ZenSpace is the industry pioneer in fully automated, technology-enabled meeting spaces for on-the-go business people. We are the first company to combine a technology platform, mobile app and convenient meeting pods to create a “smart pod” - a highly flexible, on-demand system and IoT-enabled space for conducting business and/or private meetings. As such, we are expanding and evolving the fast-growing SPaaS (SPace as a Service) market. We address one of the key pain points cited by people who are away from their office – a convenient, private, quality location to conduct business. We provide traveling employees, event/conference attendees, entrepreneurs, freelancers and participants in the gig economy with private, technology-enabled meeting spaces they can reserve for use, and automatically pay for, in 1-hour time increments. The ZenSpace SmartPod combines a small meeting “pod” with a micro-leasing mobile/web app that enables on-demand scheduling. ZenSpace SmartPods are ideal for any venue or public space where there is a high concentration of business people and a lack of available private meeting space. Each SmartPod contains a full array of technology to facilitate work and business meetings, including: - WiFi Internet connectivity - Power and USB ports - Display monitor - Lighting and air circulation controls - Smart Lock enabled access (for enhanced security) - Phone/video conference tech-enabled Our on-demand meeting spaces provide a private, quiet, tech-enabled oasis of calm in which to conduct your business. We believe in today’s hectic world we could all use a little zen. ZenSpace. On-demand Meeting Space. Anytime. Anyplace.
