Major Upgrade of a Co-working Space Management Mobile App

1. Product Features:

• Includes an iPad App for guests' check-in and check-out, a mobile app for guests and a CMS platform for management.

• Guests can book and manage bookings of the team they supervise or belong to.

• Managers of the co-working spaces can easily manage bookings and facilities

• Co-working space owners can access clear reports of cash flow and the number of bookings.

2. Business Challenges:

• The development team must figure out how to meet the diverse needs of decentralized management structures of different stakeholders using the app.

Solutions: We spent time researching and learning more about what people usually expect from this type of business system.

3. Technical Challenges:

• The system and the infrastructure must be up and running 24/7.

Solutions: We used Microsoft services to help the system operate stably 24/7.

• When dealing with a large amount of interaction from users, the system must ensure uniformity and good data processing performance to provide a good user experience. The system includes a lot of historic data and statistical graphs, posing a problem for the development team to find a way to prevent the system from bad performance.

Solutions: The development team must design the system with diagrams to ensure data and source code are developed in the most versatile way. We also applied pre-calculating, caching, distributed data computing and sub-table methods to handle big data.
