Floor maps connect availability to a physical place. Employees can pan, zoom and book from the side panel, with search for desks and people close at hand.
Their desks.
Their own system.
We built an internal desk booking system for Third Bridge’s global offices, replacing its £30,000 annual OfficeSpace subscription with a platform shaped around its people.

The challenge.
Third Bridge was paying £30,000 a year for OfficeSpace across its global locations. Its teams relied on essential desk booking features, but the recurring subscription left an opportunity to build something more closely fitted to the business.
The brief was to retain the capabilities employees already used, give administrators control over their workplaces and add features that support visitors, teams and shared spaces.
The solution.
Adeptive Solutions created a dedicated internal web application for employees, booking managers, facilities teams and organisation administrators. Microsoft Entra ID sign-in connects access to work accounts, while application roles and site permissions define who can do what.
Employees can find desks by location, floor, date and time, then manage their bookings. Administrators can maintain sites, opening hours, time zones, desk positions and booking restrictions in the same system.

The film introduces desk booking on live floor maps, date and time searches, check-in, early release and cancellation. It shows site and floor administration, desk placement and access controls. It then presents Third Bridge branding, account-free guest booking, restrictions visible on the map, bulk team booking and meeting-room management. All five additions are now live.
Find. Book.
Get on with work.
The essential booking journey stays familiar: choose a place and time, see what is available and reserve a desk. My Bookings brings check-in, cancellation and early release together.

Control over each workplace.
Facilities teams can maintain sites, floors, desks, rooms and neighbourhoods. Local time zones and opening hours support global offices, while map editing lets administrators place and move desks as layouts change.
Five additions.
All now live.
Alongside the essential OfficeSpace features Third Bridge used, the custom system adds these five capabilities. All five are now live.
A familiar identity.
Third Bridge’s own colours, typography and logo carry through sign-in, the dashboard and floor maps. The application feels part of the company’s everyday tools.
A place for visitors.
Hosts can book a desk for a guest without creating a guest account. Guest bookings use desks without people-based restrictions, preserving the rules for employee seating.
Clarity before booking.
Date-specific restrictions appear directly on the floor map. Employees can see where they are eligible to sit before starting a booking, with the relevant rules visible in context.
Book for the whole team.
Managers can reserve desks for multiple colleagues across multiple days in one action. It gives team days and coordinated office visits a dedicated workflow, reducing repeated individual booking steps.
Desks and rooms together.
Meeting-room management brings shared spaces into the same platform, using the same sign-in, maps and rules. Teams can plan their desks and meeting spaces in one place.
The results.
£30,000per year in OfficeSpace subscription savings
Third Bridge now has its own internal desk booking system, retaining the essential workflows its teams used and adding five capabilities tailored to how they work.
Employees have a clear route to a workspace. Managers can coordinate bookings for their teams. Facilities teams can maintain the spaces and rules behind the experience.
The £30,000 figure is the annual OfficeSpace subscription cost removed, as reported for this project. It is not a net saving calculation after development, hosting or maintenance costs.
