The Benefits for Our Customers
The PointGrab and GoBright partnership delivers concrete advantages for organisations managing flexible and hybrid workplaces.
Accurate Space Utilisation Insights
PointGrab sensors provide real-time occupancy data that validates booking information from GoBright’s desk and room booking systems. Facilities teams can identify which areas are genuinely underutilised versus which are simply not being booked properly. This distinction is critical for making informed decisions about space reconfiguration, downsizing, or expansion.
Reduced No-Shows and Ghost Bookings
By comparing booking data with actual occupancy, organisations can identify patterns of no-shows and implement targeted policies to improve booking behaviour. The combined data from both systems enables automated release of unused bookings, ensuring spaces return to availability for others.
Optimised Workplace Strategy
The integration supports data-driven decisions about hot-desking ratios, meeting room configurations, and departmental zoning. Workplace managers can see not only what employees book through GoBright but what they actually use, as measured by PointGrab sensors. This dual perspective enables confident adjustments to workplace policies and physical layouts.
Enhanced Employee Experience
Real-time occupancy data can be displayed through GoBright’s digital signage and mapping solutions, helping employees find available spaces quickly without searching floor by floor. The combination reduces frustration and wasted time whilst improving the overall office experience.
Sustainability and Cost Savings
Accurate occupancy data enables better control of HVAC, lighting, and other building systems. Spaces that are booked but not occupied—or occupied but not conditioned—can be identified and addressed. This optimisation reduces energy waste and supports sustainability commitments whilst lowering operational costs.
Compliance and Safety
For organisations managing occupancy limits for health and safety reasons, the PointGrab and GoBright integration provides both booking controls and actual occupancy monitoring, ensuring compliance with capacity restrictions and providing audit-ready reporting. The partnership enables GoBright’s analytics capabilities to incorporate sensor-validated data, delivering richer insights that support hybrid working, flexible space management, and strategic real estate decisions.
The Synergy Within PointGrab
PointGrab combines strategic workplace consulting, sensing technology, and expert implementation to deliver occupancy intelligence solutions by first understanding each client’s workplace challenges, such as improving space utilisation, supporting hybrid work strategies, reducing real estate costs, and enhancing employee experience, ensuring sensor deployments are aligned with business goals rather than simply collecting data. Their technology integration expertise enables seamless connectivity between CogniPoint sensors and workplace management platforms including GoBright, supported by an open API architecture and partnerships with leading workplace software providers for unified data flows and consolidated reporting. Implementation is simplified through flexible deployment models, with CogniPoint 2 Flex sensors using battery power and Thread networking for rapid, cable-free installation that reduces disruption, while PointGrab supports clients throughout the entire journey from assessment and deployment to integration and ongoing support, delivering actionable workplace insights that help GoBright customers maximise the value of their smart workplace solutions.
