Microsoft 365 resource booking system
arboo is a resource booking system designed to enable designated users to create resources in Microsoft 365 on their own. Hence it supports ...
Users
… navigate to your SharePoint Online intranet and book resources, such as a meeting room, directly from the intranet. Alternatively, resources can be booked, as usual, from Outlook or Teams.
It has never been easier to organize a catering for the meeting or to ensure that a moderation kit is there for your meeting. Resources can have services attached, so users can book the resource and the service at the same time.
- Simplified bookings
- More transparent processes
- Easiest handling
Local responsibles
… have the possibility to maintain resources on their own in the system. Additional services or equipment can be provided for booking as an extra for each resource. An approval workflow for bookings can also be activated by selecting the appropriate approvers.
arboo fits perfectly as a tool for room reservation with extras such as catering or a pin board . You can also use many more types of resources with arboo: shared desks, pool vehicles, media trolleys … the possible uses are endless.
- Create bookable resources on your own
- Descriptions and photo galleries for resources
- Simpler processes due to bookable services for resources
IT-Department
… arboo unburdens IT departments considerably. By creating locations and defining responsibilities, you can delegate the ability to maintain resources without setting up complex authorization structures in your system.
Complex projects don’t have to be set up booking use cases. Local managers independently take over the maintenance of resources and adapt the booking process to local requirements.
- Simplified IT processes
- Delegation of simple data maintenance processes
- Governance and Compliance

Why the standard management of
Office 365 resources isn't enough
Office 365 resources isn't enough
Resource accounts are stored within Microsoft Exchange. In order for a user to create or manage any resources within Office 365, special permissions need to be assigned. Documentation here.
arboo creates an abstraction layer between the management of resources and the hard permission requirements of the Office 365 environment. An Office 365 / Azure administrator creates an arboo location with responsibles, who then are able to create and maintain resources for that location.
Exchange accounts are still created behind the curtains, but the responsibles persons use user friedly forms for their management process and need no technological background at all. Hence arboo also offers:
Double Booking Protection
Booking Approvals
