Case Study: FBC Manby Bowdler achieves COVID-safe hybrid working and optimized office space utilization with Cloudbooking

Innovative Workspace Management Solution to Facilitate a COVID Safe Workplace

FBC Manby Bowdler, a 200‑person law firm operating across six sites, needed an easy-to-use, mobile-accessible booking platform with single sign-on and COVID-safe features to improve space utilization and reassure staff returning post-lockdown. Cloudbooking was chosen as the approved supplier for meeting room booking and desk management technologies to digitally accelerate workplace management with AD integration and CB Mobile with SSO.

Cloudbooking deployed its desk and meeting room management solution — including AD integration, CB Mobile with SSO, 3D digital floorplans and COVID-secure controls — across all 6 sites, quickly enabling hybrid working for FBC Manby Bowdler. The platform improved employee safety and confidence, delivered accurate desk and room usage analytics to inform office consolidation and cost-saving decisions, and increased productivity and space utilization for the firm’s ~200 employees.
