Online marketplace Booqed has launched its meeting room and workspace search, booking and transaction phone app of the same name on the Apple App Store. Providing a faster way for anyone to leverage an available meeting or working area in a city, the app allows users to locate available areas, place an immediate or forward reservation, then pay for the usage of the space from a smartphone or tablet.
The service also benefits businesses with meeting or conference rooms that can sit vacant through the day. Booqed allows such companies to monetise the facilities instead.

“The new economy is one that is both dynamic and mobile. Business people travelling overseas might need to host a meeting that requires more privacy than what a nearby cafe can offer. Freelancers, students, associations or just about anyone that requires a bit of space and discretion for a quiet discussion or simply get some work done, will find Booqed easy and convenient to use,” said David Wong, CEO, Booqed. “We are disrupting the traditional way meetings and work happens you might say.”
