Book rooms or desks effectively in Outlook

 Search for all meeting rooms or hot desks across multiple locations and time zones. Instantly know the availability of the room before you try booking it. See who has booked the room if it’s occupied, and when the room will be released.

The AskCody Add-ins for Microsoft Outlook is a more powerful way to find and reserve the perfect room that meets all your requirements with flexible features you won’t find in Outlook or Office 365 natively.

With all your room resources in Exchange connected to AskCody and installing the AskCody add-ins for Outlook, you can browse maps and apply advanced filters that go beyond Outlook to find and reserve the perfect workspace, meeting room, or any other bookable resource.

Filter and sort

Search for rooms that meet your criteria

 Users can search and sort by the purpose of a meeting (e.g. external meeting or video conference), specific features (room with a whiteboard or projector), and guaranteed attendee capacity.

Finding the right room has never been easier.

The same filtering and search options you have in AskCody for Outlook, is available on Mobile as well.

“A Wonderful Upgrade to our Room Reservation System!"

I LOVE that AskCody is integrated with Outlook. It makes reserving, editing and canceling reservations so quick and easy. The interface is very easy to use and is so customizable to our needs. I love that we can make it our own and customize our rooms, vendors, and services from the Admin side"

"Quality room management system with quality people supporting it"

I give AskCody 10/10. It is a phenomenal solution. Easy to implement. It's easy to train on, and it is easy to use. We use AskCody to allow our population to easily and confidently book rooms across all our offices, giving them the ability to do it themselves. Kind of removing the middle person"

"We needed a standardized system that was easy for people to use

and that could automate the current processes. With AskCody, employees can now book rooms and request services themselves, and it gives them a kind of self-service aspect where they can take control of their own meetings."

"Our goal was to find a partner,

who can hear our concerns, understand our requirements, support us in our project, and then provide a solution that best fits Olympus. With AskCody (...) it is not only a business arrangement it is a partnership."

Need coffee? Food? Room setup?

Book rooms, order services, and add visitors in Outlook too

AskCody's Outlook Add-ins isn't just about room availability or the place to meet. 

It's about the right room, at the right time, in the right setting, for the rights purpose. And when that's set, add the food, beverages, coffee, or other needed meeting services too, right inside the same meeting booking experience inside Outlook. 

Imagine like having a web shop for all meeting services, office amenities, room settings, catering options and more, inside Outlook. That's connected and integrated with the Facilities Management or Hospitality Management backbone. AskCody is just that.
