HubStar’s New Automatic Workplace Check-In Tool Set to Consign Manual Check-Ins to the Past

Manually checking into that desk or meeting room you’ve booked is an irritating extra step for employees who are merely trying to collaborate or focus on individual work. With the launch of our new Auto Check-In feature, it’s become unnecessary. Read more in this press release, originally published on FM Business Daily.

As part of its mission to provide organizations with the advanced capabilities they need to manage their hybrid work environments, HubStar – an industry leader in hybrid workplace solutions – is launching an innovative Auto-Check-In tool for hybrid employees.

The cutting-edge enhancement is designed to give both full-time and hybrid employees a better workplace experience by reducing the friction typically caused by manual check-in procedures.

HubStar’s advanced Auto-Check-In feature will enable employees to automatically check into their reserved desks and rooms simply by arriving at the office. They will no longer have to follow the traditional manual processes that often require a lot of time and effort and can cause friction in the workplace.

Making it simpler and easier for hybrid employees to access the office may also incentivize them to make the commute into the office more often, HubStar believes.

Chris L’Hommedieu, HubStar’s Vice President of Product Strategy, said: “With HubStar’s new Auto-Check-In feature, we’re taking the hassle out of hybrid work. Through our advanced mobile app, there will be no more manual check-ins and no more missed reservations—just a seamless experience that enhances productivity.”

He added: “Historically, hybrid employees have faced the inconvenience of manually checking into desks and conference rooms to prevent their reservations from being canceled. Forgetting to check in often leads to double bookings, conflicts, and a significant dip in productivity. This friction has even driven some organizations to disable check-in functionality altogether, sacrificing the invaluable attendance data needed to gauge the performance of their Office as a Service.”

HubStar’s advanced Auto-Check-In feature will also smooth the management process for administrators by giving them reliable and clear data about office attendance. Prior to this, many administrators tended to doubt the accuracy of scheduling data because it relied too heavily on employees checking in to their reservations. With automatic check-in, however, there is no longer any room for doubt.

Chris L’Hommedieu explained: “For administrators, this means high-confidence office attendance analytics without compromising the user experience. They will have the reliable data they need to monitor and optimize their Office as a Service, ensuring that their hybrid work strategy is not only effective but also continuously improving.”
