Hi Product Hunters! I'm Max one of the co-founders here at Officely.
We passionately believe Flexible Work, giving employees the autonomy to choose where they work each day, is the future of work.
But it's far from easy! Not knowing who's working where can mean everyone just stays at home, which can hit collaboration, your company culture and make employees feel isolated.
Officely shows you who's working where each day so you can choose the most productive place to work. Whether that be at home, in the office or on the go. We'll even suggest the best days to go into the office based on who else will be there. On days that you do go in, we'll book you a desk, lunch order or whatever it is you need to do your best work. Best of all, we do it all within Slack!
Officely makes Flexible Work, really work.
📍 Who's Where, Anytime, Anywhere
Always know who’s working where—be it the office, home, or halfway around the world. With Officely, you can get working location visibility directly in your Slack channels.
🏢 Increase Office Visibility
If your employees don’t know who is in the office, they are unlikely to go in. Officely broadcasts who is booked in each day and what’s happening in the office to your Slack channel.
🤖 Smart Office Day Recommendations
Officely recommends the best days for in-office collaboration based on team preferences and needs, right in your Slack workspace.
🙋♀️ Boost your Office Attendance
Give people a reason to come in! See who’s coming into the office each week, organize parking and team lunches, and open a daily office chat to prevent bothering those working from home.
📅 Resource Booking
Make sure your employees have what they need to do their best work. Book a desk, meeting room, lunch or even your dog into the office.
📈 Make data-driven decisions
From office usage to individual attendance, we provide insights for you to understand what is and isn’t working at your flexible office.
🙌 All inside Slack
No need to onboard your team, assign logins or introduce a new tool. Officely lives where your team already works, inside Slack!
Would love to hear your thoughts!
@max_shepherd_cross2 Congrats on the launch folks. This is a really interesting idea and I love the way you have communicated it on your website. My team works remotely and this seems like a good try for me.
Congrats Team Officely on the Producthunt launch! Fantastic concept. A suggestion - perhaps integrating a feature to enable users to share their experiences or feedback at their respective workplaces? A kind of social layer that could enhance community feel amongst teams. All the best!
This is a really great concept! So many companies need this to keep employees engaged! Congrats on the launch Rich!
Excellent tool for hybrid work environments! To further enrich its utility, consider adding environmental sustainability metrics like energy consumption patterns in the office.
Been using Officely for 2 years now and it’s made a huge difference in how we manage our hybrid setup. Particularly helpful to know which dogs are coming into the office so that employees who are not happy with dogs in the office can plan ahead!
Thanks so much @valeriomagliulo! Loved having you as a customer over the years
I love Officely! It unobtrusively gives me the most convenient way to share my week's schedule without having lengthy sync threads with co-workers
Something that seems to becoming more prevalent post-COVID is the concept of satellite offices, specifically for SME's who'd traditionally only have one office. For example, having smaller east/west offices in big cities to cut commute times, or regional offices.
Does Officely support this? I think a good office management tool would help promote this, and enable easy employee management across different satellites.
Hi @alexpainter we do indeed, is this a use case at your company? I'd love to show you a demo if so
@max_shepherd_cross2 Awesome! It was being spoken about at my last company - before I left to bootstrap my own! Good luck, product looks wicked 🙂
Incredibly useful, particularly for businesses that have scaled during the pandemic and have grown their teams remotely beyond the number of physical seats / desks they have available. Slack and G-mail integration is seamless and a winner too!
A very helpful tool in making flexible working actually work! A great way to enable in person team collaboration and visibility across the team.
I can't speak highly enough of Officely, Max, Krissy and the rest of the team. They are simply the best.
We have been using Officely since May 2021 and have been really pleased with how it fits with our virtual first workplace model. We almost went with another desk management tool but then found Officely and since it was integrated with Slack, it sealed the deal for us. Our team members were already huge Slack users so Officely was really easy to implement.
Although we are virtual first we still work to build communities through connectivity. Officely allows us to do that by providing visibility of who will be in the office on certain days. It even allows us to indicate who is bringing their dog to the office. I'm sure that some team members just come in for the dog energy.
Congats to Max and the Officely team on a fantastic product.
Thanks so much for all the support @david_anglo, we have loved working with you too
Love this - solves such a critical problem in managing a hybrid workforce (especially with offices in multiple regions)
Very helpful tool for flexible business, it makes it easy for team collaboration and visibility. Great job!
Officely helps make order out of hybrid workforce chaos--and they are responsive to feature requests!
Hi @daniel_10 we only emailed people who signed up to use Officely. But if you reply to my email I’ll happily remove you from our database.
@max_shepherd_cross2 nah mate, I never signed up for whatever this is. Maybe someone in my org did but that’d mean you’re scraping people’s emails and again spamming marketing without consent.
The concept of tracking employees' daily locations and activities raises concerns about privacy and potential micromanagement. While the idea of optimizing workspace efficiency is appealing, striking a balance between convenience and respecting individual privacy is crucial for the ethical implementation of such systems.
Congratulation on the successful launch of Officely on Product Hunt! I can't wait to try and provide you my feedback!
