The panel's verdict

anny, from anny GmbH of Cologne, books desks, meeting rooms and parking on interactive 3D maps that administrators edit themselves. The bench scored it strongest on booking and floorplans and integration and administration: single sign-on via Entra ID, Okta or any SAML2/OIDC provider with SCIM sync, two-way Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace calendar sync, a documented Admin API with signed webhooks, and named door and display hardware drew consistent credit. It is weakest at hybrid coordination, with no public information on seeing which colleagues plan to be in, booking next to a colleague, or team days. Pricing transparency spans 6–7: per-resource prices of 5,00 €, 10,00 € and 15,00 € per month are public, but the terms add an unpublished monthly base rate, so a full annual cost is not computable from public pages. Sovereignty scored a flat 7 with hosting stated on servers in Germany; the only two-point spread, 5 to 7 on check-in and rules, tracks how judges weighed an auto-release statement that covers rooms only, and the bench recorded no notable disagreement.

Speaks for it

  • Desks, rooms and employee and visitor parking bookable on interactive 3D maps edited in a self-service Map Designer, with two-way sync into Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace calendars.
  • Single sign-on via Entra ID, Okta, Keycloak or any SAML2/OIDC provider, with automatic SCIM sync of users and groups.
  • Occupancy dashboards with heatmaps per site or across sites, a live check-in ratio, CSV and scheduled exports, and an anonymisation mode that removes the personal reference from booking data.
  • Booking rules documented in depth — limits per day, week, month or year, scoped to resources, groups and user lists, with recurring bookings counted against the limit.
  • Public per-resource prices with a free Starter tier for up to five resources, unlimited users and admins in every paid plan, and a 20% annual saving.

Report an error

Held against it

  • Weakest scores in hybrid coordination, with no public information on a view of who plans to be in, booking next to a colleague, or team days.
  • The terms describe a monthly base rate whose amount is not published, so a full annual cost is not computable from public pages, and above 50 resources an individual offer is required.
  • Auto-release documented for unused rooms only, with no public information on release of unconfirmed desks, approvals for restricted areas, or fair allocation of scarce parking.
  • The hosting provider behind the German servers is not named, the independently collected sovereignty fields mark data residency unconfirmed, and the SOC 2 report is expected only in Q1 2027.
  • No public information on audit logs or administration delegated per site, and single sign-on sits in the custom-priced Enterprise tier.

Report an error

Best for

  • You manage desks, meeting rooms and employee parking across several sites and want one planner on interactive 3D maps your own team edits.
  • Your estate runs on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID and you need SCIM provisioning, two-way calendar sync and a documented API with signed webhooks.
  • You answer to a works council and need a German contracting entity, an offered data processing agreement, named subprocessors, and configurable anonymisation and deletion periods.
  • You want to start free: the Starter plan covers up to five resources at no cost, with no credit card required to begin.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • Your core need is colleague-level hybrid coordination — seeing who plans to be in on a given day, booking next to a chosen colleague, or team days — the bench's weakest criterion at 4–5.
  • You must compute your full annual cost from public pages before contacting sales: the monthly base rate is unpublished and above 50 resources pricing becomes an individual offer.
  • You need occupancy measured by sensors, badge or Wi-Fi data: the documented analytics are built from bookings and check-ins.
  • You need a SOC 2 report in hand now; it is described as in progress with the report expected in Q1 2027.

Desk, room & parking booking

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What can be booked and how easily: desks, meeting rooms, parking spaces and other resources (lockers, equipment, EV chargers), interactive floor plans per site and floor, desk attributes (monitor, standing desk, accessibility), neighbourhoods and zones, hot and assigned desks, recurring and multi-day bookings, booking for colleagues and guests, room booking synced both ways with Microsoft 365 or Google calendars, room displays, booking from the web, mobile apps, Outlook, Microsoft Teams and Slack, and several languages.

0 — Books nothing for an organisation's own staff; a customer appointment tool or a facility system without self-service booking.

