SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON, July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

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.
