This article is a must-read for those in charge who are thinking of updating their office maps because they are using an office map but want to create a more realistic design or want to make it easier to find people!
Challenges that arise after implementing office maps
In the consultations we receive from customer support, we may receive the following issues after implementing the office map.
・The design image on the actual office layout and the office map is different.
・The name is displayed, but it is difficult to call out because I don't know his face.
・I'm in my seat, but I don't know when to talk to him during an online meeting.
By introducing an office map, it is possible to clarify who is where and manage seats, but there are also challenges unique to displaying on the map.
The realism of the office map can be expressed with a 3D map.
All of the issues mentioned above can be solved by preparing a 3D map.
Colorkrew Biz's 3D maps are more realistic than 2D maps because office furniture such as seats and tables are three-dimensional and reproduce the actual office layout as it is.
In addition, in order to reproduce a realistic office layout, office furniture such as lockers, copiers, and houseplants can be arranged according to the actual layout, so that not only can people be managed, but also where and what is available.
In addition, the actual floor color and design expression, as well as the columns and doors, can also be expressed, so by opening the 3D map, you can realize the feeling of being in a real office.
### Find **people easier with photo icons! **
We may receive inquiries from customer support that the names and faces of new employees do not match, such as mid-career employees or new graduates.
Even if you have an office map, it is difficult to talk to them because you can see their names on the office map but do not know their faces.
Since there are multiple people with the same name (last name), it is difficult to know which seat the person is in.
It takes time to find because it cannot display all the names of foreign employees. etc.
There are many companies that have these issues.
Colorkrew Biz's 3D maps can solve the above challenges by allowing you to upload photos to the icons!
By uploading a photo to the icon, it is easier to see who is sitting where, and even if there is someone with the same name (last name), it is possible to search based on the photo.
All names are displayed, so it's recommended for global companies!
### 3D maps can also display
Teams status
Even if you know who is where, you may not know when to talk to them, such as during a meeting or temporarily away from their seat.
You can solve such issues with the status display in Teams!
By using Teams status integration (Microsoft 365 integration), when you select an icon on the office map, the status of Teams (available to contact, importing, temporarily away, etc.) is displayed.
In addition, when you select the icon, the user's name will be displayed as their full name, so you can use it conveniently even if the text is small and difficult to read!
