Overview
Gable's Company Office product supports QR code and NFC-enabled tags that can be physically placed on bookable desks and other resources throughout your office. These tags give employees a fast, on-site way to interact with a resource — whether they want to check availability or book it — without needing to navigate through an app or find the right desk in a list.
How It Works
Each QR code or NFC tag is uniquely linked to a specific desk or bookable resource in your Gable workspace. When an employee is on-site, they can interact with the tag in one of two ways:
Scan the QR code using their smartphone camera or a QR reader app.
Tap the NFC tag with an NFC-enabled device (most modern smartphones support this).
Either action will instantly bring up that resource in Gable's Company Office mobile app, where the employee can view its current availability and book it for the day — right then and there.
Benefits
⚡ Instant, In-the-Moment Booking
Employees can book a desk the moment they find one they like — no searching, no scrolling. Just scan or tap and they're done.
📍 Confidence in What You're Booking
Because each tag is tied to a specific physical desk, employees know exactly what they're booking. There's no guesswork about location, setup, or which desk corresponds to which listing.
👀 Real-Time Availability at a Glance
Not sure if a desk is free? A quick scan shows its current status without requiring a full app session or advance planning.
🏢 Designed for On-Site Use
QR codes and NFC tags are purpose-built for the in-office experience. They support spontaneous, walk-up bookings — ideal for hybrid teams who don't always plan their office days far in advance.
🔄 Seamless Integration with Gable
Everything triggered through a QR scan or NFC tap is fully synced with your Gable workspace, so bookings are reflected in real time across the platform for admins and employees alike.
Where You'll Find QR Codes
QR/NFC tags are posted directly on bookable desks throughout your office. Look for the tag on the desk surface, monitor, or a nearby stand. Your workplace admin is responsible for setting up and assigning these tags within the Gable platform.
