Spacebring Is a Fast and Reliable Alternative to OfficeRnD

OfficeRnD was originally designed for coworking spaces but, a few years ago, has pivoted towards offering free desk booking for single office environments. This transition has resulted in a cumbersome software platform that includes a burden of features that are irrelevant to your coworking space's needs. 

Spacebring is a comprehensive software suite designed exclusively for shared and coworking spaces. It focuses on speeding up coworking space management by making daily tasks effortless without compromising on features and stability.

Why Spacebring is a better choice:

1. Apps for all your customers: Both members and nonmembers can manage things on the go.
2. Super easy to use: Your members won't need any help figuring it out.
3. Reliable and secure: No more glitches or confusing features.
4. Designed just for coworking: Everything you need, nothing you don't.
5. Strong community features: dynamic feed incorporating social media functionality but designed exclusively for your community.
6. Works seamlessly with your favorite tools: No additional fees.

 

Spacebring Enables a Complete Mobile Experience for Customers

OfficeRnD's mobile apps are restricted to members only and require a login, limiting opportunities for other customers.

In addition to members, Spacebring's mobile apps are for nonmembers as well. Customers can explore your products and services, sign up, book, shop, join events, chat, and enjoy a more flexible and convenient experience. 

Engagement levels have soared since adopting Spacebring. Members find the app easy to use and are delighted with mobile apps and events functionality.

OfficeRnD’s mobile app is limited to members only and requires a login. In contrast, Spacebring’ mobile apps allow to explore your products and services, join events, chat, and become a member on the go.

 

Spacebring Is Easier to Use

OfficeRnD's architecture and navigation are quite complex, and it offers a wide range of features that are irrelevant to coworking spaces. This leads to confusion among its users, who find it difficult to navigate and utilize the platform effectively.

“The software is clunky and difficult to navigate. There was never a moment I didn't have an issue with the program. To cancel a paid booking you must go through a 5-step process to remove it from the calendar. First, you must go into the invoice and detach the lines from the invoice, then you can go into the calendar and cancel the booking, then you must go into your payment portal to refund the money, then you need to come back to Office RnD and issue a refund on the invoice.”

— OfficeRnD review on Capterra

In contrast, Spacebring is intuitive and effortless. You can fully set up the system in just two days. Also, on Spacebring, over 95% of members book rooms independently without requiring any assistance from administrators. All these, speak to the platform's exceptional ease of use.

Spacebring has received a lot of positive feedback from our members. They seem to like it and find it helpful, which is great. In comparison, there have been other bits of software that we've tried in the past and sent out to our members to use for bookings, but nobody ever used them. People still came to the front desk for help instead.

Spacebring Is More Reliable

OfficeRnD's complex system is difficult to maintain, resulting in frequent glitches that lead to a poor member experience. This leaves administrators frustrated as they spend more time troubleshooting the app and its integrations instead of focusing on their daily tasks.

“Even the mobile app encounters errors when customers attempt to make purchases or reservations. When integrating with the KISI door lock system, the OfficeRnD system has been known to grant access to canceled bookings and most recently they granted access to everyone who had an "expired or used" day pass and the only way to stop these customers from receiving access was to go through and delete the day passes. The Iron WiFi integration does not work properly and did not allow members in Office RnD to log into the Wi-Fi. The QuickBooks integration has problems with syncing the transactions and sales tax”

— OfficeRnD review on Capterra

Adding to these challenges, some users have reported that OfficeRnD's development team seems to be in "maintenance mode," focusing on fixing existing issues rather than actively developing new features and improvements. This can be a significant concern for coworking spaces that rely on their software to adapt and grow with their business.

Spacebring offers nearly 100% uptime and world-class security. The platform and integrations are actively developed and maintained. We release new features and integrations weekly, ensuring that our platform stays ahead of the curve and provides you with the tools you need to succeed. You can view our latest releases and updates on our release notes page.

Spacebring is probaby the best I've ever encountered from a technology vendor—they are engaged, have a great onboarding process, and manage the backend of the technology so well.

Spacebring Is Designed Exclusively for Shared and Coworking Spaces

OfficeRnD is shifting towards traditional office spaces and, consequently, adding features that are not relevant to your usage. This not only creates a more complex user experience but also attempts to combine incompatible elements, as traditional offices are geared towards space utilization rather than monetization. For example, traditional offices do not sell memberships, credit packages, or event tickets, and usually use Slack or Teams for communication.

