Automatic check-in

Accurate office occupancy data

Do employees forget to check in at their desks? Or complain about having to manually occupy? Automatic check-in solves this. Flexwhere detects when someone is in the office and updates the desk status to "Occupied". As a result, your office overview always stays accurate without requiring extra steps from employees.

What is automatic check-in?

Automatic check-in is a feature in Flexwhere that automatically marks a booked desk as occupied when a user is physically present in the office. Flexwhere supports multiple methods to detect presence in the office. Organisations can choose one method or combine several.

Automatic check-in via devices

When connecting a laptop that has the Flexwhere desktop app installed to a docking station or monitor, the desk status is automatically updated to “Occupied”.

Automatic check-in via network

When your desktop or mobile app is active and connects to your office network (Wi-Fi or IP range), our smart technology picks this up and automatically logs the desk you booked as "Occupied".

Automatic check-in via sensors

For organisations that need the highest level of accuracy, Flexwhere supports workplace sensors. These sensors detect real-time desk usage and automatically update the desk status to "Occupied" when someone is present. This works even without a laptop, network connection, or manual booking. Sensors provide the most reliable occupancy data for advanced office analytics.

Smarter office management, automatically 

Automatic check-in ensures your workplace overview is always accurate the moment people arrive. As employees enter the office, their presence is updated automatically, giving everyone a reliable, real-time view of who is in and which desks are truly available. No extra confirmations. No unnecessary steps. No searching for absent colleagues or second-guessing availability. The system keeps your office data clean and up to date, helping teams coordinate their day with confidence.

Manual check-in always available

If automatic check-in is not enabled or not triggered, users can manually occupy their desk by clicking the “Occupy now” button in the app.
