How a shared-space system is built
Lobby and reception screen
The first touchpoint: greet guests with the hosting company's name and logo, direct them to the right floor, and show member branding and space information.
Room availability board
A central display showing every meeting room in the campus with real-time free/occupied status, plus a small panel at each room door.
Community and events board
Community events, workshops, happy hours, new members and operational notices — the content that makes a place feel like more than a desk.
Central multi-site management
An operator with several locations manages everything from one system, with shared network content and local content per site.
What shared workspaces display
These scenarios repeat across coworking operators:
Branded visitor welcome
Guest name and hosting company logo on the lobby screen on arrival.
Meeting-room board
Live availability against the calendar, including instant booking from the door panel.
Community board
Events, workshops, member-to-member collaborations and a company spotlight.
Member branding
Rotating logos and messages from resident companies, as added subscription value.
Operational notices
Maintenance works, parking, opening hours, policies and safety information.
Wayfinding
Floor maps and directions to rooms, quiet zones, kitchens and the podcast room.
Connecting to operational systems
In a shared space the screen must talk to booking and community systems. Verify these connection points:
What makes up the price
Cost depends on room count, campus size and how many locations the operator runs:
Hardware
Lobby screen, room-board display and small door panels, players and mounts.
Software licensing
Subscription per active screen, including room and community templates.
Integration
One-time connection to the booking system and calendars.
Design and branding
Templates adapted to the campus visual language and to member branding.
Support and monitoring
SLA, dark-screen alerting and hardware replacement.
In shared spaces screens affect membership value directly: fewer room clashes, higher meeting-room utilisation, better attendance at community events, and member branding that can be priced as an add-on service.
What to ask every vendor before signing
- 1Does it connect to our room booking system?

- 3Can member branding be rotated under controlled rules?
- 4How are multiple locations managed from one system with separate permissions?
- 5Do templates support Hebrew and English on the same screen?
- 6What happens when connectivity drops at a location?
- 7Is there monitoring that alerts on a dark screen?
- 8How long does it take to add a new location to the system?
