Client
Since COVID-19 has turned the understanding of workspace upside down, IT companies realized the inefficiency of renting large office spaces for their teams as they stay unused. On the other hand, booking a smaller office, they risk failing to comply with the social distancing rule. Our client is a medium-sized American IT company that specializes in building software solutions and is willing to find new workspace management options.
Challenge: PROVIDE WEB-BASED DESK BOOKING SOLUTION
The prime target of our project is to provide the customer with a web-based application for quick and convenient desk booking. Any member of the team should be able to book a desk for a certain period of a day to ward off overcrowding. Such a workspace management option helps companies avoid extra rent spending and lets them book a certain number of desks, according to the preferable type of co-working. The web application has to be supported by a broker who supervises the booking process, adds new office spaces into the catalog, schedules office tours, and gives users a hand in case of difficulty.
solution: BUILD A RESPONSIVE APPLICATION FOR EFFICIENT WORKSPACE MANAGEMENT
To solve the case, our team went for React Styled Components, Graphql, Lerna, and other technologies to create an efficient and responsive application that helps companies take care of their employees during COVID-19. Our web-based app offers flexible desk booking solutions for employers in San Francisco, New York, and a number of other key cities in the US and around Europe. The solution is based on the sorting tool that lets a user set priorities such as the type of working pattern, the number of employees, and their working hours to find the best option in no time. The application has Broker and Customer types of interfaces that differ according to their functions implied:
Brokers have access to
