Everything you've always wanted to know about Deskare, and even more.

General questions

What is Deskare?

drop down
Deskare is a platform accessible on the web, computer and mobile, which simplifies the organization of hybrid work.
Each employee can declare their status for the coming weeks, consult the schedule of their colleagues, reserve a desk or even a meeting room.
Team managers and administrators can set their own remote work rules and access detailed statistics on office use and team presence.
No more Excel spreadsheets to fill in, share your schedule in one click with Deskare!

Is it perceived as a "tracking" tool?

drop down
No! Our team regularly talks with CSEs and staff representatives, who can sometimes be worried about this. But putting the employee experience at the centre, and aggregating data on the administrators' side, systematically reassures these stakeholders. Employee feedback is also excellent!
We also place crucial importance on the security of our users' personal data and compliance with the GDPR, which helps to reassure all stakeholders.

Does Deskare allow flex office to be managed?

drop down
Of course! You can book a desk for the day and change it the next day. As an administrator, you can set gauges that will limit desk booking to make sure everyone has a workstation, and even organise zoning within your spaces. It is also possible to temporarily close zones to booking if you are hosting an event on your premises or if you are carrying out work.

How much does Deskare cost?

drop down
Deskare is a SaaS (software as a service) solution billed per user. Our simple and transparent pricing model adapts to your constraints: 12 to 36 month contracts, tiers and discounts... Contact our Sales team to quickly obtain a personalised quote!

How do you invoice?

drop down
We bill based on the number of licenses on an annual basis: so, in the first year, you only pay for the users during that period. A regularisation then takes place at the end of the period, depending on your evolution! For more information, chat with a member of our team!

How long does deployment take?

drop down
On the company side, depending on your size and complexity. Our integrations (Microsoft environment, HRIS, etc.) save time and automate everything that can be (provisioning, single data entry, etc.)
All invitations are sent to your employees in one click!
On the employee side, once the invitation has been received, account creation takes less than 2 minutes thanks to SSO (Single Sign On)!

Are there any setup fees?

drop down
A one-off setup fee is charged to cover the human time dedicated by our account managers to training and change management, which are essential to the success of your project.
Customised developments may also be charged if your case requires special interfacing. All of this is subject to a transparent quote when you contact us!

Features

Can I declare for a half-day?

drop down
Yes, you can click on the "half-days" button to separate your morning and afternoon statuses.

What statuses can I declare in my schedule?

drop down
There are four different statuses: office, remote work, absence, travelling. For the office status, you can choose your workplace and a specific workstation, if the gauges are not exceeded. Finally, it is now possible to add custom statuses in Deskare!

Can I declare my schedule several weeks in advance?

drop down
That's the goal! You can customise the period open for declaration for your teams, so that your employees can anticipate their schedule! For more advice on optimal setup, you will be supported by an account manager during your onboarding.

Administration and configuration

Do I have to create all the user accounts myself?

drop down
No, Deskare automatically sends invitations by email to all employees, from a list that we retrieve in seconds from your Active Directory (Azure/Entra ID, Google, Okta, OneLogin...) or your HRIS.

How are staff departures and arrivals managed on Deskare?

Users are automatically added and deactivated based on arrivals and departures, thanks to our synchronization with your Azure or Google Active Directory, or with your HRIS. No manual management is required on your end!

Can I set my own remote work rules?

Yes, administrators can define custom rules regarding remote work and days in the office in the organisation's settings. These rules can be applied at several levels (company, teams, offices, individuals...)!

Can I set a maximum occupancy gauge for the offices?

drop down

Can I edit my office plans myself?

drop down

API integrations and connections

What does the Teams/Slack integration consist of?
