We turned empty desks into workspace anyone can book in minutes.

Workero is a digital platform where corporate partners open their unused offices to freelancers, startups, scale-ups and independents, who book their workspace there — creating business opportunities, fostering innovation and easing mobility issues.

Since 2017, Wildstream has built and extended the platform: a booking engine with Stripe payments, a back office for partner businesses, a community with an Android and iOS app, and machine learning recommendations for events and projects.

Flexible Workspace Booking Platform

Companies with unused office space needed a simple way to rent it out to freelancers and startups. That called for a robust, flexible, user-friendly digital platform, integrated with a series of third-party providers, where companies and individuals could connect to exchange ideas, rent and book office space, subscribe to events and share news.

Horizon 2020 eligible

As a driver of innovation in how workspaces are used, Workero became eligible for European Commission funding.

What we did

A web and mobile platform with a booking engine, Stripe payments, community features and a back office for partner businesses.

On the interactive public platform, professionals sign up with multiple account options and book their flexible workspace in a matter of minutes. Partner businesses manage the bookings in their own offices through an extensive back-office portal, while members — the “Heroes” — read and share news, subscribe to Workero events and stay in touch through the Android and iOS app.

How it works

A professional signs up or logs in using one of multiple account options
They book a flexible workspace in a partner company’s office in a matter of minutes
Payment is processed securely through Stripe
The partner business manages the booking in its back-office portal — for its own employees or for externals
Members stay connected through the community and the mobile app — news, events and projects

Key capabilities

Public booking platform

An interactive site with a powerful booking engine handles sign-up, multiple login options, bookings and payments in one flow.

Partner back office

Partner businesses manage every booking in their workspaces from one extensive portal, whether made by their own staff or externals.

Workero community

Members, called Heroes, read and share news and subscribe to Workero events, so a booked desk also opens a network.

Mobile app

An Android and iOS app lets Heroes message other members, share events, projects and business news, and book anywhere.

Long-term partnership

Since January 2017, the collaboration has extended the platform from its booking engine to community features and mobile.

Applied AI

ML-Based Event & Project Recommendations

Community members miss relevant events and projects in a growing platform. Workero brings companies and individuals together to exchange ideas, subscribe to events and share news and updates — and as the community grows, it gets harder for each member to spot what is worth their time.

Interest-based

Each member sees events and projects chosen around the interests identified for them, not one list shared by all.

Data-driven

Data gathered on the platform feeds machine learning algorithms that work out what each user is interested in.

Web and mobile

Suggestions sit in the Workero community and its Android and iOS app, where members already share events and projects.

What we did

Data gathering and machine learning recommend events and projects based on each user's identified interests.

The recommendations work inside the Workero community, where members — the “Heroes” — read and share news and subscribe to events organised by Workero, and inside the mobile app, where they share events, projects and business news. Instead of browsing everything, each member is pointed to what matches their interests.

How it works

Members use the community and the app — reading and sharing news, subscribing to events, sharing projects
The system gathers data on this activity
Machine learning algorithms identify each user’s interests
Matching events and projects are recommended to the user

Key capabilities

Event recommendations

Suggests events that match the interests identified for each user, including those Workero organises for its community.

Project recommendations

Points members to projects shared in the community that fit their interests, opening the door to new collaborations.

Interest identification

Machine learning algorithms identify each user’s interests from gathered data, keeping suggestions personal rather than generic.

Impact

Machine learning that points every community member to the events and projects that fit their interests

Right partners, faster

Relevant project suggestions help community members find the right business partners and fast-track innovation together.

Less searching

Members spend less time scrolling past events and projects that don’t concern them, and more on those that do.

A more active community

Suggestions that match real interests encourage members to join events and take part in community projects more often.
