Overview
The client needed a simple but functional desk reservation app for Suite 205. The goal was to allow employees to view available cubicles, reserve workspaces, manage their active reservations, and give administrators a portal to manage cubicles, bookings, and approvals.
Challenge
- Employees didn't know which cubicles were available, reserved, or under maintenance.
- Admins needed visibility into usage, approvals, and manual booking needs.
- Required a visual, easy-to-use solution for both employees and admins.
Solution
MSPowerhouse built a Power Apps desk reservation app with a visual floor plan experience. Users could see cubicles by availability status, select an available workspace, and complete a reservation request. The booking form allowed users to select a date range, enter a purpose, and submit the reservation. The app also supported recurring reservations for repeated workspace needs.
The solution included a user dashboard showing active reservations and an admin portal for workspace management. The admin portal displayed key operational metrics such as total cubicles, available cubicles, reserved cubicles, maintenance cubicles, and pending approvals. Administrators could also create bookings directly, manage booking records, and oversee the reservation process.
Technical Execution
- Visual floor plan UI showing cubicles by availability status.
- Booking form with date range, purpose, and recurring reservations.
- User dashboard for active reservations.
- Admin portal with operational metrics and direct booking capability.
Outcome
The client received a centralized workspace reservation app that made desk booking easier for users and gave administrators operational control. Employees could quickly identify available cubicles and reserve space, while admins could monitor availability, bookings, maintenance status, and pending approvals.
Impact
The app replaced informal desk coordination with a structured reservation system. It improved visibility, reduced scheduling confusion, and gave the client a scalable foundation for managing shared office space.
