We are introducing a new mobile app, Robin Workplace. Robin Workplace is a new end-user app for employees built with new technology for a faster experience. We are launching this app alongside the existing Robin app to test the new mobile experience at scale before migrating all customers from the current Robin app.
In this guide, we’ve summarized the use cases and expectations for each app.
1. Robin app
- This is Robin’s original app for end users and employees. All customers not participating in the Parking and Locker early access program should continue to use this.
- It will continue to be available for the next few quarters alongside the Robin Workplace app.
2. Robin Workplace app
- This is the new Robin app for end users and employees who are participating in the Parking and Locker early access program. Organizations using custom resources must use this app to access custom resources on mobile.
- It's built with new technology for a faster experience.
With Robin Workplace, you can:
- See a map view with available parking, lockers, and desks, and book them.
- Select a space to view details.
- Use the schedule view to see your working location, including assigned and hoteled desks and events for the day (when your personal calendar is connected).
- See space suggestions when an event doesn’t have a space (but you can’t change the suggestion).
- See desk suggestions if a desk hasn’t been booked (but you can’t change the suggestion).