In contrast, Spacebring has been specifically created to cater to the needs of coworking spaces. This means that every Spacebring feature is potentially useful to you. For example, you can get your invoices paid in under 8 seconds with auto-invoice and auto-pay, sell event tickets, and credits, and use Spacebring’s chats and community feed for community development.

We decided to use Spacebring because we were looking for a platform that is specialized in a particular area. Spacebring takes a holistic approach to managing flex spaces, has no redundant tools as opposed to other systems we considered.

Migrating from OfficeRnd to Spacebring was a breath of fresh air. We faced challenges with OfficeRnd during our onboarding, but the transition to Spacebring was seamless. The support team guided us every step of the way! Now managing member bookings, plan sign-ups, and subscriptions has become much better. Overall, Spacebring is the easiest platform we've tested, with it our space operations have improved, allowing us to deliver a better experience for our members.

Besides, unlike OfficeRnD's restricted multi-location role limited to administrators, Spacebring offers a transformative networking experience for every member. If you are seeking to amplify member networking, with Spacebring you can make all network locations effortlessly accessible to every member, enabling seamless communication, event participation, and workspace reservations.

 

Seamless Management of Leases and Memberships with Spacebring

Spacebring effortlessly handles both traditional long-term leases and flexible coworking memberships within a single, unified system. This eliminates the confusion and limitations experienced with OfficeRnD, which struggles to accommodate both models effectively.

With Spacebring, you can:

• Manage all agreements and billing in one place: Streamline your administrative tasks and gain a clear overview of your revenue streams.
• Define clear and consistent terminology: Avoid confusion by using accurate terminology for both leases and memberships, especially important when dealing with legal documents and external communication.
• Offer flexible booking options: Cater to diverse needs with options like half-day bookings, ensuring optimal space utilization and member satisfaction.
• Visualize and manage office space: Utilize interactive floor plans to showcase available offices, track occupancy, and make data-driven decisions to optimize your space usage.
• Offer hybrid work solutions: Attract a wider range of clients with flexible office solutions, such as team offices and day offices, maximizing space utilization and tenant satisfaction.

Unlike OfficeRnD, which users have reported to have unusable contract management features, Spacebring provides a comprehensive solution for managing all aspects of your workspace, from leases and memberships to office space visualization and hybrid work models. This integrated approach simplifies operations, enhances efficiency, and enables you to deliver a superior experience for all your clients.

Thanks to Spacebring’ efficient platform and simple occupancy tracking, we have increased our occupancy by 52% in a month.

• Share posts with others
• Use hashtags to categorize discussions
• Receive push notifications for new activity

This dynamic feed helps create a stronger sense of community and keeps members informed and connected.

Spacebring Feed is a powerful tool to engage and keep our community up to date. At Casa W we encourage members to use this channel for everyday conversations. It is also a platform to offer services and products within our locations.

Smart Meeting Room Display with Spacebring

Spacebring's Smart Meeting Room Display provides a modern and efficient way to manage your meeting rooms. Unlike OfficeRnD's limited non-informative displays, Spacebring offers:

The room displays encourage members to make bookings and our members love it because they can quickly view which rooms are available.

Kate Moras

Co-Founder at Hustle

• Real-time availability updates: Members can instantly see which rooms are free.
• On-the-spot booking: Members can book rooms directly from the display using a QR code.
• Abandoned booking protection: Automatically releases unused rooms to maximize availability.
• Informative displays: Show upcoming bookings, meeting progress, and other relevant details.

These features streamline the booking process, reduce confusion, and enhance the overall member experience.

 

Open API and Flexible Integrations with Spacebring

Spacebring provides a robust open API and a wide range of integrations, allowing you to connect your workspace with the tools you rely on. This contrasts with OfficeRnD's limited API and integration options, which can restrict your flexibility and force you to rely on costly workarounds. With Spacebring's open API, you can:

• Integrate with access control systems, payment gateways, CRM software, and more.
• Create custom workflows and automate tasks to optimize your operations.
• Build a cohesive technology ecosystem that supports your specific needs.

 

Integrations: Your Wallet Will Thank You

Spacebring believes connecting your workspace to the tools you already use should be easy and cost-effective. That's why our integrations are always free. 

While OfficeRnD offers some integrations, they come at an extra cost. Even with potential discounts, those additional fees add up for admins, making your overall costs higher in the long run.
