Roomzilla is a meeting room reservation system which has mere integrations with calendar systems supported by Google, Outlook, Office 365 and Exchange. It helps users schedule and manage their office space, including conference rooms and office equipment.
Roomzilla also supports API integration, reports and an approval queue.
