Insights
The launch of Logitech's smart office tools represents an incremental revenue opportunity through their service-based business model. The
The AI-powered features and integration with major booking platforms position Logitech competitively in the growing smart office market.

A Steelcase Workplace Survey found that
“With hybrid work so pervasive, the office can feel like the Wild West,” said Henry Levak, VP of Product, Logitech for Business. “Logitech’s smart office tools are the not-so-secret weapon to bring predictability and detailed insights into these dynamic work environments.”
Auto Book and Auto Release solve these challenges: When employees start using a meeting room, Auto Book reserves it. Conversely, if a room is reserved but no one shows up, Auto Release frees the space for others to use. After multiple no-show meetings, the entire recurring series can also be automatically canceled, with the changes reflected in the calendar and on Tap Scheduler.
“Rally Bars use AI in-camera sensors to automatically detect and respond to natural workplace behaviors with no human intervention needed,” Levak added. “Employees can focus less on manual actions and more on collaboration, and IT admins get a realistic picture of which rooms are actually used, not just which rooms are booked.”
Unlock these features in rooms with Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, whether your organization uses Appspace, Envoy, Microsoft, RICOH Spaces, Robin, Zoom, or other booking platforms.
“Auto Book and Auto Release are prime examples of how Logitech shares our commitment to consumer-friendly, intuitive experiences that seamlessly integrate into daily life,” said Paul Alley, VP of Global Partnerships at Appspace. “Together, we’re removing obstacles that stand in the way of employee productivity, while also harnessing valuable data to address today’s business challenges.”
Availability status updates are reflected in near real time in Logitech View, a digital office mapping solution that keeps hybrid workers and visitors oriented with easier wayfinding in large office complexes via quick, color-coded visibility of meeting rooms, workstations, amenities, and exits. Maps can be displayed on large monitors or TV screens using Logitech RoomMate. Using the touchscreen, people can book rooms directly on the map or search for their colleagues’ desks.
The benefits run deep for IT teams responsible for ensuring that conference rooms are equipped with the right technology at the right times, and Facilities teams charged with optimizing office real estate.
“Underutilized and overutilized rooms are bad news for the bottom line,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, Chief Operating Officer and GM of Logitech for Business, ”Logitech Sync Insights gives you data analytics on space usage, occupancy, and the use of video conferencing equipment during meetings so you can make smarter decisions about tech investments and space planning.”
