A floor plan that shows occupancy

The floor plan in Doory is not a picture but a layer over your records. You draw units, desks and meeting rooms with the floor plan editor, and on top of those objects you see live what is available, what is let and what is booked today. You work in a draft version and only publish when it is right.

The floor plan is usually a PDF in a folder

Almost every building has drawings, and almost nowhere do those drawings say anything about the current situation. The PDF comes from the architect, the occupancy is in Excel and the meeting rooms are in a booking tool. If you want to show a prospective tenant what is available on the second floor, you open two files and explain the rest.

From drawing to working floor plan

You import the existing drawing from PDF or DXF, so you don't start with a blank canvas. In the editor you place objects over the drawing: units, desks, flex desks and rooms. Each object is linked to the real record in Doory, and through that to the contract, the price and the bookings.

If you are working on a new layout, you do that in the draft version. Nobody else sees anything change until you publish. When you're done, you publish the new version and it works everywhere: in the back office, in the tenant portal and on the kiosk.

The overlays make the difference in daily use. Turn on the occupancy overlay and you see in one view which units are let and which are vacant. Turn on the bookings overlay and you see which rooms and flex desks are taken today, and at what time. For a leasing conversation, that is the only screen you need.

What it saves in practice

You no longer have to update drawings after every change. If you split a unit, you split it on the floor plan and the records follow. If you take a unit out of use, that shows on the map. That also makes the floor plan a way to check your records: a unit that is empty on the map but let in the list stands out straight away.

Where the product stops

Doory is not a drawing program. The editor is meant for placing objects on an existing drawing, not for making architectural plans. If the underlying drawing is wrong, that remains work for your architect or draughtsperson.
