Why Room Panel?
What do we know?
Experience
Room Panel is made up of a team of IT and business professionals. Heading up the team are 2 people who should know better! An IT Director who has worked in the demanding worlds of banking, oil and legal for 25 years and a Developer who was part of the team that created one of the most successful pieces of legal software globally. This man helped make lawyers more efficient, whilst still being able to charge the same amount – but don’t hate us for that!
We Believe in Simplicity
Honesty
We are not offering to sell you an overpriced device that can only be used with our system and therefore tying you into using Room Panel. If you want to use an old iPad or Android device you found at the back of the cupboard then that will work just as well as a brand new one. Most room booking systems have been designed to be bolt ons to existing desk booking systems. Not us – we don’t do desk booking. A recent of survey of job candidates stated that next to money and homeworking, job candidates wanted their own desk. We agree and would like one too.
Technically brilliant
We believe booking a meeting room should simple. Room Panel uses a state of the art system to integrate with Microsoft Exchange Online (or the hybrid version where you have Exchange Online and an Exchange Server onsite), which is the product 99% of businesses use. Seamless integration allows you to book a meeting room from within Outlook whilst you are creating an appointment. Unlike many systems you never need to leave the comfort of Outlook.
Why choose us
The Concept
So far we have told you a little about our business, but what does Room Panel actually do, and more importantly why should you choose to work with us?
Room Panel provide software that enables you to display meeting information outside of a meeting room on a device of your choice. We don’t do hotdesk software, visitor management or contractor Health & Safety systems. Room bookings is our main business and we’re pretty good at it!
It’s a simple concept. Room Panel allows you to have a screen outside your meeting room displaying if the room is occupied, by whom, and who is in next giving you the ability to ‘claim’ the room, or ‘release’ it. Not only does this help with meeting room efficiency, but it modernises your meeting room area.
Any Device
Room Panel works with any internet connected tablet device – use what kit you have, or buy new. It’s up to you. The device you use could be an Apple iPad, Android or even a Kindle. The choice is yours. Depending on your budget and the number of meeting rooms, you might want to use cost effective Android devices, or for the more design conscious – iPads.
Mounts
Depending on the device you choose it can be mounted outside a meeting room using one of a variety of mounts sold by Amazon. Why don’t we sell mounts? Because there are over 100 different devices you could buy and that’s a lot of mounts to stock!
