Optimized resource management: Flexopus introduces the new cost center feature

We are pleased to introduce our newest feature at Flexopus: 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 advantages of this new feature.

Why a cost center feature?

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

How does the cost center feature work?

1. Record usage: Users can be precisely assigned to a cost center. This assignment is saved with each booking made by the person and remains even if booking anonymization is activated, ensuring detailed tracking.
   ‍
2. Evaluate cost centers: The recorded bookings can be exported, for example, as an Excel file. This file can be further processed individually to, among other things, distribute rental costs transparently and fairly among the various cost centers.
   ‍
3. SCIM Integration: To avoid the manual assignment of users to cost centers, user information can be efficiently synchronized via the SCIM interface. This saves time and reduces errors in data maintenance.
   ‍
4. Integration into Smart Analytics: We also plan 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 initially as a beta version. This early phase allows us to collect feedback from our users and further optimize the tool. Your experiences and suggestions are particularly important to us to ensure that the cost center feature is best tailored to your needs.

Advantages of the new feature
