OpenApp for flexible workspaces and coworking

Operators of office rental and coworking sites manage dozens of doors across private offices, meeting rooms, and perimeter entries. OpenApp centralizes member access, day passes, guest invitations, and audit, and can connect affordable door hardware as well as systems that manage memberships, day passes, and room bookings.

OpenApp is ingress-only software, not a listed fire or escape-door system. Occupants must be able to exit without a phone or the cloud. Compliance

Flexible workspace is a high door-count operation: private offices, meeting rooms, and entrances for members, day passes, and occasional guests. Door permissions should match the membership, day pass, or room booking in force, work the same way across multiple sites, stay auditable for ops, and work with whatever hardware the customer chooses - including economical options when door counts are high.

Who this affects

Flexible workspace and coworking operators, and facility managers for multi-tenant office floors.

Hardware you do not need to replace

Choose the hardware that fits the site - for example multi-channel relay boards such as Waveshare when door counts are high. OpenApp does not lock you to a vendor or price tier.

Product capabilities

Members and day-pass access

Align physical entry with what operators sell: ongoing memberships, day passes, and room bookings. Time windows and roles match those offerings.

No need to replace working hardware you already trust

Use the hardware you choose - for example multi-channel relay boards such as Waveshare when door counts are high. Policy and membership live in software, independent of a specific vendor.

Affordable and DIY-friendly hardware

High door counts (private offices, meeting rooms) can stay affordable with multi-channel boards such as Waveshare - if that is your choice. Mix hardware types as the site needs.

Open doors and gates from the phone

OpenApp is one app for private offices, meeting rooms, and entrances - instead of a separate app for every device on site. Only the doors included in the membership or day pass open.

Policies, roles, and schedules

Map doors to membership, day-pass, and room-booking rules with clear time windows, instead of permanent keys for every private office.

Time-bound access invitations

Members and staff grant temporary access to guests for a limited window - tours, client meetings, or booked rooms - without granting permanent permissions.

Connect existing business systems

Connect space-management, membership, or booking software so workstation and meeting-room bookings update door access. That management system stays in place; OpenApp opens and restricts doors according to those bookings and memberships.

Operate multi-site and multi-building organizations

Run multiple locations under one organization with site managers. Central ops keep consistency and uniform policy across sites, while each site keeps its own permissions and managers.

Monitoring and audit

See access activity as operations unfold, and keep a durable history for ops review, owner reporting, and investigations. Export and webhooks send that history to external systems when you need reporting, audits, or tools outside OpenApp.

Delegation without losing control

Floor or site managers handle member and guest access inside organization-wide rules. Central ops keep organization-wide policy and the audit log.

Staff and contractor operations

Site staff and service vendors get work roles for the doors they maintain, with schedules and audit logs - separate from memberships and day passes sold to customers.

FAQ

Why emphasize inexpensive hardware?
Flex sites often have a high door count. Multi-channel relay boards (for example Waveshare) and open protocols keep project cost predictable while software owns policies, memberships, and invitations.
