Initial situation & goal

Co-working in rural areas

CoWorkLand is a community for co-working spaces in rural areas. It supports and advises its members in setting up their own spaces. The members' spaces can then be marketed via their own platform.


Our solution

Booking platform for coworking spaces

Building on the website, which we also developed, we worked with CoworkLand to conceive, design and implement a customized booking platform. We are also responsible for the ongoing operation and technical support of the platform. Operators of coworking spaces can offer and manage their spaces via the platform. Users can book various tickets and pay directly via the platform using modern payment methods. There is also a cooperation with the state of Schleswig-Holstein to allow employees of the state to book into coworking spaces.
