Questions about switching
How do I bring my Members over from Cobot?
Export your Members and Reservations from Cobot. Members come in by import with their Company and what is left of their allowances, and Reservations are brought in from your current software under Reservations ▸ Import.
What happens to our doors and Check-In?
With Access, each Member's doors follow their standing the moment it changes, and Access zones set the floors, rooms and hours a Plan opens. The front desk checks Members in at the door or with the phone camera, and Here Now shows who is in.
Cobot bills a team through one billing contact. How do Companies work in Calisto?
A Company is the payer and its people stay Members with their own Credits and history. Each Company has its seats, rate per seat, account manager, invoice day and contract end, and its agreement sets who pays beyond the allowance. Its contacts see seats used and invoices in the portal, and can add or end a person's seat.
