What is Door Tablet?
Door Tablet is a complete workspace management solution that provides both scheduling software and physical touchscreen displays for your meeting spaces. The platform connects directly to your calendar, such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, instantly updating the screen outside the room when someone books a meeting to stop double-bookings and interrupted conversations.
Our team enables organisations to thoroughly evaluate our scheduling software and physical displays before making a purchase. Prospects can test native integrations through live demos, temporary licenses, and 30-day hardware pilots.
Explore the different ways your team can evaluate our solution, from initial discovery through to hands-on testing for administrators and IT teams:

Temporary Evaluation Licenses
You can request a temporary license to test live integrations with our supported scheduling platforms, including Microsoft 365, Exchange, or Google Workspace using your own calendar data. This license removes the standard "evaluation software" pop-up that appears after one hour of unlicensed use.
Free Server for Small Deployments
The Door Tablet server is completely free for customer-hosted deployments of four rooms or fewer. Room licenses are still required. This provides the perfect bridge between a trial and a live rollout.
Level 3: Hardware Pilots and Proof of Concept (PoC)
30-Day Hardware Evaluation Programme
You can test the physical tablets in a real-world environment for 30 days and return them if you and your team choose not to proceed. Your facility teams should use this time to test physical mounting options, touch-interface responsiveness, and RFID/NFC badge check-ins.

Technical Workshops and Architecture Review
Most customers successfully set up their PoC using our included support, manuals, and video resources. However, if you'd like us to take care of the full setup, plan wider rollout strategies, and handle complex integrations, you can purchase dedicated, in-depth consulting hours as needed.
