Conference rooms are very important resources for the company. We want them to be utilized to the maximum extend.
Some companies use Calendar system (Office 365, G-Suite, or MS Exchange) to manage room resources. A room was booked, but when the time comes, there might be some unexpected occasions:
When people get to the reserved room, finding out there are other people in there. Confused, nobody knows who had it booked. Everyone thinks that they had it booked. Ending wasting time and productivity. No one benefits from this kind of confusion.
When the time comes, those people who had the room booked find out that they didn't really need it. They don't really go at all. This means the meeting sits completely empty. Even though other people may need to use it, they don't know if it is available or if there is a way to confirm it.
A guest comes to visit without beforehand noticing, a small meeting room was empty, but there is no way to check on the spot if there will be a meeting soon. Embarrassment might come if a bunch of people walks into the room when you are in the middle of a conversation with the guest.
SyncSign can easily integrate SignSign Display with your existing calendar system (Microsoft Office 365, Google Calendar/G-Suite, or MS Exchange), and sync the room schedule to be displayed on the conference room sign. When you book a room on your booking system (e.g. Outlook), the meeting information will automatically be displayed on the conference room signage.
Intigration can be done in 3 Minutes. Below are the calendar system that SignSign can seamlessly connect with

The most important resource for an enterprise is the people who work there.
The essence of technology is to save people’s time from daily chores, thus can put themselves on creative work.
Let’s check how SyncSign realizes this idea!
John, the IT manager at his company, aims to enhance the efficiency and usage of their 3 meeting rooms by displaying reservation statuses on a digital sign. Currently, they rely on paper schedules pasted on the meeting room doors, which is inefficient, unproductive, and environmentally unfriendly.
To address this, John plans to integrate the system with their Office 365 account. Here are their preferences:
Integration with existing calendar system: Sync seamlessly with their Office 365 account without the need for additional booking software.
Cable-free installation: The solution should be mountable on glass walls without detracting from the office’s aesthetics.
Battery powered: As there’s no nearby power source, the device should operate on a long-lasting battery.
User-friendly: The system should be intuitive for employees, eliminating the need for extensive training on booking meeting rooms.
Let’s explore the necessary steps to fulfill John’s requirements.
Their daily schedule of the meeting room is quite busy, so John prefer to have as many events as possible displayed on the screen.
A single IoT Hub can manage up to 16 Displays. These 3 meeting rooms are no more than 130 ft (40 meters) from each other, so one Hub can manage all these 3 Displays.
