Over de years we have developed this into the concepts:

We recognized the struggle of many organization to be able to book meetingrooms, and optimize efficiency around managing meetings and meetingrooms. So that’s where it started, from there we added lots of new features, like sensors, floorplans, and even build our own piece of hardware.
What makes it unique?
The uniqueness is that we offer a complete set of functionality, so not only booking of rooms, but also other elements like visitor registration, etc.
How did COVID-19 affect the business?
First COVID made the world shake, but now it accelerates our business, because hybrid working is being implemented world wide at a high pace.
