Chargifi helps employees get back to work safely with new touchless meeting room experience
SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON, July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Chargifi for Rooms is the new touchless meeting room solution that provides 
employees with the confidence of a safe meeting room experience in a post-COVID 
workplace

Chargifi, the leading provider of cloud-connected wireless charging technology, 
has launched a first of its kind touchless meeting room solution that helps 
employees feel more confident about returning to work and using collaborative  
work spaces. "Chargifi for Rooms" combines a light status indicator with 
touchless wireless charging that automatically triggers in-room experiences. 
The solution integrates with leading meeting room booking and scheduling 
software, to instantly check-in and start in-room experiences such as video 
conferencing in one seamless action.

One example is the Chargifi for Rooms integration with Envoy, a workplace 
platform provider focused on creating tools that make the workplace safer, 
without sacrificing a great experience or product adoption. Employees returning 
to the workplace can find and book clean and safe rooms when the green 
light-ring signifies that they are clean and available for use. Once they are 
in the meeting room, the employee can simply place their smartphone on a 
wireless charging spot to check-in or reserve the space. This action 
simultaneously launches a pre-booked video conference for a quick and efficient 
start to a meeting. For space planners, valuable data on room usage and 
occupancy is captured, which helps free up unused spaces improving availability.

"Chargifi takes the meeting room booking experience to a new level by 
connecting touchless check-in and wireless charging. It helps us create safe, 
touchless experiences for our customers and their employees as they plan their 
return to the workplace. The integration also captures space usage and 
occupancy data for workplace teams without having to add another device in the 
infrastructure," said Matt Harris, Head of Workplace & Technology, Envoy, about 
the value of the joint solution for both employee and space planner.

The global pandemic has brought new challenges for space planners and has 
accelerated many trends that were already gaining traction, such as mobility, 
flexible working and how spaces can be used more seamlessly with less friction. 
Now, the emphasis is on reducing physical touch points and ensuring clear 
communication to employees about when spaces are clean and safe to use. 

"Meetings need to be safe, touchless and more productive than ever before. Less 
room capacity due to social distancing will increase demand, and reliable 
occupancy data from touchless automatic check-in is key to increase the 
availability of clean and safe rooms. Companies that deploy touchless 
technology show their staff that they have taken appropriate steps to provide 
great spaces that don't compromise safety," commented Dan Bladen, CEO, Chargifi.

Chargifi for Rooms is available today, and is a full end to end meeting room 
solution when integrated with your favourite room scheduling and video 
conferencing software. The Chargifi LightRing will be available in Q3 2020.
