Check in Automation using Badge, SVLive, Sensors or Geolocation
Using various data sources automatically check a user in to a booking. Such as:
- Badge data - When a user swipes into the floor
- SVLive - When a user logs into a device on the floor
- Geolocation - When a user is detected in proximity to the building
- Sensor - When a user is detected at the booked desk
With SVLive, use the automation based on where the person is detected:
- Check in when user docks at a desk they have made a booking at
- Notify user if they are sitting at a desk that is different to the one they have booked, and to cancel their old booking and book the desk they have sat at instead
- Notify user if they are sitting at a desk booked by a different user
- Check in when a user is detected on wifi on the same floor as their booking
- Prompt a user to cancel their booking if they are not detected on SVLive within the check in window
- Prompt a user to cancel their booking if they are not detected on SVLive for several hours after checking

With SVL2 integration into Engage, it would be great if there was some system intelligence/automation with this feature.
Like If person shows on site and docks at a desk, the desk is not booked and the person has no booking, if the engage system could then automatically book a desk for a person. -
With the integration of Engage and SV Live, some automated notifications should be made available. For example:
- Notify users if they are sitting at a desk that is booked for someone else
- Notify users if they are sitting at a desk different to the one they booked and prompt them to cancel other booking -

Using the SVLive utilisation data to identify if a user if docking into a desk that has been booked by someone else.
A prompt could appear on the detected users device that their desk is booked by someone else or that they havent booked it. -

Geofencing should also determine which options are shown in the concierge menu, so that users are presented with data that is relevant to their current location.

Utilise the geolocation capability of mobile devices so that as people enter a workplace a notification automatically pops up and asks them to 'Check In', if check requirements are enabled. This geolocation is based on each building's long and lat details in building configuration.
This could also be reversed that each time someone travels more than XXXm/ft from the building it pops up to confirm if they are checking out for the day.
-
As smartphones are able to sense location, enable geofencing of office locations so as a person approaches/enters the workplace each day, the app can either generate a pop-up asking the user to check-in or be configured to hard (auto) check the person in, depending on business rules.
The app could then also monitor if the person has a desk booking and if not, automatically offer options based on previous booking history.
The same logic could be used to offer check-out for the day functionality and/or feed into SVlive attendance/occupancy reporting.

Have the ability to use SVLive to:
1) auto check-in at a desk you've booked via Engage app2) reserve the desk in Engage
3) release the desk reservation in Engage if you are not docked in at the desk unless you've booked the desk all day via Engage or for a specific time period

Once SVLive integration is built into Engage it would be beneficial to have an OPTION to use SVLive real-time Utilisation to release desks IF:
If they check-in but do not dock within a specified time frame (Example 1 Hour)

User books a desk. Client has desk utilization/occupancy sensors. Person that was not the original reservation owner sits at this desk. Notify the owner of that desk reservation that they may want to consider a new desk booking.

As a Workplace Manager, I'd like Engage to automatically cancel room reservations if the sensors in the booked room detect that there is no activity after a configurable amount of time so that the room can be freed up for others to use, resulting in a more efficient use of space.

Using sensors, provide automation for desks and spaces to:
- prompt a user to confirm they have arrived at the desk and check in
- prompt a user to cancel a booking if they are not detected at the desk after check in time, and cancel the booking if not cancelled or booked in
- Automatically cancel a space booking if no activity is detected
