The Opportunity

Problem

Hospitality tech users face fragmented booking systems that prevent remote workers from seamlessly reserving desks in hotel co-working spaces.

Solution

DeskSyncHub integrates with existing PMS and calendar systems to provide a single dashboard where hotel operators can manage desk availability and bookings across all properties. Remote workers book via a shared link, with real-time updates preventing double-bookings. Admins get analytics on occupancy to optimize space usage.

Target Audience

Hospitality tech administrators and hotel operators managing co-working space bookings for remote workers

Differentiator

Deep PMS integrations (Opera, Mews) with zero-code setup, tailored for multi-property operators unlike generic calendars.
