Centralise Meeting Rooms

Centralise Meeting Rooms is an app that turns an iPad into a meeting room display. It reads a room's calendar and shows it on screen, so people can see whether the room is free and book it on the spot. Processing happens on the device, so calendar data goes from calendar to screen only.

What Centralise Meeting Rooms offers

• Room display — shows availability and upcoming meetings outside a room.
• Ad-hoc booking — lets people book a meeting with requirements set by the organisation.
• Contactless booking — people scan a QR code with a phone to book, confirm and manage meetings; this can be switched off.
• Automatic release — cancels events when nobody arrives after a set time.
• Customisation — colours, backgrounds, features and layout can be changed.
