Meetings are becoming the central part of one’s business life as more people work outside of the office at remote locations and offices are configured to devote more square footage to shared collaborative spaces. With more emphasis on working together, meeting coordination is essential and challenging, particularly since administrative support is not readily available. Now, with the launch of Meeter, comes a solution that promotes not only the automated scheduling of meetings, but also provides a standardized framework for managing what happens during the meetings and collects the historical documentation of what transpired.
Meeter is a “Smart Meeting” service, powered by an algorithm that proactively searches for optimal meeting availability, learns behaviors, and adapts to the meeting preferences of participants. An innovative alternative to passive calendar systems that exist today, Meeter adds value to its users throughout the “Meeting Lifecycle” – before, during and after.
A SaaS-based service, Meeter allows for meetings to be scheduled instantly for up to 100 participants at a time. The Meeter app is universally available and can be downloaded through the apps stores for iOS and Android systems, as well as on the web and can work with participants who may not have the app. Because Meeter does not share meeting details or data, it’s non-intrusive and secure.
Meeter also tracks and analyzes the user’s time, providing insights about past meeting history and reporting on who a user met with, for how long and when and over time will suggest potentially constructive future meetings. By saving time and increasing collaboration, Meeter can help significantly increase productivity.
Today the company is also announcing $900,000 in seed funding to build out its functionality and expand its collaboration solution.
How Meeter works
Meeter schedules and coordinates meetings instantly by accessing online calendars from Google, Outlook and other passive calendar software. Meeter automatically determines when users are free, meeting time preferences, and recommends a time convenient for multiple participants. Through the Meeter dashboard, all meetings both scheduled and still awaiting confirmation, are visible at a glance and synchronized with all of a user’s calendars.
“Meetings today are a major drain on the workforce productivity. Our mission is to optimize meetings and automatically organize data so a significant portion of your day that is currently spent on setting them up, can be made productive. With Meeter people will be able to easily collaborate about meetings; creating one place that immediately serves as an archive for meetings,” said Niv Kagan, CEO and founder, Meeter. “Setting up meetings instantly is a crucial first step and we’re delivering that with an intelligent app that is easy to use, has universal application, and is non-intrusive.”
