WorkInSync connects to Microsoft 365 at three points: identity (so employees sign in with their existing Microsoft account), Outlook (where meetings and visitor invitations are scheduled), and Teams (where same-day bookings and other regular activities happen). You can deploy both the Outlook add-in and the Teams app centrally, so employees find them already in place rather than installing anything themselves.
- One record across the suite
Because identity comes from Microsoft 365, a booking made in Outlook, in Teams, or in the WorkInSync app is the same person’s booking. Employees see one set of reservations regardless of which tool they used to make it, and admins get one attendance and occupancy record per employee rather than three different ones.
- Rooms booked as part of the meeting
When someone sets up a meeting in Outlook, they select a room in the same flow as choosing the time and attendees. The room is reserved and the reservation syncs to both personal and corporate calendars. This removes the most common source of double bookings: a room held in one system while the calendar in another system says otherwise. One timeline, one source of truth.
- Guests invited in the same step
External visitors can be invited directly from the scheduling interface. The add-in handles their registration details and the room allocation together, so a client meeting is one action rather than a calendar invite plus a separate visitor request to reception.
- Single sign-on
Employees sign in with their existing Microsoft credentials. No separate account to provision, and access ends automatically when someone leaves the organisation.
- Alongside Teams
WorkInSync also has a conversational chatbot on Microsoft Teams, which employees can use to make bookings with a single line. For example. “Book a meeting room for 4 at 3pm”. Most organisations deploy both, since employees split their time between the two.
