At the Turning Torso we book laundry slot via the web. Artologik EZbooking runs the bookings of premises and activities in Europe's second highest residential building.
When the Turning Torso - Malm”'s new imposing edifice - looked for a booking system, their choice was made on Artologik EZbooking. The software administrates the bookings of all common activities and premises, from the basement to the 54th floor.
The Turning Torso is renowned for its spectacular architecture and high standard of living. In addition to the housing, the HSB - the owner's association behind the project - really wanted to offer premises and activities of international standard. Thus, HSB acquired Artologik EZbooking, providing the inhabitants with an effective and modern way of booking the premises, by only logging in to the building's intranet.
"With EZbooking it is very easy to book all public spaces", says Jan Andersson, concierge at the Turning Torso. "Everything figures in the software, from the conference room on the 7th floor to the panoramic floors (43rd and 49th), overnight rooms, gym, sauna and jacuzzi on the 43rd, and finally the laundry room.
EZbooking has been used inside the Turning Torso since November, 1st, 2005. "It works perfectly well", continues Jan Andersson. "It is easy to understand and use. It is also commonly used, everyday, all day round."
HSB Malm”'s previous CEO, Johnny ™rb„ck, was the one who authorised the building of the Turning Torso. He himself lives in the building and recognises that EZbooking works just fine. "People are actually starting using more and more IT solutions in the housing branch. After the IT crash in the year 2000, not much happened, until now". HSB initiated the implementation of broadband to all appartments. Already in 1999, 35 000 appartments were connected. "I am convinced that more solutions such as EZbooking will be used in the housing branch, in the future", says Johnny ™rb„ck.