3 — Desks can be booked from a list or a simple plan in a web app; rooms, parking, mobile apps and calendar integration are basic or not described.

5 — Desks, rooms and parking on interactive floor plans for several sites and floors, desk attributes and assigned desks, recurring bookings, booking on behalf of colleagues, mobile apps, room bookings synced with Microsoft 365 or Google calendars, and booking from Microsoft Teams or Slack.

8 — Neighbourhoods and zones per team, an Outlook add-in that books a room and a desk together, room displays with check-in, guest and visitor bookings linked to the host's desk, resources such as lockers and EV chargers, floor plans imported from CAD or drawn in an editor, accessibility of the apps stated, and the product in German and other languages.

10 — Booking that runs a multi-country estate: every resource type above on one plan, wayfinding to the booked desk, booking from every channel with parity documented, catering and equipment with the room, and the accessibility of web and apps documented to WCAG 2.1 AA.

Desks, rooms and parking sit on interactive 3D maps built on our own floor plans with a self-service map designer, each parking spot carries properties such as wallbox or barrier-free, and booking runs from the web, iOS and Android apps, an Outlook add-in and Microsoft Teams with two-way sync into Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Visitor parking is managed in the same calendar as team spots, catering add-ons attach to room bookings, and the product is available in 28 languages. I found no public information on team neighbourhoods or zones on the plan, wayfinding to the booked desk, or accessibility of web and apps documented to a standard, which keeps this just short of the top level. 5 3 15 14 6 2 9

Check-in, auto-release & booking rules

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the booking is kept honest and fair: check-in by app, QR code, NFC, room display, Wi-Fi or sensor, auto-release of desks and rooms nobody checked in to, booking rules per site, area or group (how far ahead, how many days a week, maximum duration), approvals for restricted areas, assigned and permanent desks with release when the owner is away, fair allocation of scarce parking (lottery, rotation, priority for disabled or EV drivers), capacity limits per floor, and notifications and reminders.

0 — No rules at all; any booking stands whether or not anyone arrives.

3 — A booking can be cancelled by the user; check-in, auto-release and booking rules are basic or not described.

5 — Check-in by app or QR code, automatic release of unconfirmed desk and room bookings after a set time, booking windows and limits per site or group, restricted areas for named groups, assigned desks that their owner can release, and reminders before the booking.

8 — Check-in by room display, NFC, Wi-Fi or occupancy sensor, rules per area and user group with approvals, fair parking allocation by lottery or rotation with priority spaces, capacity limits per floor, permanent desks released automatically during absence synced from the HR system, and the no-show logic documented.

10 — Rules that run themselves across an estate: every check-in method above, automatic desk assignment from team and attendance plans, policy changes rolled out per country with an audit trail, and no-show and release rates reported per site with the method stated.

Check-in happens by QR code at a self-service terminal, by tap on the room display and in the apps, unused rooms are automatically released, and the booking rules are documented in real depth: limits per day, week, month or year, scoped to a resource, group, category or service, with block and allow lists and every appointment of a recurring booking counting against the limit. Communities give named groups their own quotas and gated access to resources, and reminders go out by email plus paid SMS, WhatsApp or Telegram.

What I miss is any fair allocation of scarce parking (lottery or rotation), approvals for restricted areas, and check-in by Wi-Fi or occupancy sensor; the auto-release statement covers rooms, and we found no public information on release of unconfirmed desk bookings or automatic release of permanent desks during absence. 17 2 15 16 9

Hybrid work coordination

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How people plan office days together: a weekly view of who will be in the office, home office and absence, favourite colleagues and teams, team days and anchor days, booking next to colleagues, office events, attendance planning and office policies (for example two office days a week) with nudges rather than enforcement, the planner inside Microsoft Teams, Outlook or Slack, sync with absence and HR systems, and visibility settings so employees decide who sees their plans.

0 — No view of colleagues or office days; booking only.

3 — A list of who has booked a desk on a day; team planning, policies and visibility settings are basic or not described.

