Overview
Cowork Oasis is a vibrant coworking space in El Paso, Texas, serving tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. As the organization expanded its services, it needed a more efficient way to manage bookings, events, facility access, and other member-facing activities through a single digital platform.
The solution was a dedicated mobile application that brings these services together in one place. Members can book conference rooms, view the community event calendar, access the coworking space through integrated door management, and find the location with map and direction features.
Three Technical Challenges
Developing a unified mobile platform for coworking operations required complex system integrations, cross-platform consistency, and a simple experience for members.
-
Notifications that help rather than nag
Developing a unified mobile platform for coworking operations required complex integrations, cross-platform consistency, and an intuitive member experience.
-
Sobriety maths that survives a time zone
Integration with the Kisi door management system and Stripe payment processing required careful coordination between access controls and financial workflows.
-
Private data on a shared phone
Supporting both Android and iOS introduced the challenge of maintaining consistent performance and usability across different devices.
-
A simple, intuitive interface was essential to help members transition from traditional booking and facility-access methods.
Technical Execution
Based on Cowork Oasis’s operational requirements, AppZoro developed an all-in-one mobile platform that brings room bookings, community events, facility access, and location services into a single experience. The goal was to reduce manual coordination while making everyday workspace activities easier for members.
-
Members can book conference rooms, view the community calendar, find the coworking space on an integrated map, and access directions directly through the application. The platform also connects with the Kisi door management system and Stripe payment processing to support facility access and transactions.
-
The interface was designed around straightforward navigation, helping users move from bookings to events and other services without unnecessary steps. Cross-platform development also ensured a consistent experience across Android and iOS devices.
-
The resulting application gave Cowork Oasis a centralized digital solution for managing member-facing services while improving how users interact with the coworking space.

- 2X Operational Efficiency
An incentivized gaming platform has to keep monetization from getting in the way of the user experience. Excessive advertising can drive users away, while inaccurate reward tracking can quickly undermine trust. AppZoro built a stable PHP backend with lightweight Android mini-games, creating a responsive environment where users can play, view ads, and earn rewards without unnecessary friction.
Client Testimonial
The team asked better questions than we did. We arrived with a feature list and left the first workshop with a shorter one that actually described the program. Twelve weeks later our clients had something they open every morning.
