Hamilton Apps has been designing software for the workplace since 1992. Development and support teams are based in France, data is hosted in France, and the whole suite meets GDPR requirements. Each application can be deployed as a hosted service or within your own infrastructure, and adapts equally well to a company of a few dozen people and to an international group spread over hundreds of sites.
One portal, one site, one application
Whichever application you use, you always go through the same portal with the same account. After signing in, Hamilton Apps asks which site you are working on, then which application to open. Depending on your organization's setup and your rights, both steps may be skipped automatically: if you have access to a single site and a single application, you land straight inside it.
This design has a welcome practical consequence. You have only one password to remember and one display language to set, and you can move from one application to another without ever signing out. To get started, see "Sign in to Hamilton Apps" and "Choose your application and site" in the Getting started user guides.
The four products
Hamilton Meeting manages meeting rooms and everything that revolves around them. You search for an available room by date, capacity and equipment, book it from the search results or directly from the planning, invite internal and external participants, and order the services that go with the meeting, from catering to additional equipment. Bookings can be recurring, delegated to an assistant, subject to validation, and backed by automatic reminders. Statistics then show how your rooms are really used.
Hamilton Deskbooking supports hybrid work and flex office. Everyone books a desk on an interactive floor plan or from a filterable list, declares their work presence for the coming weeks, and releases their desk when they no longer need it. Presence rules are defined per service or per site, with an approval circuit when the organization wants one. Team presence shows who will be in the office on a given day, and occupancy statistics inform real estate decisions.
Hamilton Visitor digitalizes reception and the control of people flows. The host pre-registers the visit, the front desk records the arrival and later the exit, and the badge is printed to the template defined by your organization. Around this journey come vehicles and parking, the reception and delivery of parcels and mail, taxi booking, the tracking of external contractors, restricted zone access, and the follow-up of mandatory documents. Dedicated search screens answer the everyday questions of reception and security in seconds: who is on site, who owns this badge, where is this visitor.
Hamilton Security is the digital duty log of security and safety teams. Agents start their shift, consult the instructions in force, record the day's events, run their missions and checklists, lend and take back keys, issue fire permits and record people movements. Supervisors follow patrol activity, open events and agents on site in real time, then generate the reports and dashboards they need.
Two audiences, two families of guides
This knowledge base distinguishes two roles. The user performs everyday actions: booking a room or a desk, welcoming a visitor, keeping the duty log. The administrator prepares the ground: creating resources, defining rules, connecting peripherals and granting rights.
User guides and administrator guides are therefore kept separate, each split by product. A single topic is often covered on both sides, with a cross-reference from one to the other: the user article explains the action, the administrator article explains the setting that makes it possible.
What the four products share
The products rest on common foundations, which considerably reduces the setup work when you deploy several of them. The description of places is shared: sites, site groups, buildings, floors, counters and parkings. So are people, whether residents, companies, departments or services.
Accounts and rights follow the same logic from one product to the next: users gathered into rights groups, with a site scope that determines what each person sees. Provisioning can be automated from your directory, and sign-in can rely on your Microsoft or Google accounts.
Finally, the same reflexes apply everywhere: customizing the email templates the application sends, importing data in bulk rather than typing it in, scheduling automated tasks, checking available licenses, and printing or exporting any list displayed on screen — see "Print and export data from any list" in the Getting started user guides. The portal appearance and the labels shown on screen can also be adapted to your organization.
