Is Awaio an alternative to Modo Labs?

It depends on what you need. Modo is an app platform that puts many existing systems behind one branded app. Awaio runs desk, room and parking booking, digital locks, door access and lockers itself, in one system. Many teams start with one module and add more later.

When does Modo Labs fit better?

When you already run a booking engine, an IWMS and access control, and want one branded app on top, with news, surveys and an AI assistant. Modo lists over 100 integrations and offers turn-by-turn indoor routing with map partners.

How is Modo Labs priced compared to Awaio?

Modo does not publish prices and sells by quote. A Modo article says pricing depends on the number of users and features licensed, and premium support and hosting are sold as extras. Awaio is priced per resource, such as desks, rooms, lockers and parking, with unlimited users.

Do we need our own access-control system for Awaio?

No. Awaio supplies its own digital locks and the Smart Access Box, which connects existing doors, gates and barriers to the app. Modo’s mobile access runs through the access-control system you already have.

Does Awaio work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

Yes. Awaio syncs room calendars both ways with both, supports sign-in with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and has an Outlook add-in for booking desks, rooms, parking and lockers.

Awaio vs Modo Labs: which workplace app fits you?

Modo Labs builds a branded workplace app on top of the systems you already run, with booking, news, mobile IDs and an AI assistant. Awaio books desks, rooms and parking, and runs digital locks, door access and lockers itself, all in the same system.
