ROAM’s presence spans ten premium properties across three states, anchored by an upscale model that seamlessly blends flexible workspaces with high-end meeting venues. Founded in 2008 by a group of IBM employees seeking a distraction-free, professional alternative to remote work, ROAM pioneered the shared workspace concept in Alpharetta, Georgia. Since expanding its business model in 2011 to encompass full-service luxury meetings alongside corporate coworking, the brand has focused on creating dynamic environments where productivity thrives. Today, ROAM stands as a premier regional destination for businesses seeking flexible, hospitality-infused workspace solutions that drive organizational success.
In the rapidly expanding market of flexible corporate workspaces, ROAM differentiates itself by pairing premium amenities with sophisticated multi-location operations. At the operational helm is Director of Sales, Bret Briggs, whose focus on strategic expansion and bottom-line efficiency guides ROAM’s multi-state growth. As the business scaled, managing a growing network of cross-property members required an agile, highly automated corporate infrastructure. By transitioning to OfficeRnD Flex, ROAM consolidated its disparate operational tools, unlocked substantial cost savings, and established a tech-forward foundation built for rapid, profitable expansion.
“OfficeRnD has definitely helped us scale best practices more efficiently across locations! The platform allows us to bring new staff and members in, rinse, wash, repeat, and grow. Scaling operations is just easy to do and certainly revenue has scaled too.”
With the ambition to expand seamlessly across state lines, ROAM found itself held back by a fragmented and expensive backend infrastructure. The team was juggling five disconnected software platforms to handle basic daily tasks like billing, member tracking, and meeting room bookings. This tech clutter meant paying redundant vendor fees, processing credit card transactions across multiple gateways, and forcing staff to manage and maintain multiple complex systems.
Every time ROAM looked to open a new location or scale outside its home state, they faced the costly, inefficient hurdle of manually recoding their website architecture, which previously required a quarter-million dollars in custom software development. To achieve true operational velocity, ROAM needed an all-in-one solution that could centralize billing and multi-site access control and streamline workflows without a massive capital expenditure.
ROAM needed a platform that could:
ROAM’s move to OfficeRnD Flex completely transformed their operational playbook. By replacing five separate applications with a single centralized dashboard, the platform brought instant efficiency to ROAM’s community managers. Instead of fracturing financial data across multiple platforms, memberships, recurring fees, day-of charges, and coffee bar sales were unified into one streamlined billing stream that integrates directly with QuickBooks.
The platform also resolved the complex puzzle of multi-location access. Through a seamless native integration with Kisi access control, members gain frictionless, 24/7 entry to all ten properties across three states, while backend teams track member cross-utilization and security footprints automatically.
To fuel data-driven scaling, ROAM levaraged the Data Hub. Leadership can now pull critical metrics on churn, lifetime value, and specific location revenue in seconds, transforming raw data into fast corporate decisions during weekly alignment meetings. Seeking further top-line growth, ROAM is currently launching Growth Hub to capture hands-off digital revenue by listing memberships, day passes, and meeting spaces directly on their website with zero upfront strain on internal IT resources.
ROAM’s journey with OfficeRnD Flex highlights the massive financial and operational leverage that comes with a consolidated tech stack. Moving into their eighth year of partnership, the business has eliminated thousands of dollars in administrative waste and custom software development fees. Manual data aggregation and siloed billing processes have been replaced with automated workflows and real-time dashboard visibility, empowering on-site teams to focus entirely on customer acquisition and premium service.
For a high-growth flex space brand, a unified technology platform is not just an administrative utility; it is the financial engine that makes scaling simple. ROAM’s success proves that when corporate operational visibility and modern automation unite, scaling across borders becomes a highly profitable reality.
“If I had to describe the impact OfficeRnD has had on ROAM in one sentence, I would say that it has allowed us to live out our mission, which is hospitality-focused and people-first. It's a platform that, yes, it does a lot of the logistical things you need it to do, but it also allows you to connect with the people that are in your space or coming to your space in a way that we never could have prior.”
