Frequently Asked Questions

What does GoBright add to Microsoft Places?
GoBright complements Microsoft Places by providing an all-in-one workspace management tool, detailed real-time analytics, and seamless Microsoft 365 integration. This allows organisations to better allocate resources, simplify desk and room booking, and enhance employee well-being – all in one intuitive platform. By choosing GoBright, you gain interesting insights and easy-to-use features designed to improve the hybrid work experience beyond what Places alone offers. Examples of these features are occupancy sensors, room mapping, and multi-purpose room bookings. These tools extend Microsoft Places’ capabilities by ensuring that employees not only book spaces easily but also make data-informed decisions on workspace utilisation and flexible planning.
How does GoBright integrate with Microsoft Places?
GoBright is fully integrated with Microsoft Places. This means that any booking you make in the Microsoft Places app, is automatically synchronised with the GoBright calendar, and vice versa.
Can I use GoBright and Microsoft Places separately from each other?
Yes, GoBright and Microsoft Places can be used separately. Each solution provides independent tools for managing and optimising hybrid workplaces. Microsoft Places primarily focuses on managing office space, scheduling, and collaboration, helping organisations plan in-person work days and manage shared spaces within Microsoft 365. On the other hand, GoBright offers a full suite of smart workplace solutions, including desk and room booking, visitor management, and advanced analytics, independently of Microsoft Places. If integrated, they complement each other—GoBright’s features, like deeper analytics and visitor management, can enrich the hybrid experience Microsoft Places offers. But they remain functional as standalone platforms, making it possible for companies to choose one or use both based on their specific needs.
What is the cost difference between GoBright and Places?
The price difference depends on many factors like required products, licences, hardware, sensor usage, and the organisation’s size. While Microsoft Places uses a licence model per user, GoBright charges per asset—such as desks, meeting rooms, or parking spaces. This often makes GoBright up to five times more cost-effective, especially in flexible working environments where fewer desks are needed than employees.

At GoBright, we rather focus on the value it brings customers , instead of the costs. Our solutions help organisations save on office space and resources while improving employee satisfaction and productivity. This delivers not just cost savings, but lasting business benefits.
