Pros / Cons
- Simple and works! When I want to visit my office, I can easily see what spaces are available and save myself a cubicle to work from for the day.
- It loses the bluetooth connection to the printer whenever the printer is power cycled and it's not easy to re-link it without quitting the app and restarting. If a management device isn't powered on every so often it has to be re-authenticated which is a pain.

- It is very user friendly for the guest checking in and has help reduce any confusion in the office or having multiple people go to greet that person.
- Dont have the availability to cature phone numbers correctly, dont have the availability to send sms to only certain customers, dont have availability to log customers out without stating they had an appointment, and limit analytics.
