We're excited to introduce you to our latest Flexopus feature: cost center analysis. This innovative tool was developed to make the management and billing of your booked properties more efficient and transparent. In this blog article, we would like to introduce you to the functions and benefits of this new feature.

Why a cost center feature?

Companies that engage in desk sharing are often faced with the challenge of effectively managing the use and billing of desks and other resources. Especially in larger organizations or when working with various subcontractors, it can be difficult to keep track of things. Our cost center feature offers a solution here by enabling detailed and anonymized analysis.

How does the cost center feature work?

1. Record usage: Users can be assigned precisely to a cost center. This assignment is saved every time the person makes a booking and remains the same even when booking anonymization is activated, which ensures detailed tracking.
   ‍
2. Evaluate cost centers: The entered bookings can be exported as an Excel file, for example. This file can be further processed individually in order, among other things, to distribute rental costs transparently and fairly between the various cost centers.
   ‍
3. SCIM integration: To avoid the manual assignment of users to cost centers, user information can be synchronized efficiently via the SCIM interface. This saves time and reduces errors during data maintenance.
   ‍
4. Integrate with Smart Analytics: It is also planned to integrate the cost center feature into our Smart Analytics tool. This will enable you to gain even deeper insights into the usage patterns and efficiency of your resources.

Beta feature

We are pleased to be able to offer this feature as a beta version for now. This early phase allows us to collect feedback from our users and further optimize the tool.
