Optix 2018 feature round-up

As the year comes to a close, we decided to round up and highlight some of the amazing new features we built over the last twelve months. We’ve added features to enable managers of coworking spaces to raise the bar of the experience they are offering and features to help members better connect with their communities and get what they need to get done in a more seamless way.

Here’s a brief overview of the many exciting Optix updates unveiled in 2018:

Community feed

Community feed - 2018 feature roundup

One of the most used features we rolled out this year, the ‘community feed’, is akin to a digital bulletin board for your coworking space. It enables coworking managers to create more animated and connected communities. This ‘social media-esque news feed’ allows you and your members to post and share announcements with the community, comment and like posts, and more.

Learn more about the community feed and how to boost member engagement using this feature.

Web user sign-up

Last year, we rolled out a feature to expedite your member onboarding process by allowing users to sign up through the Optix white-label mobile app. This year, we launched a white-labeled web-based feature to take your website to the next level – enabling you to convert prospective members right from your website and funnel those newly acquired members into your Optix venue dashboard user list.

Custom properties
