The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant change in the way we work. Remote and hybrid working are becoming increasingly popular. However, there is still a need for physical meetings and collaboration, which is where meeting pods come into play by providing a private space for small meetings or phone calls while enabling physical distancing.

In this blog post, we test VETROSPACE, a leading provider of meeting pods, from the perspective of Flexopus, a desk-sharing solution that has been using the pods for several years.

The importance of meeting pods

Compared to conventional conference rooms or open-space offices, meeting pods offer several advantages. They provide a private space for small meetings or phone calls, which can increase productivity and concentration. Due to their mobility, these mobile meeting pods can be flexibly repositioned when office conditions change.

About VETROSPACE

VETROSPACE specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of office meeting pods that meet the needs of modern workplaces. They use advanced technology and high-quality materials to create durable and environmentally friendly pods that provide privacy and comfort for small meetings or phone calls while meeting physical distancing guidelines. The Meeting Pods are designed to meet the challenges of modern office environments.

First impression of the mobile meeting pods

From the moment we stepped into the VETROSPACE Meeting Pod, we were struck by its sleek and modern design. The glass walls convey a sense of openness while offering privacy. The large pod is also equipped with a table and two benches, making it an ideal space for small meetings or phone calls. However, we found that the lighting was a little problematic as the light source comes from above, which can create poor light and unflattering shadows, especially on the face during online meetings.

Noise Cancelling

An outstanding feature of VETROSPACE is its impressive noise-canceling capability. Despite being located in a busy co-working space, the pod provides a quiet environment, making it ideal for important conversations or phone calls.

Ventilation of the office meeting pod

Another important feature of VETROSPACE is the ventilation system. This automatically detects when the CO₂ value is poor. If the air outside the pod is just as bad, the ventilation runs continuously.

Quality of the VETROSPACE meeting pods

We were very impressed with the quality right from the start. From the materials used to the craftsmanship, it was clear that a lot of thought and care had gone into the design and construction of the pod.

Connectivity

One area where we believe VETROSPACE could improve is in connectivity options. Although the pod offers multiple options for connecting devices, modern USB-C ports would be a welcome addition to make it easier for users to connect devices and hold online meetings.

Flexopus Meeting Room Display Integration

We were excited to see how the Meeting Pods can be integrated with the Flexopus Meeting Room Display. We installed an iPad mini with the Flexopus digital signage app, which quickly shows employees if the pod is already booked. It also allowed us to quickly book ad-hoc meetings and make the process more efficient and streamlined.

Advantages of meeting pods with Flexopus

By combining VETROSPACE meeting pods with Flexopus, users can enjoy the best of both worlds. Whether you need a quiet and private space for a phone call, a small meeting, or a desk for a longer period. The Flexopus digital signage app combined with the pod also helps to make the booking process more efficient and streamlined, making it even easier for users to book a room quickly.

Conclusion 

Overall, our experience with the VETROSPACE meeting pods has been extremely positive. The quality of the pods is top-notch, and the noise-canceling feature is particularly impressive. Although the lighting could be improved, this is a minor issue compared to the numerous benefits of how the meeting pods have simplified our everyday office life.
