Logitech released a suite of Sync smart office tools including Auto Book and Auto Release features that  automatically reserve and cancel room bookings and Logitech View interactive, digital office maps. The idea here is to eliminate the time it takes workers, in large office spaces, to find meeting rooms.

Auto Book and Auto Release aim to solve these challenges: When employees start using a meeting room, Auto Book reserves it. Conversely, if a room is reserved but no one shows up, Auto Release frees the space for others to use. After multiple no-show meetings, the entire recurring series can also be automatically canceled, with the changes reflected in the calendar and on Tap Scheduler.

Users can unlock these features in rooms with Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, whether the organization uses Appspace, Envoy, Microsoft, RICOH Spaces, Robin, Zoom, or other booking platforms.

Availability status updates are reflected in Logitech View, a digital office mapping solution that keeps hybrid workers and visitors oriented with easier wayfinding in large office complexes via quick, color-coded visibility of meeting rooms, workstations, amenities, and exits. Maps can be displayed on large monitors or TV screens using Logitech RoomMate. Using the touch screen, people can book rooms directly on the map or search for their colleagues’ desks.

Logitech View, Auto Book and Auto Release are available with a Logitech Essential or Select service plan, priced at $199 and $399 per room annually, respectively. All the details are here: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/video-conferencing/solutions/roombooking.html
