"Great tool for hybrid workplaces"
What do you like best about Officely?

We use Officely through Slack and it’s been really helpful for us as a hybrid team. Since we only spend part of the week in the office, it makes it easy to book a desk, see who else is coming in, and plan our days better. The Slack integration keeps it simple and in one place, which our team appreciates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super helpful in our hybrid office environment, easy to use, and great customer support!"
What do you like best about Officely?

Officely makes it easy for us to know who is in the office and when. Being able to schedule out in advance is super helpful, especially when we have teams flying into the office woh can reserve a space a head of time to reduce maxing out our limited desk space. Having Officely integrated with Slack makes it extremely easy for anyone to use and reduces the burden of needing to login to another website or download another app like other competetors we have tried in the past. Implementing Officely was super easy - easy to setup, easy to maintain, and easy for folks to navigate and understand with little to no training. I have also been impressed with the responsiveness of the customer support team. We have had a few glitches pop up, but the support team has always been responsive and quick to resolve the issues that do pop up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

Occasionally we have run into a few glitches with the daily auto post announcments but the support team has been quick to resolve this when the issue does pop up. Another thing that I would say is a downside is that even though Offiely does offer a feature for employees to opt into lunch, it isn't a feature I find very helpful since there is no way for folks to select or submit their lunch preferences and dietary resticitons. It would be nice to have a polling feature - we currently use another integration for polls that we use to facilitate our lunch selections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fostering Office Camaraderie"
What do you like best about Officely?

I love that I can see who is coming into the office each day so that I can make plans like arranging a team lunch or after work drinks to help build on our office culture! I check my app every morning when walking to work, which motivates me to go to the office and see the team in-person. As a hybrid worker, there is nothing better than arriving at a full office and knowing who you will connect with that day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

The only downside is if it's not being used regularly. I remind employees that by logging in, it is a great initiative to created a more connected office culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for coordinating office co-working"
What do you like best about Officely?

The way it can be easily integrated into Slack offers a native way for me and my colleagues to schedule workplaces. It's easy to check for the office plans and which team members will show up in the office, we easily implemented the office floor plan, and use it daily to see who will visit the office. They also have awesome customer support ready to resolve any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

Nothing particulary, seems like great tool for our small business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
