A co-working space near City Centre fills up as more people decide the drive downtown is not worth it. A member needs a meeting room at short notice, a drop-in wants a desk for the day, and everyone on a plan should be billed on the first of the month without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Most spaces run this across an access system, a booking tool and an accounting package that never quite agree. We set Surrey spaces up with one system that handles bookings and membership billing together.
Techalyst builds and sets up booking and billing software for co-working and shared workspaces across Surrey and the Lower Mainland.
Shared workspace in Surrey
Surrey's business base is booming, and with it a wave of shared workspaces around City Centre, near the SFU Surrey campus, and along the growing office corridors. They serve the founders, freelancers and small teams who would rather skip the Vancouver commute and the downtown lease. Those members are practical and price-aware, and they choose the space that is easy to join and effortless to use, book a room in two taps, pay for a day without hunting for staff, and never think about the monthly invoice.
Bookings and memberships in one place
- Members and guests book rooms, hot desks and phone booths by the hour on your own page.
- Hourly pricing with peak rates applies automatically, and guests pay for a day pass on the spot.
- Memberships invoice monthly on their own, with room and desk bookings on top where you charge for them.
- Members book instantly; guests book without an account, verified so it is not abused.
- Buffers and booking windows stop rooms being double-booked or held forever.
Several resources, rooms, desks, booths, each with its own hours and rates, from one place.
Grow it as the space fills
Because we build the software, booking is only the base. We extend it into everything a workspace needs, under your own brand:
- A website with your space, plans and booking built in.
- A member portal for plans, bookings and invoices.
- A store for add-ons, day passes, credits and event space.
- A branded mobile app, so members book a room from their phone and you run the floor from yours.
Start with room booking and membership billing and add the rest as you grow.
Own it, don't rent it
Co-working platforms charge monthly, often per member, and keep your member list and billing. The setup we build keeps your members, their history and your revenue yours, with no per-member fees climbing as you fill the space.