5 — A weekly planner of office, home and absence days, favourite colleagues and teams, booking a desk next to a colleague, team days, the planner in Microsoft Teams or Slack, notifications when colleagues plan to come in, and a visibility setting per user.

8 — Anchor days and office policies per team with nudges, office events and invitations, sync with absence and HR systems, recommendations of the best office day for a team, delegation for assistants, and visibility and privacy options documented for employees and admins.

10 — Coordination that changes behaviour and is measured: team plans that book desks and rooms automatically, policy adherence shown only in aggregate, works council-ready configuration documented, and the effect on office attendance reported with the method stated.

The planner books office, home office and after-work event days with one click per day and plans a whole week in a few clicks, reachable in Microsoft Teams, with absences synchronised both ways to Personio and HRworks — enough for anchor days at policy level. Profiles and a person search by roles, skills and interests help people find each other, an incognito mode and deactivatable visibility give employees control over who sees them, and a role-based widget checks presence quotas as target against actual in aggregate.

Occupancy analytics & employee privacy

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the data is worth for a real estate decision and how it treats the people it measures: utilisation per desk, room, zone, floor and site, booked against checked-in or measured use, peak days and times, no-show rates, room size against meeting size, occupancy sensors, badge, Wi-Fi or people counting data, scenario planning for consolidation, scheduled reports and export to Excel or BI tools, and on the other side aggregation, anonymisation and minimum group sizes, configurable retention and deletion of booking records, role-based access to personal data, and documentation a works council or data protection officer can work with.

0 — No reports of any kind; only the current bookings are shown.

3 — Booking counts or a utilisation chart per site; check-in data, export, retention and anonymisation are basic or not described.

5 — Utilisation per desk, room, floor and site over time, booked against checked-in use, no-show rates, peak days, CSV or Excel export, a retention period for booking data stated or configurable, and reports that can be limited to aggregates.

8 — Occupancy sensors or badge and Wi-Fi data combined with bookings, room size against attendance, scenario or consolidation planning, a BI connector or analytics API, anonymised reports with minimum group sizes, role-based access to personal booking data, deletion periods per data type, and material for a works council agreement published.

10 — Evidence a portfolio decision can rest on: measured and booked occupancy reconciled with the method stated, data quality and sensor accuracy documented, raw data exportable in an open format, privacy by design documented down to field level, and a sample works council agreement or DPIA published.

Utilisation is reported per resource, group and address with heatmaps on the interactive map including a 3D view per site or across sites, week-by-hour and day-by-month distributions for peak analysis, and a real-time check-in widget setting checked-in bookings against the total — the booked-versus-arrived split I need before any board decision on Munich. Dashboards export widgets to CSV and scheduled automatic exports ship bookings and customer data as CSV, role permissions govern which dashboards each admin sees, and the deletion-periods app anonymises booking data for utilisation reports while removing the personal link, with free and paid bookings configurable separately.

On the people side, an anonymisation mode keeps booking data for utilisation reports while completely removing the personal link, deletion or anonymisation periods are configurable in weeks with free and paid bookings set separately, and dashboard visibility is permissioned per role; we found no public information on occupancy sensors, consolidation scenario planning, minimum group sizes in reports, or a DPIA or sample works council agreement. 20 21 15 9 14

We found no public information on minimum group sizes for reports, sensors, or material for a works agreement, the default retention of at least ten years would need negotiating down hard, and the widget that checks daily bookings against presence quotas by role — for example first-aiders — is exactly the sort of function our works agreement would have to govern. 9 14 20 21

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where employee profiles, bookings (who sat where on which day), presence and absence plans, parking licence plates and sensor data are stored and processed, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, email and push notifications, maps, analytics, support and payment tools, hardware and sensor clouds). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. A calendar integration with Microsoft 365 or Google that the customer already runs is part of the customer's chain; the vendor's own hosting and subprocessors are what is judged.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.

