Our work with Building Design Partnership (BDP) began in 2021, when they were in the midst of formalising their hybrid working policies and processes.
BDP is a global multidisciplinary design practice and the UK’s largest architecture firm. BDP works in collaboration with a network of architects, engineers, and specialists to deliver projects in healthcare, education, and urban regeneration. They operate around a central purpose – to design a world that’s built for good – good for the world as it is now and good for the world of the future, placing an emphasis on sustainability and social value.
BDP has a large workforce spread across multiple UK studios.
Bringing the organisation into the hybrid world presented them with logistical challenges and they needed a system to support them to manage office attendance and desk capacity, provide teams with visibility of colleagues’ whereabouts, and remove the need for manual scheduling.
We worked with BDP to centralise their hybrid working processes, based around 3 pillars – visualisation, integration, and insight. We delivered the following:
Our solutions gave BDP a central, streamlined approach to hybrid working management, with rapid adoption and without the need for training due to our integration with Microsoft 365.
An added benefit is that Team Today’s built-in safety and compliance features mean that BDP can use the system to help meet their health and safety responsibilities.
We have developed a partnership with BDP that continues to evolve and remains highly collaborative.
We look forward to continuing to support BDP as they grow, and we are here to support you too. You can find our more about implementing an office space management system for your hybrid team here.
Really useful tool
Team Today has been so useful for our team to keep in the loop with everyone's whereabouts across multiple office locations and easily be able to gauge desk space. Really recommend this particularly for dispersed teams and hot desking booking purposes, It's really easy to use and handy that it syncs to the outlook calendar so prevents duplication

Simplicity & Value at its finest!
This app is just perfect for organising hot desking & meeting rooms in our office. It syncs to our Outlook and is simple enough for people to use with virtually no training, but still has the capabilities to configure it to our specific requirements. The people at Team Today are friendly, professional, and extremely helpful offering a perfect solution without being over-priced!

Indispensable Tool
Since covid by business has adopted a hybrid working policy, and we quickly realised this new way of working posed new challenges as we struggled to keep track of colleagues' whereabouts. After looking at several tools we selected Team Today because of the way it integrates with Microsoft Teams and Outlook so effortlessly and provides a clear at-a-glance view of where our staff are. The support from Team Today has always been excellent (although we've needed very little help as the platform is very reliable and easy to use). And new features are always being added which always add value to what is already a tool that has become part of our business, and certainly one we could not be without.

Really great, cost-effective tool!
Simple but very effective! They're continually developing too so there's so much more to come. Outside of using Team Today to track people's whereabouts it's a fantastic tool for managing annual leave. I transitioned our company to this (from the dreaded Excel sheets) and it's far simpler to manage; there are reports available, it's easy to change people's yearly allowances, add company/bank holidays etc. Looking forward to seeing what the next few years has in store on the development front!

Fantastic functionality & customer service
As a small charity we have had a fantastic experience using this. It is incredibly affordable. The seamless integration with Teams is very useful, we have had little-to-no teething problems across the team (which for IT related things is quite impressive!). Any time we have had an issue or question it has been responded to with efficiency. The team are extraordinarily helpful! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent App
This app was so easy to install and navigate - It's an excellent way to find out which teams are in the office on a specific day. The intuitive design and seamless functionality are a testament to the design team's understanding of their customer, and the integration into Teams is perfect. Their customer service is exceptional, with queries and requests being promptly and efficiently addressed. I highly recommend using this app to navigate the complexities of remote working and having an office. Thank you
