It's always hard to strike the right balance between quickly accommodating growth and keeping as few spare desks on hand as possible to hold down costs. The CFO wants cost management and every department wants to hold on to the office space you've already given them. But you know you've got extra unused desks on every floor. You can eliminate this "Swiss cheese" of desks and get the power of accurate seat assignments with Commander BI business intelligence.

Handling growth is slow and risky without excess space

Business units and departments count on space planners to find room and quickly assign new workers to nearby desks. When space planners don't have accurate data on which desks are actually in use, they cannot meet the business unit needs quickly without keeping too much expensive shadow space lying around. Even then change is too frequent and manual updates to seat assignments are too slow and expensive to avoid the "Swiss cheese" of unused desks on every floor. When it comes to accurate chargebacks and cost management, space planners don't have the power or the accuracy they need. Accurate Seat Assignment from Commander BI is the only tool for space planners to meet the needs of the departments and the goals of the organization.

Accurate Seat Assignment is the key to fast growth and low risk

Traditional space management tools track your inventory of desks and offices and many of these tools go further to allocate those assets to groups, departments or business units. While that information is useful for some purposes, it fails to deliver what facility managers and space planners really need because it doesn't track the assignment of those desks and space to individual workers. Without that connection of allocated asset to actual person, space planners don't have the reliable, believable data they need for chargebacks, risk-free moves and quickly addressing growth. The Commander BI platform's takes space management to the next level by connecting desks with people to deliver Accurate Seat Assignment systematically.
