Roadmap 2018

2017 was an amazing year for OfficeR&D. We released a lot of great new features and improvements.

Of course, we have bigger plans for 2018. After lots of conversations, brainstorming sessions and customer discussions, we created the first version of our Roadmap for 2018:

We’ll continue to innovate and create better management capabilities, more automation, and better integrated and connected flexible workspace.

Possible Third-party Integrations

• WiFi – Cisco Meraki, Mikrotik, and any other radius-enabled router;

• Printing – PaperCut;

• Guests/Visitors – Greetly, Envoy;

• Contract e-sign – HelloSign, DocuSign;

Please, note that these are direct integrations we’re planning to work on over the next months but we can’t commit that they will all fit into 2018.

Add-ons & Extensions

In 2018, we’ll be aiming to connect more and more points of your shared workspace.

Meeting Room Tablet App

• Check in/Check out – add an option to require members to check-in, otherwise the room might be released; Also, provide check-out to release the room if you finish early;

• Direct bookings – allow members to book directly from the tablet;

Front-desk Tablet App (NEW)

• Guests/Visitors check in – allow your members’ guests to check-in digitally;

• Member check in/check out – require your members to check in which will improve your presence tracking and billing via time passes;

Of course, a huge part of our planned work for 2018 is to continue improving all the existing functionality, integrations and better support you and your growing businesses.

Even more, we’re already working on massive User Interface & Experience face-lift that will span through all our products, from the Management platform, to the Mobile app, Member portal, and all Extensions. It is going to be Great!

These are a lot of items, right? Sure, they are. But our growing team and drive to completely connect your flexible workspace motivate us even more to continue our amazing product journey.
