is the way it updates. We don't have to manage that using our MDM software. The software automatically updates to the latest version when it launches.

    Cons

    While our team uses the kiosk application I think the design can seem less polished than others. It is also not true to scale like other software on the market. I think this is a fairly new product for Robin and probably a lesser used product that other companies. It does work well and I've seen improvements in the latest iteration.
