Neat technology as a solution

Bechtle introduced Neat products. These devices are ready to use immediately and require no technical knowledge. Thijs: "Neat devices are not only stylish, but also extremely user-friendly. Installation is simple and operational within minutes." The on-screen instructions guide users step by step. Thanks to the custom-made mounting systems, such as the Neat Bar that is attached to a monitor with sturdy tape, installation is quick and hassle-free. The devices activate automatically when entering the room and a meeting can be started with just one push of a button.

For an organisation with multiple meeting rooms, it is essential to keep an overview of the equipment used. Neat Pulse offers the Province of South Holland the possibility to manage devices remotely, adjust settings and roll out software updates centrally. This ensures efficient and problem-free operation of the meeting solutions. We have linked Neat Symmetry to this. Previously, the camera showed the entire meeting room, making it difficult for home workers to see faces and expressions. The Neat Symmetry feature displays all participants individually and at the same size, creating a more natural and equal meeting experience.
