Condeco to deliver office space success for Hermes
Press release, 05/10/2009
Hermes, the UK’s largest courier home delivery network, has signed an exclusive agreement with workspace management company RNM Systems to implement its Condeco Lite Room Booking software and touch screens at its new UK head office in Leeds.
Hermes will use the workplace management software solution and Condeco Room Screen digital signage products to manage its 16 meeting rooms, raising the occupancy levels of its office space and boosting the efficiency of room booking for its staff.
Alan Nicholls, head of design and delivery at Hermes commented: “Having recently moved into new offices, our goal is to raise utilisation of our new meeting rooms and to guarantee that staff can take full advantage of these facilities without the usual problems of double-bookings and ‘no shows’. Condeco will not only help us to convert room booking into a self service task, but it will also allow us to factor in a variety of different resources, like audiovisual and video conferencing equipment and catering, which can also be ordered online through the system.”
The touch screen enabled digital signage installed outside every meeting room will display real-time information on meetings taking place and will enable staff to check in and out of the rooms before and after a meeting. If nobody attends the meeting, the room will be released and considered empty, allowing others to take full advantage.
“With video conferencing on the rise and our meeting rooms more sought after than ever, we fully expect that Condeco Room Booking software and Condeco Room Screen will become an integral part of the way we work and will benefit the company substantially,” concluded Alan.
Paul Statham, managing director at RNM Systems/Condeco, said: “We are delighted to have signed this agreement with Hermes. We are convinced that Condeco will enable Hermes employees to work more effectively on a day-to-day basis and help the company to make the most of its new facilities and optimise utilisation of its meeting rooms.”
