No end user needs convincing that a room booking system would be helpful, but Vision believes that many potential buyers are deterred from buying existing solutions. because they have been prohibitively expensive. Vision believes the price point of their new solution will trigger a mass market.
Vision Freespace: room-booking at a new price-point.
Freespace is a ‘locked-down’ Android tablet with a pre-loaded app. It mounts on wall outside meeting room and shows bookings for that room or any other room in the building. One device can service one room or a cluster of rooms.
Vision’s Stuart Lockhart explains: “If you need to find an available room just walk up to the nearest Freespace to find and book an available room. Freespace works with Microsoft Exchange Server and all setup is done in Exchange overcoming push-back from network administrators who don’t want to load foreign software on their system.”
“An image area on the screen shows scrollable images such as company logo, promotional offers, or room images – whatever the end-user needs, and images can be deployed centrally. The device can use Bluetooth to log occupancy of rooms for reporting.”
Freespace is now shipping with SSPs of: GBP 656 / EUR 924 / USD 1025 / AUD 1379
