Managing meeting room inquiries can be a challenge for operators of coworking spaces, serviced offices, innovation hubs, and more.
When a potential client reaches out about booking a meeting room, that’s often the first impression they’ll have of your meeting rooms and your services—and we all know how important that first impression is. If you can capture their interest and make the process seamless, you’ve got a much better shot at turning that inquiry into a confirmed booking (and increasing your revenue).
But how do you streamline the process and ensure nothing slips through the cracks? That’s where the right tools come in.
Making the Inquiry and Sales Process Work for You
A slow or confusing inquiry process can easily result in lost opportunities. A potential client wants to know three things: if the space is available, how much it will cost, and how quickly they can book it. Anything beyond that, and you risk losing them to a competitor with a smoother, more intuitive process.
The good news is that there’s a way to tackle all of this with ease. Platforms like UltraSoftBIS can help you capture requirements, provide space and service availability, as well as automate booking, payment processing, and booking confirmation — without any help from your team.
Speed and Simplicity Are Key
When a lead reaches out, timing is everything. 90% of customers consider an "immediate" response essential or highly important when seeking customer service, with 60% defining "immediate" as within 10 minutes or less.
If you’re not responding quickly, you might be losing out. UltraSoftBIS can automate responses and send immediate confirmation emails, which helps you stay on top of new inquiries without lifting a finger. This way, you’re not scrambling to catch up with a flood of incoming requests, and potential clients get an instant response—exactly what they’re looking for.
Beyond just providing availability, UltraSoftBIS automates the entire sales process too, for a truly seamless experience.
The Power of Real-Time Booking
What about the client who wants to book a space on the spot? They don’t want to wait for a call back or email confirmation—they want to book it now. With a system like UltraSoftBIS, clients can view real-time availability, make a reservation, and pay — with just a few clicks. Real-time booking not only speeds up the process but also removes the back-and-forth that can lead to frustration. It’s all about giving your clients the ease and convenience they expect when booking meeting rooms.
UltraSoftBIS also allows you to manage everything from meeting rooms to offices and even coworking spaces all within one platform. This means that, no matter what the client needs, your team can easily accommodate them, giving them the best possible experience from the start.
When the booking is confirmed, UltraSoftBIS intellectually prepares the billables, produces the bills, and creates the information flow to the operator’s financial system. The operator doesn’t have to do any manual intervention.
Reporting and Insights to Drive Better Decisions
But managing leads isn’t just about capturing them—it’s about tracking them and understanding what works. UltraSoftBIS’s reporting tools allow you to get detailed insights into your inquiry and booking trends. You can see which spaces are most popular with occupancy reporting, which types of clients are booking, and what times of day are the busiest. This will allow operators to decide if they need to increase their meeting rooms and other services. Armed with this data, you can make better decisions about how to market your space, set pricing, or even offer promotions to drive more bookings.

Optimizing meeting room inquiries and progressing the leads to sales makes the entire process as smooth and seamless as possible for your clients, and UltraSoftBIS provides you with the tools you need to do just that.
