- Challenge -

Conference rooms are very important resources for the company. We want them to be utilized to the maximum extend.
Some companies use Microsoft Exchange Calendar system to manage room resources. A room was scheduled, but when the time comes, there might be some unexpected occasions:

Room Was Occupied

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.

No-Show Meetings

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.

Unexpected Visitor

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.

- Solution -

SyncSign can seamlessly integrate SignSign Display with your existing  MS Exchange calendar system, and synchronizes the room schedule to be displayed on the conference room sign. When you create a meeting event in Outlook, the meeting information will automatically be displayed on the appropriate conference room sign.

- Idea -

Technology Improves Efficiency

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!

- Case Study -

John is the IT manager of their company. He wants to display the reservation status of his company’s three meeting rooms on a sign to ensure that the reservation information of the meeting room can be displayed, so as to improve the efficiency and utilization of the meeting room. The status quo is they paste a paper on the door to show the room schedule, which is not only inefficient, unproductive, but also not environmentally friendly.

So use it in conjunction with their  MS Exchange account. Their requirements are:
– Sync with existing calendar system: Work with their existing MS Exchange account, no additional booking software is required.
– Cable-free installation: Can be installed on the glass wall, and do not want to compromise the beauty of the office.
– No need of complex electricity layout: There is no power supply around the wall, thus the battery shall last long.
– User-friendly: No more new learning curve to employees. John does not want to train his colleague again on how to book a meeting room.

Let’s check what is needed for John.

- What is Needed -

digital signage with room schedule on the screen

7.5-Inch Display x 3

Their daily schedule of the meeting room is quite busy, thus John prefer to have as many events as possible displayed on the screen.

IoT Hub x 1

A single IoT Hub can manage up to 16 Displays. These 3 meeting rooms are no more than 40 meters from each other, thus one Hub can manage all these 3 Displays.

On-Premise Server
