The DSS-100 desk scheduling indicator is designed to enhance and simplify desk scheduling across an enterprise. The DSS-100 installs on the underside of a desk or similar mounting surface, providing a clear indication of the desk availability via its integrated tricolor LEDs. Custom scheduling placards are generated and installed into the DSS-100, which include a unique QR code linking directly to the desk schedule and reservation functions. The DSS-100 also integrates seamlessly with a variety of popular third-party scheduling partners via the XiO Cloud® provisioning and management service.
Third-Party Scheduling Partners
The DSS-100 supports various popular third-party scheduling partners, making it easy to integrate desks directly into the existing enterprise scheduling calendar with no programming required. New partners are made available via the XiO Cloud service. Setup is as simple as selecting the desired scheduling partner from XiO Cloud and then creating reservable desks for each DSS-100 within the partner calendar system.
