The move to a hybrid work model has given companies the
opportunity to reassess and optimize their office space. But the
hybrid evolution has also introduced the challenges of motivating
employees back to the office, and the need for data and insights to
understand space configuration and continued investment.
“Businesses know they have to earn the commute to get hybrid
work employees into the office. The answer is not to add more
foosball tables, but to instead offer a way for employees to plan
their in-office days together,” said Scott Wharton, general manager
of Logitech B2B. “We took a multidimensional approach to building
Logi Dock Flex that not only solves desk booking and management
issues, but promotes social collaboration and gives IT and
workplace managers data on how the tech and space are being
used.”
A McKinsey Social Capital survey* shows that employees overall
report feeling less connected to people within their company
networks. Through Logitech’s desk booking service, employees can
plan days in the office with their teams, book a desk through Logi
Tune and notify their teammates in-app. Once on-site, they simply
plug into Logi Dock Flex with a single USB cable and quickly get to
work.
With an 8-inch display, three USB ports in the front and three
more in the back, Logi Dock Flex supports dual display, network
connection and up to 100 watts of power, allowing for both secure,
standard-issue device connections, as well as for employees to
bring their own device. Employees can personalize their workstation
with their own background photo and away message, and join meetings
with one touch through calendar integrations with the Logi Tune
app. And for ad-hoc booking, the interactive panel signals whether
the desk is available or not.
IT teams can quickly install and deploy Logi Dock Flex at scale
with secure cable management for clutter-free desk areas. Through
Logitech Sync, IT can monitor and manage Logi Dock Flex remotely to
adjust booking settings, manage equipment, and customize according
to the company’s hybrid policies.
Logi Dock Flex’s multiservice capability allows IT teams to
choose Microsoft Teams, Zoom Workspace Reservation, or Logitech’s
own desk booking service, with an additional choice of booking
platforms to come. Logitech desk booking service is managed through
Logitech Sync and can be deployed with either Logi Dock Flex or by
using QR codes to work stand-alone, not requiring any purchase of
Logitech hardware.
For Facilities Managers, real-time insights and analytics on
space usage help them understand how flexible office and
return-to-office policies are performing. Workplace management data
like desk utilization, peak occupancy rates, and user behaviors
take the guesswork out of usage and space planning.
Approach to Sustainability
Logitech is committed to creating a more equitable and climate
positive world by actively working to reduce our carbon impact.
That’s why Logi Dock Flex will partially be made using lower impact
materials like post-consumer recycled plastics and low-carbon
aluminum when possible, and will be shipped in responsibly-sourced
packaging.
Pricing and Availability
Logi Dock Flex, offered in off-white, will be available globally
in Fall 2023 through authorized sellers and on logitech.com with a
suggested retail price of $699 USD. Logitech’s desk booking service
is available for free, and can be requested today through the Sync
management portal. Premium features like usage insights, alerts,
and floor plan maps are free during the public beta through July 1,
2024.
