🎓 The Challenge

Departments were operating in silos. Ghost bookings, double reservations, overbooked rooms… The system simply wasn’t working.
To break the cycle, they decided to shift their approach, moving from fragmented room booking to a smart timetablng strategy powered by ADE Campus.
And it completely changed the game.
