My overall experience with Smartway2 has been positive. The platform’s user-friendly interface makes managing and booking resources straightforward. Its real-time booking capabilities are convenient and enhance productivity. However, occasional glitches and limited customization options can be frustrating. Overall, it's a solid tool for improving resource management and space utilization.

Pros

Smartway2's user-friendly interface, real-time reservations, and effective resource management improve productivity and space use. I use it everyday to boo a hotel.

Cons

Occasional glitches and limited customization options.

As stated above this was required for desk booking, however we have since rolled out VR, EV and other functionality across multiple sites. We have very little support calls come through from users and overall positive feedback since the service was bedded in.

Pros

The application works very well, but the support given has been exceptional. This was originally required for desk booking during covid but the business quickly took to the system and have been requesting further functionality since. The majority of, if not all, of this functionality has had tight deadlines however these have been hit due to our incredibly respondent Account Manager.

Cons

It would be useful to have some communication about new features/updates coming up.

Smartway2 has good reporting features which helps us view the usage of our office spaces which will help shape the future of our offices,

Pros

That we could prepopulate a set of check points before employees could book a desk - This feature was valuable to support employees returning during the pandemic.

Cons

A feature that would be good to incorporate is if you could be taken straight to the floor you regularly book desks on as a default instead of having to select each time.

Smartway2 has reduced our no show rate by over 70% do to email reminders and signage outside of each meeting room which requires employees to check in via their security badge. We have received great value from this solution since we installed in 10 months again.

Pros

Outlook integration is very easy to use - IT team were very happy!
Implementation was great. We were up and running in days.
Digitial signage helps us reduce our meeting no shows and increase conf room utilization.
Able to book rooms and desks with one mobile app.

Cons

Would like to see them provide desk signage to track utilization and check in for mobiel workers. They say its coming soon.

Response from HubStar

Overall, I'm happy with the system, and look forward to new functions in the system that may help our business.I must say, Raj is by far the best and most approachable person I've met on any contract I've worked on. Nothings is too much. Raj always has the answer and helps make the changes we need and want. Having this type of customer service really makes a difference.

Pros

Easy to use from a user perspective. Easy to use and edit from an Admin perspective. Visually easy to understand and no fuss.

Cons

We have to advise user to press the clear button often to refresh and changes made.
