Desk Booking That Lives Inside Microsoft Teams
Hybrid work created a new headache for office managers: knowing who's coming in, where they'll sit, and whether there are enough desks. Seatti solves this by embedding a desk booking and office scheduling tool directly into Microsoft Teams. No separate app to install, no new login to remember. Employees open Teams, click the Seatti tab, and book a desk, meeting room, or parking spot in seconds. The Munich-based company built Seatti specifically for Microsoft-centric organizations, and that tight integration is its primary advantage.
The reason Teams integration matters so much is adoption. Every standalone desk booking app faces the same challenge: getting employees to actually use it. When the booking tool lives inside the app people already have open eight hours a day, adoption rates jump dramatically. Seatti reports 80%+ adoption rates within the first month, which tracks with what I've seen from other Teams-native tools compared to standalone alternatives.
Add Seatti to Your Microsoft TeamsHow the Booking System Works
You start by uploading your office floor plans into Seatti's admin dashboard. The system overlays interactive hotspots on the floor plan for each bookable resource: desks, meeting rooms, phone booths, parking spaces, even lockers. Employees see a visual map of the office with real-time availability color-coded. Green means open, red means booked, and grey means unavailable. Click a desk, pick a date and time, and confirm. The booking syncs to the employee's Outlook calendar automatically.
Recurring bookings handle employees who come in on fixed days. Book every Tuesday and Thursday desk for the entire quarter in one action. Team scheduling lets managers see who on their team is coming in and coordinate in-office days for collaboration. The "find my colleague" feature shows where specific people are sitting on any given day, which solves the surprisingly common problem of walking around a large office looking for someone.
For office managers, the analytics dashboard tracks utilization rates by floor, zone, and time of day. This data directly informs real estate decisions. If the third floor averages 23% utilization while the second floor hits 87%, you have a clear signal to consolidate. Companies using Seatti report reducing their office footprint by 20-40% based on actual utilization data rather than guesswork.
Pricing Breakdown
Seatti offers three tiers. The Basic plan costs EUR 1.90 per user per month and includes desk booking, floor plan maps, and basic analytics. The Professional plan at EUR 2.90 per user per month adds meeting room booking, visitor management, parking reservations, and advanced analytics. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes SSO, dedicated support, API access, and multi-location management.
For a 200-person company on the Professional plan, that's EUR 580/month or about EUR 6,960/year. If the utilization data from Seatti helps you eliminate even one floor of leased office space, you've saved tens of thousands annually. The ROI math is straightforward, which is probably why the tool's sales cycle with facility managers tends to be short.

Seatti holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating on Software Advice. Users consistently praise the Teams integration and the visual floor plan interface. The most common complaint is that the mobile experience, while functional, feels secondary to the desktop Teams experience. A few reviews mention that initial floor plan setup takes time if your office layouts are complex or frequently change.
The competitive landscape includes Robin (starts at $5/user/month), Envoy Desks ($3/user/month), Officely ($2.50/user/month via Slack), and Skedda (free for small spaces). Seatti's differentiator is the depth of its Teams integration. Robin and Envoy are platform-agnostic, which means they work everywhere but integrate deeply nowhere. Officely is the Slack equivalent of what Seatti does for Teams. If your organization runs on Microsoft 365, Seatti is the natural choice. If you use Slack, look at Officely instead.
Practical Considerations
Seatti requires Microsoft 365 with Teams. It won't work for organizations on Google Workspace or those using Slack as their primary communication tool. The admin setup takes 1-3 days depending on how many floors and locations you need to configure. Floor plans need to be uploaded as images (PNG or PDF), and each bookable resource gets manually placed on the map.
The tool handles multi-location offices well, which matters for companies with multiple branches. Each location gets its own floor plans and booking settings. Employees traveling between offices can book desks at any location from the same Teams interface. For companies with 50-5,000 employees across multiple offices running Microsoft 365, Seatti is one of the most natural fits in the desk booking category. The tight Teams integration removes the biggest barrier to adoption and delivers the utilization data that justifies real estate optimization decisions.
