Your building has no room booking system? Set one up yourself

Nobody owns the problem

Nobody is in charge of the shared rooms. The landlord provides them and leaves it at that. So booking works however it works. You walk down the corridor and peek through the glass, you ask in a WhatsApp group, or you just take the room and hope. Every company in the building feels the friction, and every company assumes someone else will fix it.

You can fix it without asking anyone. Naboro is free for the whole building, and the companies around you don't need to install or buy anything. They get a link, sign in with a magic link or their existing Google or Microsoft account, and start booking.

Why this works

• It's free, so there's no budget discussion. Unlimited rooms, companies, and users. There's nothing to expense and nobody to convince.
• Your neighbors only need a login. There's no software to install and no IT involved. They sign in with a magic link or their Google or Microsoft account, and they're in.
• Each company manages itself. They invite their own people and see their own bookings. You set up the rooms, and that's where your job ends.
• Privacy is built in. Neighbors can see a room is taken and by whom, but not what your meeting is about.
• Your own company can add sync. With two-way calendar sync your bookings show up in your Outlook or Google Calendar. What the other companies do is up to them.

How to set it up

1. Create the building. Sign in, name it, and add the shared rooms with their floors and seat counts.
2. Add your own company first. Invite your colleagues so the calendar isn't empty when the neighbors arrive.
3. Invite the neighbors. One email per company. Their office manager becomes their admin and invites their own people.
4. Tell the landlord if you like. Most are happy that someone upgraded their building for free. You can also put a tablet display on each door.

What the neighbors see

A shared calendar of every room in the building. They can see who has what and when a slot frees up, and they can book with one click. The server rejects overlapping bookings, so two companies can't end up in the same room at 2pm. Meeting subjects stay private to each company. Others only see the organizer and the company name.
