At a recent product workshop whilst I was going on and on about AT-Venues a delegate asked of the group; what is the point of having a web based room or resource management system?
It is a simple but seldom addressed question!
The point is to minimise and eradicate any loss in revenues, resulting from missed, ill planned meetings and appointments. From an asset perspective it is an attempt to better utilise and account for the use of assets ranging from meeting rooms to projectors.
Many organizations large and small utilize web based room scheduling software, or appointment scheduling software; to better organize meetings and better utilize their assets.
Web based systems provide a cost effective means of acquiring and maintaining such systems. Systems that support email and SMS reminders will reduce no-shows and self-scheduling clients/users can book their own meeting rooms and/or resources online.
A web based centralized system provides you with a complete view of your assets / resources, their utilization and occupancy rates their profitability or lack of as and more through powerful reporting features. This is assuming the tool has a reporting feature, which of course AT-Venues does.
Last but not least it frees up time for you to concentrate on other areas of your workload with the peace of mind that you have the right room with the right equipment and supplies all booked up for the meeting and your invited delegates will be sent timely reminders to ensure they don’t forget.
And if you have more to add please feel free to do so, likewise if you disagree with this post let it be known!

I completely agree to this point. Its not only about resources like time and money, it’s also about reputation and image that you create through such a systematic approach of managing your events, venues etc. and ofcourse as mentioned - PEACE OF MIND
ReplyDeleteThis fairly helps in achieving business efficienceis and reduced overheads.
ReplyDeleteSearching available rooms and facilities, monitoring booking times, resource management, timesaving and streamlined processes; all under the umbrella of a smart ebooking system like At-Venues which only requies an internet/intranet browser.
It's simply cool :)
This system (at-venues) is very cost-effective. It saves you the hassle of buying expensive bespoke software and install on your pc.
