Desk Booking System

Using desk sensors has many advantages and enhances the desk booking software.

• The sensor registers every desk occupation and makes it visible in the portal, the app and mapping. Even if the desk is being used without a booking. The desk is then occupied anonymous.
• Check-out is not necessary. When you leave your desk the sensor will detect that no movement is taking place – for a certain amount of time – and will automatically change the occupation status back to “available”. This means that employees can no longer occupy a desk while they themselves are located elsewhere.
• In case of a no-show the desk will automatically be freed up again for another user.
• Desk sensors measure the occupancy rate with 100% certainty. The sensors collect data and give an accurate overview of how much desks are actually used and for how long.
• The desk sensor detects the slightest movement and body heat.

When you booked a desk, you also need a dynamic locker at the same time, to store your belongings. Of course you want that locker to be near your workplace and suit your personal needs. With our desk sharing tool, locker integration is possible.

• Check the availability of lockers via Mapping, the portal or the app (‘claim a locker nearby’), but also on the locker bank itself.
• Book a locker at the same floor as your desk or meeting room, at the same time.
• Operate your locker with the GoBright app or NFC card.
• One user friendly system, one app on your phone.

Access GoBright Mapping via a touch screen at the office floor and the GoBright Portal. Mapping gives employees a visual display of the availability of meeting rooms and desks on each floor. It’s an interactive map that provides up-to-date information, based on desk/room bookings, check-ins and desk/room detection. You can also add points of interest to the Map, such as toilets, elevators, emergency exits etc.
