1. What is this module about

Buildings and areas are one of the master data modules of Workplace Management.

The Buildings and Areas module allows you to use location information in other modules. This offers practical benefits in other modules. Some examples:

  • Requests: Connecting requests to specific buildings or areas helps the Service Desk quickly locate and resolve issues.

  • Reservation Management: Reserving areas within buildings, ensuring efficient use of space and better room availability.

  • Contracts: Linking Buildings or areas to contracts ensures the cost can be tracked per building or area. leading to better and more data-driven strategic decision-making

Apart from the use in other modules, the Buildings and Areas module can aid in managing your real estate, as it helps to get insights into the organization's buildings, including details like location, ownership, occupancy status, and maintenance history.