5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (email and push notifications, analytics, support, payment, sensor clouds) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated — or an on-premise edition documented that keeps every record on the customer's own servers.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, or an on-premise edition with no call home, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

The contracting entity is anny GmbH of Cologne with all data hosted on servers in Germany in the EU, a data processing agreement is offered to customers, and anny GmbH holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certificates with a public Trust Center, while SOC 2 is in progress with the report expected in Q1 2027. The privacy policy names subprocessors with their addresses — bunny.net in Slovenia, MapTiler in Switzerland, Pipedrive in Estonia, Stripe for payments, Framer in the Netherlands — and states that the Google, LinkedIn and TikTok tags are not used on the booking page or admin area. The hosting infrastructure itself is not named and an on-premise option appears only in a support note about data host regions, which holds this just below the top level. 10 14 12 13 11 17

anny GmbH in Cologne is the contracting entity, hosting is stated as servers in Germany with a data processing agreement offered to customers and a processing agreement signed with the hoster, the subprocessors I can see are named with locations (bunny.net in Slovenia, MapTiler in Switzerland, Pipedrive in Estonia, Irish entities explicitly kept off the booking and admin areas), and ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certificates are published with SOC 2 in progress and the report expected in Q1 2027. The hosting infrastructure provider itself is not named and a US subsidiary exists alongside the German entity, and the independently collected residency and hosting attributes were marked unconfirmed, which is why I stop short of the top of this band. 10 11 12 13 14 21

anny GmbH in Cologne is the contracting entity, all data is hosted on servers in Germany, a data processing agreement is offered, and the privacy policy lists subprocessors with locations — Framer in the Netherlands, bunny.net in Slovenia, MapTiler in Switzerland, Pipedrive in Estonia — with an EU-based inference provider as AI fallback, alongside published ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certificates and SOC 2 expected in Q1 2027. We found no public information naming the hosting provider or infrastructure behind those German servers. 10 11 12 13 14 21

anny GmbH of Cologne is the contracting entity, an order-processing agreement is offered to customers and concluded with the hoster, ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certificates name the GmbH itself, and the pages state hosting on servers in Germany with subprocessors listed by location — bunny.net in Slovenia, MapTiler in Switzerland, Pipedrive in Estonia. The captured material gives different signals on data residency — the independently collected sovereignty fields mark it as not confirmed — the hoster behind the German servers is not named, and SOC 2 is only expected in the first quarter of 2027. 10 12 13 14 21

anny GmbH in Cologne signs the contract, all data is stated to run on servers hosted in Germany, a data processing agreement is offered, ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certificates are published for the GmbH, and the privacy policy names its subprocessors with addresses — Framer in the Netherlands, bunny.net in Slovenia, MapTiler in Switzerland — with tracking tools explicitly kept off the booking and admin areas. It stops short of the top level because the application's own hosting infrastructure goes unnamed in what I read, the trial site warns of tools from third countries, and a US subsidiary exists in Delaware. 10 11 12 13 14

anny GmbH is registered in Cologne, the pages state hosting in Germany with a data processing agreement offered to customers and concluded with the hoster, and the privacy policy lists subprocessors with addresses — Framer in the Netherlands, bunny.net in Slovenia, MapTiler in Switzerland, Pipedrive in Estonia — stating that Google, LinkedIn and TikTok tags run on no booking or admin pages, with ISO 27001 and 27017 certificates published for anny GmbH. We found no public information naming the hosting infrastructure itself, SOC 2 is described as in progress with the report expected Q1 2027, payments run through Stripe without a stated processing location, the trial site carries its own third-country warning, and an on-prem option appears in one support note without documentation. 10 11 12 13 14 17

Pricing transparency

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per tier by user, desk, bookable resource, site or device, what rooms, parking and analytics cost on top, which features (SSO, SCIM, HR sync, sensors, room displays, visitor management, API) need a higher tier or an add-on, hardware prices and their licences, platform or setup fees, minimum users or minimum spend, the free tier and its limits, minimum term and VAT.

