Our very own Hector Kolonas put on his Syncaroo hat and shared a great short video discussing the various types of integrations that exist when it comes to the often-frustrating inability to connect different flex workspace technologies that really need to talk to each other.

Check his post out for more info about "native", "custom developed" and "managed" integrations.

I shared how Syncaroo‘s team are now rolling the managed essensys and OfficeRnD integration across all Workbox locations, and that other operators using either/both platforms can reach out to learn more about getting system connected and kept in-sync.

Syncaroo introduce the concept of "managed integrations" and why they’re increasingly popular within and around coworking businesses.

In short: these integrations aren’t built, or monitored, by either of the connected platforms or systems, but are instead actively managed by teams dedicated to keeping data moving, and businesses ticking.

Syncaroo created a guide to help workspace teams quickly get the bottom of issues when using Google Calendars for meeting room or other on-demand bookings.

If you’ve ever run into the issue of having rogue events pop into your calendar and blocking member access to resources, this s how to find out where they’re coming from, and how to fix the issue. If not, but you are using Google Calendar integrations anywhere, then it’s probably a good idea to save this guide somewhere – just in case something goes wrong and you need to quickly tackle the issue.

Syncaroo shares some insights and tips for coworking spaces who are exploring bringing in various AI tools into their businesses. In summary, it runs over the importance of integrations, live data, keeping in mind what systems can access which information, and thinking ahead to an AI-augmented tech stack.
