X-Twenty takes exclusive UK rights to room, desk and visitor management platform MeetWise

One platform for the spaces people book and the visitors they invite. It runs in the cloud or entirely on a customer’s own servers, and licensing is based on spaces rather than users.

X-Twenty has secured the exclusive rights to bring MeetWiseto the United Kingdom. The platform is available immediately, direct and through X-Twenty’s channel of AV partners and consultants. For UK businesses it brings meeting rooms, desks, reception and workplace analytics onto one platform, rather than the three or four separate systems most estates run today.

Outside every meeting room, the MeetWise BEAM panel displays the room schedule in real time, and wrap-around LED illumination signals availability from the far end of the corridor. On the desk, a beacon called the O.R.B. (Occupancy & Reservation Beacon) shows whether a desk is available, taken or waiting to be cleaned. At reception, a self-service kiosk expects the visitor, tells the host the moment they arrive and prints the badge. One portal runs all of it.

Reception is the part most systems leave out. Booking a room is well served in this market. Knowing who is in the building and who authorised them is usually a separate product, a separate contract, or a paper book on a desk.

“Most buildings can tell you what was booked. Far fewer can tell you what happened in the room, or who came through the front door that morning. That is the gap we kept running into with customers, and answering all three from one system, with the option to keep the data inside the building, is what persuaded us.” Rob Brinklow, General Manager, X-Twenty

MeetWise works with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Exchange, and can run its own booking engine for sites with no corporate calendar. Bookings carry on at the panel if the network drops and reconcile when the line comes back.

The portal behind it reports on how the estate is used. Utilisation by room, by floor and by building, meetings that end early, rooms booked and never occupied, and the desks nobody claims. For a business being asked to justify the space it pays for, that is the evidence, and nobody needs to walk the building to collect it.

The same platform reaches into the meeting itself. Synapse is the AI layer, recording a meeting and returning a transcript, a summary and a mind map. It runs on the same platform and the same contract as the rooms, desks and reception, available as an add-on and charged by the minute.

MeetWise has delivered more than 150 projects for 55 customers worldwide and has grown 90 per cent over the past three years.

“The UK workplace technology market is sophisticated, and selecting the right partner was essential,” said Joe Rabah, Chief Executive Officer of MeetWise. “X-Twenty brings exceptional expertise, deep channel relationships and end-to-end technical delivery, from site survey through deployment and lifecycle support. Their model ensures partners and enterprise clients receive a fully supported solution.”

X-Twenty surveys the estate, designs the deployment, installs it, trains the people who will use it and supports it afterwards. Rooms, desks and reception, on one contract, with one number to call.
