Key differences

One system: OfficeRnD Workplace covers desks, rooms, parking, visitors and a helpdesk. Awaio adds digital locks, door access and lockers that open with the phone.
Doors that open from the app: OfficeRnD’s Brivo integration turns door events into check-ins but does not grant access. With Awaio, people open doors, gates and barriers with their phone.
Unlimited users: both price per resource. OfficeRnD caps users on its Start and Professional plans and sells Visitor Hub as an add-on. Awaio includes unlimited users.
Shared buildings and local support: Awaio lets several companies share one building, each running its own part, and support answers in English, Swedish and Norwegian. OfficeRnD support is in English only.
