The ghost report informs you about the minutes and spaces wasted on booked but unused areas. With clear metrics and graphics, it highlights the most relevant information, helping you better understand your spaces and locations to make effective improvements.

The report provides you with answers to queries such as :

  • The space/money/minutes wasted on booked but unused spaces.

  • How many minutes are wasted in each room, who's wasted the most minutes?

  • On the ghost meeting, was the room check-in active and did it cancel the meeting therefore saving time

  • In recurring meetings, which are the worst offenders, how do I find them and cancel them?

  • What percentage of minutes in available meeting room time are actual ghost meetings, therefore allowing me to quantify the waste of time
