Operators are seeing growing demand for meeting rooms and private call space—but squatting, no-shows, and friction-filled booking systems continue to cost time and revenue. James Shannon and Kurt Patrick from Essensys join the podcast to share how they're tackling those pain points with Elumo, a new product that simplifies access, booking, and billing in one smart, user-friendly system.

In this conversation, we cover:

• The real cost of squatting and how much revenue is lost from underutilized shared space.

• Why Essensys built Elumo and how it's solving both revenue leakage and poor user experience.

• How Elumo uses Apple and Google Wallet integration to streamline access and eliminate the friction of traditional booking systems.

• The role of dynamic pricing and data-driven utilization in maximizing revenue from shared spaces.

• How Elumo works with (not against) your existing tech stack, including OfficeRnD and other booking platforms.

If you've ever wondered how to monetize your meeting rooms without creating more headaches for your community managers, this episode is for you.
