# High mobility, many locations, little predictability

> Consulting and IT companies typically have low attendance rates, high mobility between locations and strongly fluctuating peak days. Door James supports that with cross-location booking, team days, the colleague finder and quotas for parking and meeting rooms, which in this industry are scarce more often than desks.

Where the workforce is rarely in the office at the same time anyway, it is not about administering desks but about reliable coordination.

## Key facts

- **Typical ratio:** often 0.5 to 0.7 desks per person
- **Location switching:** book at any location in one app
- **Bottleneck:** usually parking and meeting rooms
- **Coordination:** team days and colleague finder

## Features

- **Book across locations** – Working in Düsseldorf today and Munich tomorrow means switching location in the app and booking there.
- **Coordinate team days** – Teams see colleague presence and book next to each other.
- **Allocate parking fairly** – The most common bottleneck in this industry – solvable with quotas and booking before departure.
- **Welcome clients** – A professional reception without reception staff at every site, through kiosk and automatic host notification.

## The real problem is coordination

In organizations with 30 to 50 per cent attendance, lack of space is rarely the issue. The issue is that people travel to the office and find nobody they wanted to talk to. That is exactly what the colleague finder, teams and shared agenda links are for: they turn an individual decision into a coordinated one.

## Parking as an underestimated bottleneck

Reports in this industry frequently show the same picture: desks are plentiful, parking spaces and larger meeting rooms are not. Both can be steered with the same logic – quotas, lead times and a check-in requirement with automatic release.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Door James worth it with low attendance?

Especially then. The lower the attendance, the larger the space potential – and the more important reliable coordination on the days teams do meet.

### How do we handle strongly fluctuating peaks?

Through quotas, lead times and approvals for areas in high demand, plus reporting that makes the real peak days visible.

### Can project teams get their own areas?

Yes, through zones with their own colour and optional access rules that can also be time-limited.
