Pros

  • Straightforward interface and customizability for daily tasks and multi-location management
  • Robust desk and room booking system
  • Effective invoicing and billing module for coworking environments

Cons

  • Limited customization and flexibility, particularly for policy creation
  • Mobile application issues, including frequent logouts and lack of shortcuts
  • Time-consuming initial setup and onboarding process

Positive experience

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We introduced Archie to have a better process for our team to find available desks, know when others will be at the office, and manage meeting room reservations in a more organized way.

Pros

  • Their customer service team is always helpful and fast in replying via chat or email.
  • The platform is exceptionally easy to use and customize to our needs.
  • It integrates with Microsoft Teams and Outlook

Cons

  • There are occasional bugs or usability issues, mainly on new features
  • You cannot create specific hybrid policies (eg: minimum office days required per week) within the platform

Return on Investment

  • Easy to spot if the office space is used efficiently (not underused, but no day exceeding capacity either)

Usability

An easy way to welcome and track guests

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Archie handles our visitor registration from start to finish, including sign-ins, badge printing, and notifications. It helps us know exactly who is in the building and when, and ensures visitors are approved ahead of time.

Pros

  • Pre-registration flows are easy to set up
  • Hosts get notified instantly when their visitor arrives
  • Visitor badges look professional and print fast

Cons

  • I’d like more flexibility in customizing the check-in flow based on the answers given
  • Delivery management could be more automated

Return on Investment

  • It’s improved the way we greet clients and partners and gives us a solid visitor log for audits.

Usability

Satisfied Archie user

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We now manage all desks and meeting spaces with Archie, where we previously used O365. The fact that it's integrated into Teams and Outlook made the switch very easy, and I find it a very good solution.

Pros

  • Integrations with Teams and Outlook
  • Office floor maps
  • Colleague search function

Cons

  • Add favorite rooms and resources
  • Add shortcuts to the mobile app
  • More onboarding material

Return on Investment

  • For sure a time saver when it comes to booking meeting spaces or looking up the schedule of my coworkers.

Usability

Archie for coworking

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Archie for renting out specifc areas of our office building as well as tracking who comes to the office. The system is easy to use and with tons of features, there are some aspects that can be improved but we had a good experience with it.

Pros

  • The flexibility to add different resource types
  • Easy to use mobile app
  • Simple visitor registration processes
  • Overall easy to use once you are up and running with the system

Cons

  • Setting up the system can took us almost 3 weeks, they team is helpful but there is a lot that was on our side
  • It's difficult to modify reservations once they took place
  • Managing invoices is another area that could be improved

Return on Investment

  • Early to say what the ROI is, but given how we have simplified a lot of processes already I think the outcome will be defintiely postitive.

Usability

My favorite coworking software so far

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I manage all the operational tasks for our coworking space. Archie helps us track client reservations, manage billing, and keep everything organized. We’ve got 2 different locations, both set in Archie, it is very easy to switch from one to the other one to review the information desired.

Pros

  • Desk and room booking
  • Billing module is great
  • Easy to manage multiple locations

Cons

  • The initial setup takes some time
  • The user interface is great but not very customizable beyond the branding

Return on Investment

  • It saves us time with calculating the payments for each client
  • We are working with the Ezeep integration which can quickly give us the amount of pages printed and calculates the amount to pay automatically
