SMS-powered power coordination—no apps, no crashes.
Remote teams in co-working spaces lose coordination on power usage because energy management apps frequently crash on mobile devices.
ZapCoord lets remote teams coordinate power usage via simple SMS commands, bypassing unreliable mobile apps entirely. Reply to texts to book outlets, get reminders, and resolve conflicts instantly. Perfect for quick, on-the-go coordination in co-working spaces.
