1. Technology overview

deskbird was founded in 2020 by Ivan Cossu and Jonas Hess and is headquartered in Switzerland, with seven hubs across Europe. It started as a tool for booking desks in shared offices and now serves more than 10,000 offices and over 250,000 regular users in 80+ countries, helping organisations of 250 to 10,000+ employees run hybrid offices.

The platform has two layers. Workplace Experience covers desk booking, room management, parking, visitor experience, workplace ticketing and digital signage. Workplace Intelligence provides space utilisation and office attendance analytics. Newer modules include Agentic Workplace, which connects deskbird to Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools, an AI floor plan designer, and deskbird Dock for automatic check-in from a laptop menu bar. Apps run on iOS, Android, Teams and Slack in nine languages.

2. Highlighted features & specifications

  • Desk and room booking: Book desks, rooms and parking with check-in and automatic release.
  • Visitor experience: Pre-registration, reception kiosk mode and branded invitations.
  • Workplace ticketing: Employees report issues and request services in the app.
  • Workplace analytics: Space utilisation and office attendance dashboards.
  • Agentic Workplace: Connects deskbird actions to Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools.
  • deskbird Dock: Automatic check-in and desk booking from the laptop menu bar.

3. Potential application

A software outsourcing firm in Da Nang can switch to desk sharing and track attendance by team. A logistics company with several offices in Vietnam can manage parking and meeting rooms from Teams. A European subsidiary in Ho Chi Minh City can roll out the same tool as its headquarters.

4. Benefits

deskbird claims customers can reduce office costs by up to 32%, and that facilities teams using its utilisation data rent 20 to 30% less space on average. Adoption above 90% means booking data reflects real behaviour. Transparent pricing from 3.75 USD per active user per month lowers the entry barrier for mid-sized firms.

6. Other information
