andcards Unlocks Your Web and Mobile Apps for Everyone
Optix restricts admins to the web and members to the mobile app only. Members can’t book meeting rooms or participate in your community without having to download a mobile app.
andcards takes a modern approach with a full suite of apps:
- Mobile app for iPhones, iPads, and macOS with M1/2 chips
- Mobile app for Androids and Chromebooks
- Progressive web app with push notifications
With andcards, admins, members, and nonmembers have the freedom to choose the platform. You’re empowered to manage your coworking space on the web and on the go. Your customers are free to sign up, book, and connect on the web and mobile.
On top of that, andcards white-label apps are a generation ahead for a number of reasons: full branding, native code, modular design, and accessibility features for people with visual impairments to build an inclusive community.
“You can't get more user friendly than andcards for both administrators and members. We love that as an administrator you can run everything from your app on your phone, you don't have to have your laptop making it super easy to run the business on the go, respond or do administrative tasks anytime anywhere.” — Meisha on Capterra
Optix’s mobile app is limited to members only and requires a login. In contrast, andcards’ mobile apps allow to explore your products and services, join events, chat, become a member, and even manage the space on the go.
andcards Is More Functional: Visitor Management, Room Display, Credits, Benefits, Events, External Bookings, and More
Optix focuses more on the design and less on customizability and functionality.
“The platform has multiple inconsistencies which affect business revenue. The onboarding process took four months instead of one + a significant additional investment into development was needed from our side.” – G2 review of Optix
Of course, andcards has a great design that’s easy to use. For example, over 95% of users book meeting rooms by themselves without requiring any assistance, which is a testament to user-friendliness.
But on top of that, andcards is a powerhouse. andcards offers a full suite of tools empowering you to:
- Auto-invoice and auto-pay for invoices in under 8 seconds
- Register and check-in visitors
- Sell credits and enable spending all around the app (not only meeting rooms)
- Organize events and sell tickets without Eventbrite
- Build a benefit catalog
- Use meeting room display
- Accept external bookings for rooms, desks, and even plan sign-up
What's more, unlike Optix, andcards offers flexibility. For instance, making billing changes is hassle-free with a simple 'Edit' click, saving you time, unlike the need to cancel and recreate plans on Optix.
“Between the event feature and the ability to let our customers use credits there was no other choice for us. It was just andcards. Nobody else could even remotely compete.” — Lindsay Hedenskog, CEO of LAMB
Unlike Optix, andcards is packed with value, offering rich features like meeting room display, visitor management, events, and much more.
andcards Supports Multiple Languages and Multiple Locations
Optix apps support English only.
If you’re based outside the English-speaking world or plan to welcome foreign customers, andcards got your back with full multilingual support. We already support English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Korean, and allow you to add your own languages. What’s particularly impressive — administrators enjoy full localization as well.
Multiplied by andcards’ powerful multi-location support (multi-currency, multi-time zone), you’re setting yourself up for global success.
“andcards helped us to expand from one location in Quito to multiple locations in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and the United States. Our Spanish-speaking customers in Latin America enjoy the same great user experience as our English-speaking customers in the US.” — Bryan Burgos from WorQ
Unlike Optix, andcards supports multiple languages and offers 24/7 chat support the world over.
andcards’ Support Is 24/7 the World Over
Optix’s support is mostly limited to Canada’s working hours.
andcards’ support is 24/7 across the entire world. This is what our customers say:
From Australia (GMT+11): “The customer support they provide is unlike anything I’ve experienced and I cannot rate them highly enough in this regard.” — Kate Moras from HUSTLE on Capterra
