Members book desks, rooms and machines, and you approve what needs it.
Resource Booking holds each desk, room and machine with its open hours and rules. The rules set the longest booking, the notice and how far ahead. Other members' bookings show as Busy.
A room can confirm bookings at once or wait for an admin's approval. A report shows how much each one is used.
Each member's plan bills itself every month.
Invoicing repeats a member's plan as a recurring invoice, issued and emailed on its date. Members pay by card from the email, into your own Stripe account.
A plan sent as a proposal can charge the card the member saves when they accept. Magpie adds no fee to the payments.
The community's events are on one calendar, with RSVPs.
Calendar holds lunch and learns, member drinks and inductions. An event can take RSVPs up to the room's capacity.
Members you give the Calendar see the team's events. A public event has its own page for anyone you invite.
Members ask, offer and introduce themselves on a board.
Message Boards gives members a board of posts and replies, private to your space. People post, reply and vote.
A post's author, the board's creator and your admins can remove a post.
Projectors, tools and cameras go out with a due date.
Asset Tracker keeps each item with its tag, serial number, location and condition. You check an item out to a member's contact, with a due date. Overdue items have their own list.
An item can be bookable in Resource Booking. A booking is blocked while it is checked out.
The building opens and closes on checklists, and nothing is missed.
Daily Operations gives your staff the day's checks, such as the morning walkthrough. Each appears when it is due.
Problems become incidents, and a note can wait for the next shift. A workshop starter includes checks such as machine guards and emergency stops.
Four more areas cover membership plans, enquiries, your website and email.
- Proposals
- Proposals sends a new member their plan, to sign and start paying.
- Forms
- Forms takes enquiries and tour requests from your website.
- Websites
- Websites builds your site, with your plans and the tour form.
- Mail gives your domain mailboxes such as hello@.
