Hi Mark, We have a very simple automated wifi checkin system through Deskworks. We provide the one piece of hardware, a firewall/router, that's pretty inexpensive. Then the cloud-based radius server sees and knows your members through the MAC address of their connected devices. The automatic

Eric - do you have an automated system for having your members check in on Nexudus, or do you do it manually? On Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 10:51:07 PM UTC-4, Eric Datanagan wrote: > > Nexudus > > On Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at 10:13:11 AM UTC-8, Mark Gordon wrote: >> >> Our property

With all things it's about balance and striking the right balance between a number of different factors. At Office Nomads we do have members sign in, using an iPad at the front that's hooked in to Nadine, our management system. We tie this with membership packages that don't do hourly, only

We never use a check-in system because members don't like it. I find it to a barrier that reminds them that this is more of a tracation and ruins the flow of them just coming in, working, and thinking of it as their own space. I know there is a temptation to collect data as much as possible but

Angel, I love how you write that. We have "honor system"/community guidelines if anyone asks how it's counted, and if anyone makes a face, I say, "you can tally it and if you want it to be tallied for you, we can make a Google Spreadsheet for you to add a 1 each time, or stick a Post-It note

I stopped doing checkin b/c I couldn't even any more. No one reliably used any system and unless it's automatic like a retinal scan they don't know is happening, I couldn't find a free solution we liked. So we just stopped and it doesn't even matter. When I did track users, they never followed

That's interesting feedback, thanks a lot! We work with a lot of spaces who have no issues at all, so maybe that's why we never really get that on the radar. We'll think of easier ways for landlords to "coworking enable" their building door in a way that is less intrusive. cheers On

Hi @Bernard, We are in a nearly 2,000,000sf complex, and the base building managers defintiely need to be involved for approval when asking to tap into base building security, if not for emergency purposes (fire) but also security wise on their side. (Making sure no one can gain access to their

Mark, there is a few alternatives listed here http://www.nexudus.com/en/blog/read/292950659/the-art-of-checking-members-in-and-out. Specially network (WiFi/wired) check-in may be a good compromise. It obviously doesn't offer any of the security, but it is pretty easy to install. unobtrusive

For what it's worth, I've generally been extremely successful in asking our landlords for all KINDS things, but getting them to be okay with anything tied into building security has been a non-starter. I was pretty keen keen to give KISI a go, and our building's security staff is remarkably

We use Nexudus coworking management software and have built a homebrew tap in/out system using a couple of cheap 10" wall mounted monitors, stick PCs and proximity touch pads that reads our access passes, connected to Nexudus via their check in software. It works, just. We have a ton of
