Case Study: McDougal Coworking achieves 24/7 operation, reduced staffing, and increased revenue with Kisi

McDougal Coworking - Customer Case Study

McDougal Coworking converted a former corporate headquarters in Lubbock, Texas into a branded coworking space and needed a reliable access control solution that would let them run 24/7 and monetize conference and community areas. They chose Kisi’s cloud-based access control app, integrated with their membership software Cobot, to automate member access and room bookings from day one.

Kisi’s system gives members preset permissions, opens and locks doors based on Google Calendar bookings, and enables after-hours meeting rentals with minimal staff intervention. As a result McDougal Coworking reports 24/7 operation with far lower staffing costs (saving roughly 10× the system’s monthly cost), private offices leased at 60–70% higher per-square-foot rates, a net 25% premium over comparable buildings, and rapid scaling to multiple U.S. locations and an international site in São Paulo — truly “powered by Kisi.”
