How a Growing Coworking Space Automated Member Access and Cut Help Desk Calls in Half

Sacramento, CA

The Challenge

Before FollowThrough Works

A 15,000 sq ft coworking space in Sacramento was managing member access with a shared door code that changed monthly — and was always shared on social media within days. Guest WiFi ran on the same network as member devices, creating security and performance issues. The manager was fielding 20+ WiFi and access help requests per week.

What We Deployed

Our Solution

We deployed individual mobile credentials for all 80+ members, with 24/7 access scheduling per membership tier. Network was segmented into member, guest, and operational VLANs with managed firewall. Cameras with AI search were installed at entries and common areas. A visitor check-in kiosk replaced the manual sign-in for day-pass users.

The Result

The Outcome

Help desk calls dropped by more than half within the first month. The shared door code problem disappeared entirely. Members report significantly better WiFi performance. The manager can see occupancy, pull access logs, and review camera footage from one dashboard — and hasn’t fielded a single “WiFi doesn’t work” complaint since deployment.
