A display outside every door
The approach was straightforward: install a 10-inch touch display directly outside each meeting room, showing live status information at all times. Each screen displays whether the room is free or occupied, the title of the current meeting, and the next booking in the queue.
What makes it practical is the flexibility of how rooms can be booked. Employees can reserve a room directly on the display or through Microsoft 365 and Outlook, whichever fits their workflow. The system syncs automatically, so there's no risk of the screen showing outdated information.
The solution didn't stop at meeting rooms. GGM Gastro extended the same logic to its showroom, where displays show in real time whether customer advisors are available or already in consultation with a client. For a company that prides itself on serving hospitality professionals, the parallel makes sense: the same clarity that keeps internal meetings running smoothly also shapes the experience for visiting customers. Staff can coordinate without interrupting ongoing consultations, and customers are directed to the right person without having to ask around. One system, two use cases, and two very different problems solved.