0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, desks, rooms, sites or devices is unclear.

5 — Tiers are public with their price unit (per user, desk, resource or site) and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (room or parking booking, SSO, analytics, displays or sensors, setup) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule, add-ons and hardware licences priced, setup and platform fees stated, minimum users or spend stated, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of users, desks, rooms, parking spaces and sites, with every add-on, hardware, support and implementation fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.

Tiers are public with unit and inclusions: Starter free forever for five resources, Essential at 5,00€ per resource, Professional at 10,00€, Business at 15,00€, unlimited users and admins in every paid plan, a 20% annual saving, net prices plus VAT and termination on 30 days' notice in text form. Priced extras include SMS, WhatsApp and Telegram reminders at 0,12 € per message and the web assistant from 4 ct. per message, with the API in Business, extended booking rules from Professional and single sign-on in Enterprise. Enterprise itself is custom, anything beyond 50 resources requires an individual offer, the check-in terminal is on request and the monthly base rate named in the terms carries no public figure — so the annual cost of a several-hundred-desk estate is not computable from the public pages alone. 9 11 16

All four paid tiers are public with their unit — 5,00€, 10,00€ and 15,00€ per resource per month, custom pricing from 50 resources, unlimited users and admins in every paid plan, 20% annual saving, VAT treatment and a 30-day termination notice in text form — plus usage-priced add-ons at ab 4 ct. per chat message, ab 24 ct. per phone minute and 0,12€ per SMS, WhatsApp or Telegram reminder. Two things keep me from computing our full annual cost: the terms describe a monthly base rate whose amount is not published, and the check-in terminal is 'Auf Anfrage'; display hardware prices and any setup fee are likewise not stated. 9 11

Tiers are public with a clean unit: Starter free up to 5 resources, Essential 5,00€ /Ressource, Professional 10,00€ /Ressource, Business 15,00€ /Ressource, Enterprise custom from 50 resources — with unlimited users, 20% annual saving, net prices plus VAT, and per-use prices such as the phone assistant ab 24 ct. / Minute and messaging at 0,12 € / Nachricht. However, the terms describe a monthly base rate for which we found no public amount, single sign-on is an Enterprise feature, the API starts at Business, and hardware and the check-in terminal are unpriced or Auf Anfrage. 9 11 14 16

Five plans carry public per-resource prices — Starter free for up to five resources, then 5,00€, 10,00€ and 15,00€ per resource per month — with unlimited users in paid plans, a twenty percent saving when billed annually, VAT treatment and thirty-day termination stated, and message-based add-ons priced per unit. The terms describe a monthly base rate whose amount we found no public information on, the check-in terminal is priced only on request, and above 50 resources an individual offer is required — so for a company our size the real annual cost is not computable from public pages alone. 9 11 16

I can read most of my monthly bill straight off the pricing page: a free Starter tier for up to five resources with unlimited users, then 5,00 €, 10,00 € or 15,00 € per resource per month, 20% off when billed annually, prices net plus VAT, and priced extras like 0,12 € per SMS or WhatsApp message and the phone assistant from 24 ct. per minute. With 40 desks, three rooms and twelve parking spots I would be over the fifty-resource line where an individual offer takes over, and I found no public information on room-display hardware prices or on the amount of the monthly base fee the terms describe. 9 11 14

Four of five tiers carry public per-resource prices (5,00 €, 10,00 € and 15,00 € per resource per month, 5,00 € per child resource, 20 % annual saving), the free tier's five-resource limit is stated, unit prices for SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram and the AI assistants are published, payment processing costs 5 % of the total plus 40 ct. per booking, prices are net plus VAT, and the contract runs indefinitely with 30 days' notice. The terms, however, define the fee as a monthly base rate plus the per-resource charge and we found no public information on the base rate's amount; single sign-on sits in the custom-priced Enterprise tier, the check-in terminal is on request, and above 50 resources requires an individual offer — so the full annual cost is not computable from public pages alone. 9 11 14 16
