A co-working space that opens, books and powers down by itself.
Member access tied to plan hours, meeting rooms that lock when the booking ends, and lights that follow occupancy.
For co-working operators, flex office providers, shared workspace managers.
Co-working is still only about 1% of Malaysia’s office market against roughly 3% across Asia, so there’s room to grow. But operators can’t scale on front-desk headcount, and air-conditioning is half of an office’s energy bill whether a room is booked or not.

What it costs you today
Access
- Staff must be present to open — 24/7 operation demands proportional headcount
- Ex-members retain fob access until physically chased for return
- Meeting rooms accessible to anyone regardless of booking status
Experience
- Off-peak plan members cannot enter outside front desk hours
- No room expiry alert — members overstay bookings unchallenged
- Locker assignment is manual — queuing and lost keys are daily friction
Operations
- No real-time room occupancy data — utilisation reporting is absent
- No consolidated dashboard across multiple branches
- Restricted zones (server room, private suites) rely on honour system
Energy
- Meeting rooms lit and cooled between bookings for hours
- Hot-desk zones have no occupancy-based auto-off mechanism
- Private offices run aircon even when unoccupied for days
Security
- No audit trail of which member accessed which room when
- Visitors enter from corridors without any credential check
- No zone control for restricted areas — all staff hold same key
What we install
A member’s PIN works exactly during their plan hours — nothing more, nothing less. Their meeting room activates at booking start and locks at end. Lights and aircon cut within minutes of them leaving. The operator reviews three branches from one dashboard over morning coffee. The business runs itself.
From first call to handover
Common questions
Can the space run without front desk staff?
Yes — members self-authenticate via PIN or app. No staff needed. Extend hours or offer 24/7 plans without extra headcount.
How does meeting room access work with bookings?
Locks activate only during confirmed booking windows. Auto-lock at end time — no staff policing needed.
How is cancelled member access handled?
Cancellation flags the credential as inactive immediately. PIN, card, and app access denied at all points — no physical collection needed.
Can lights auto-off in empty meeting rooms?
Yes — occupancy sensors trigger auto-shutoff after a configurable idle period. Prevents hours of wasted cooling after short bookings.
