Meeting Rooms - Display daily bookings

[Countdown]

Bit of a tough thing to explain so I will keep it simple. I want

- An Ipad/tablet sized screen that I can attach to the wall of each of our meeting rooms which shows who has booked it.

- The screen needs to update on a “Live” basis (ie somebody in Finance books Room2 and the screen updates automatically)

- The bookings are made via the Company Outlook email system.

- The tablet is connected to the company network via Wi-Fi


I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for any advice/comments

We have this on one of our sites, sadly i'm not there today but i'll find out next time I am who provides them

Can also be booked live from the tablet in the room.

Thanks Dan - that sounds even better.

Plenty to pick from, are you invested in any other eco systems?

Personal favourite atm. Evoko Liso https://www.evoko.se/products/evoko-liso/

We've run the older Evoko units and trialed some of the Crestron options, Joan etc. Evoko always wins for us.

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for - although £1000/room might cause issues

It looks like it interfaces seamlessly with Outlook - is that correct? If you can book via the screen itself we would need it to feedback into the Outlook calendar for that particular room.....

We went for Joan and got a 3 for 2 deal from reseller 'jungle It" (no connection to them, was just a good deal!)

We've just had Condecco installed throughout our London office. Seems to do everything the OP needs, although I am merely a "user" of the system.

Thanks all

I've sent the 3 suggestions to our Estates/facilities manager..

I work for a company that do a unit that you might be interested in.

Not only can give live data on amount of people in room etc, can control light, check air temp and air quality.

great for office space and hot desks

PM me if you want a demo of what it can do,

Condeco or Matrix, condeco is a bit old hat but does the job. Depends how big your organisation is/ number of spaces to manage whether it's right for you.

We also have this across our sites and it works well. Integrates well with Outlook.

Can you not just stick up an old iPad in a frame to hide the wires, and have it showing today’s Calendar for it’s own bookings.

People can then enter bookings directly, or people with editor permission on the calendar can do so remotely?

[PF62]

Go for a system where the person booking the room needs to 'check in' on the screen within 15 minutes of the meeting starting and if they don't the booking is cancelled.

Helps prevents rooms being unused when some selfish tt books the room 'just in case' and doesn't bother to cancel it.

They're not cheap, but... seriously you do get what you pay for.

It does indeed, bookable via Outlook and will be a 'room'. You can walk up to it and grab a room if its free. It'll show any upcoming meetings and when booked 'on demand' won't overwrite anything existing.

They also do this!

We use Bookaroom http://bookaroom.se/

Works well on our iPad mini's, integrates very well with Outlook

Only downside is the wifi dropping on the ipads every week or so due to being static, which requires flicking onto aeroplane mode and back again to refresh otherwise it won't update with MS Exchange

We have these - Evoko
