Having the right coworking management software can help you manage your space and members, while setting your business apart from the competition.
When looking for coworking management software, it is important to keep in mind your members’ needs as well as yours. This software will affect the work lives of everyone in the community, so get input from members to make sure the software you choose will fit everyone. Specifically, you want your management software to focus on accessibility, productivity, customization, and community.
Ensuring a smooth transition is also vital when implementing the software. The management software provider should have the entire system up and running before you open your business, allowing you to focus on marketing and signing up members rather than figuring out how to use it.
Learning whether you can integrate other tools with your new coworking management software can also push your business ahead of the curb. Coworking apps, such as booking calendars, social media, and payment gateways connected to the management software would help automate your business.
Finding the right software provider who values you as a customer is vital for healthy implementation. Instead of seeing you as a one-off sale, the vendor should see you as a long-term customer and provide a good support staff.
Once you have a few options to choose from, you want to demo each software. Spend about one day a week experimenting with each software package and involve team members and business partners to get a better idea of what will work best for your coworking space.
