On April 28, 2022, RDN Group announced that it had implemented the Intranet Space for the United Metallurgical Company (OMK), a manufacturer and supplier of integrated solutions for the oil and gas industry, power, transport, construction and other sectors of the economy, to optimize work in open space offices in conditions of covid restrictions and hybrid graphics. In the coronavirus pandemic , the service allowed the company's employees to reserve jobs and meeting rooms in offices remotely with an individual level of access to data through a QR code. 

The created Intranet system offers employees whose schedule is based on partially or completely remote work to plan their office visit or business meeting remotely - through the program to find a free place in the office on a given date, select options with the necessary level of access to confidential information. The program automatically sets the distance between booked places, which, during the restriction period, allowed employees to remain in working mode.

We provided our colleagues with the opportunity to work partially or completely remotely and moved away from fixed office jobs. In this regard, we had a need for a service that would allow our employees to receive up-to-date information about available jobs, and for us to assess the workload and demand of jobs in order to optimize our costs for renting office space. The ready-made solutions that are on the market did not meet all our requirements. The "Space" service developed for us takes into account both current practices in the market and the features of our work, "- said Natalia Eremina, president of the United Metallurgical Company.

Therefore, I had to quickly introduce the current functionality into the service without changing the launch dates. Important was a base of 30,000 employees to integrate with - HR systems for quick and easy work with the Intranet and distribution of access level. I am sure that the development of such technology and its application the Russian in companies will increase efficiency and flexibility in providing labor resources, "- told Dmitry Rossikhin, director of RDN Group.

The developed system allows you to book a workplace or meeting room from different, cities of Russia both with and computer. mobile phone The interactive space map allows you to quickly navigate the office, which is especially important for employees on a business trip. During the project, the RND Group team conducted integration Bitrix with HR systems and "" 1C to simplify the independent work of the service administrator with the Intranet.
