Culture Co-Working provides flexible, 24/7 access to its coworking spaces, and part of that flexibility includes reliable printing. They needed a system that could handle multiple users, locations, and devices without IT headaches. ezeep provides smooth, driver-free printing that integrates with their existing workspace management platform, ensuring members can print instantly from any device at either location.
Culture Co-Working has two coworking spaces in Cork City with 100 members, operating since 2018. Their spaces span 10,000 sq. ft, one of which is spread over three floors. They offer a mixture of open plan areas, private offices, and meeting rooms.
“Our main attraction is our flexibility; all members have 24-hour access and can use either space,” says Andrew Whitaker, founder of Culture Co-Working. “We aim to offer a warm, friendly, and professional environment and do whatever we can to help.”
Culture Co-Working uses Spacebring (andcards) as its workspace management platform.
Why traditional printing was a challenge for coworking spaces
Managing printing for numerous members and non-members in a coworking space often involves complex user setups, driver installations, and device compatibility issues. For Culture Co-Working, these traditional hurdles made it difficult to provide efficient and consistent printing services across their growing operations.
“It was an issue to find a system that could remove these challenges, especially when we opened the second location. We needed something quick and easy to use,” explains Andrew Whitaker. Printing needed to be fast, error-free, reliable, and work immediately. As Andrew Whitaker puts it, the ideal printing experience is one where “someone comes in, connects, and can print immediately. It should also be easy to understand how to print and use the system.”
