Implementation begins with a kick-off call where the project scope is defined, stakeholder roles are aligned, and timelines are agreed upon. This typically occurs within 1 week of contract signing.
Administrators then create office locations in the Admin Panel—defining office names, addresses, active status, floor structures, opening hours, and access controls. This_setup typically takes 1–2 days, assuming floor plan assets are ready.
Organizations can integrate SSO/SAML (e.g., via Okta) and use SCIM for automated user and group provisioning. Configuration and testing of authentication flows usually take 1–2 days.
Deskbird connects with essential platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, Outlook/Google Calendar, often alongside HRIS tools. This synchronization ensures real-time booking and check-in functionalities and normally takes 2–4 days, depending on API complexity.
Admins configure desk and room booking policies (e.g., desk types, hybrid work rules), enable automatic check-ins, set up kiosk modes for rooms or visitor sign-ins, and tailor resource access restrictions. This phase spans 2–5 days, influenced by office size and complexity.
A small group of users enters a pilot phase (typically 1–2 weeks) to validate booking flows, check-in processes, kiosk functionality, and internal communications. Admin panels are refined based on feedback.
During and after the pilot, Deskbird provides onboarding support via its Quick Start Guide, admin webinars, official YouTube onboarding series, and roll-out playbooks. This stage takes an additional 1–2 weeks.
After successful testing and positive pilot feedback, the platform is opened for the entire organization. Adoption rates are tracked, and internal champions help drive usage. Deskbird offers ongoing support during this final phase, typically completed within 4–6 weeks from initiation.
Deskbird is highly customizable, offering deep alignment with specific business requirements:
Deskbird does not charge separate setup fees—the quoted pricing for each plan (Starter, Business, Professional, Enterprise) already encompasses onboarding and implementation. Routine maintenance and software updates are included in the subscription fees across all tiers. Basic support is integrated into each plan, with standard Tier 1 support available Monday–Friday, typically responding within a few hours. Enterprise customers receive elevated service: these plans include dedicated Customer Success Managers, faster SLAs, and tailored incident-reporting support without extra implementation cost. While standalone modules (e.g., room booking, workforce engagement) are individually priced, all essential ecosystem maintenance remains bundled—no hidden ongoing fees.
Deskbird invests significantly in onboarding and education. Upon setup completion, new users receive access to a detailed Quick Start Guide covering app download, account setup, desk booking, and check-in flows. Additional resources include a "Getting Started" help center, video tutorials, and step-by-step guides. The customer support team responds swiftly through a contact form, triaging issues with full contextual details to facilitate fast resolution. Enterprise users benefit from live onboarding sessions (webinars or video calls), direct Customer Success Managers, and priority ticket handling. Feedback submitted through support channels feeds directly into the product roadmap.
