The Challenge

Hybrid work without desk booking is a guessing game

When employees don't know if there's a desk waiting for them, they stop coming in. When workplace teams can't see real occupancy, they can't make smart decisions about space.

The result: wasted real estate, frustrated employees, and hybrid policies no one trusts.

Parso Desk Booking fixes this β€” with hot desking and desk hoteling so simple that booking takes seconds, and analytics so clear you can finally see what's actually happening in your office.

How It Works

Book a desk in seconds β€” from anywhere

Choose when you're coming in

Select a date, pick a time range β€” full day or just a few hours β€” and see what's available instantly. Employees spend less time planning and more time doing their best work.

Date & time selection step

Find the perfect spot

Browse available desks by floor, building, or location. Filter by amenities like standing desks, dual monitors, or ergonomic chairs. See availability in real time on an interactive office map.

Confirm in one tap

Review your booking details and confirm. You'll get a push notification reminder the night before and morning of β€” so you never forget you have a desk waiting.

Check in automatically or with one tap

Parso can auto-check you in when you badge into the building through access control integration. Or check in manually through the app β€” with optional geolocation validation so only people actually at the office can confirm.

Capabilities

Everything workplace teams need to run hot desking and desk hoteling at scale

Interactive office maps

View real-time desk availability on a visual map of your office. Navigate floors and buildings to find open spaces instantly.

Amenity filters

Tag desks with amenities like standing desks, monitors, or quiet zones. Employees filter and find the workspace that fits their needs.

Smart booking rules

Set booking limits, advance booking windows, and priority access by team or role. Give managers early access while keeping things fair for everyone.

Fixed & flexible assignments

Assign permanent desks to specific people on specific days, or leave them fully flexible for hot desking. Mix both models across floors or departments.

Automated no-show release

If someone doesn't check in within a configurable time window, their desk is automatically released and made available to others.

Team-based zones

Organize desks into zones by department or team. Ensure Marketing always sits together on Tuesdays, or keep Engineering on the same floor.

Push & email reminders

Automated reminders via push notification and email β€” the day before, morning of, and at check-in time β€” to reduce no-shows and keep attendance predictable.

Delegated booking

Admins and office managers can book desks on behalf of employees β€” useful for onboarding new hires, organizing team days, or hosting visitors.

White-label branding

Customize the app's look and feel with your company's colors and branding. Employees see your brand, not ours β€” driving adoption and familiarity.
