Case Study

Digital Dock

Digital Dock is Hounslow Council's first-ever affordable co-working space in Brentford, supporting small businesses, freelancers, and homeworkers. It provides facilities for media and digital tech players and integrates with Nexudus for automated operations. The project goal was to change the website design and integrate Nexudus.

THE PROBLEM

The primary challenge faced during the project was to seamlessly integrate Nexudus with the website to provide a better environment for the users. Nexudus was an essential tool for managing the bookings and meeting rooms, which were the main purpose of Digital Dock. The challenge was to ensure that the integration was done without any disruption in services or user experience.
