The future workplace is a secure, healthy, and technologically advanced environment.
A Smart Office is considered a high-tech Data-Driven Workplace in which analytics, technology, and the human touch help optimising the office environment. A Smart Office contributes to the productivity, well-being, engagement, and work experience of employees.
By combining software and hardware, technology meets human behaviour. Workplace Analytics provide a better understanding of employee needs, allowing you to design the workplace accordingly. This can help in saving costs and making more efficient use of floorspace. Imagine the possibilities to make the office more sustainable and reach sustainability goals.
The Smart Office also plays a major role in the changing office landscape. Flexible working is the new standard and technology is essential in ensuring connectivity and collaboration between remote and in-office employees.

Workplace Analytics can help understanding employee behaviour and preferences.
The Return on Investment (ROI) in a Smart Office is unmatched, both in saving costs and non-financial benefits.
Smart workplace solutions are important to create a productive and efficient workplace. In the future workplace more work can be done in less time when people have smart tools to help them do so. An ecosystem of platforms, connections and technological solutions is essential for more comfort, safety and ease in the office.
Using smart technology gives employees control over their work environment. It helps them work autonomously, to share facilities in the office and to get insights into the overall usage of those facilities. Examples such as effortless video conferencing, easy desk- and room booking and internal communications systems all lead to improved employee wellbeing, increased productivity and better collaboration.
Smart technology can help tackle health and safety issues such as sanitation and ventilation, but also the mental security of knowing what to expect once you arrive at the office.
With GoBright’s Room Booking and Desk Booking software, employees can book a suitable space to work at in advance; decreasing stress and worries. The hardware such as the GoBright Connect or Interact indicates if the desk needs to be cleaned, or whether it is available to work at. And, with both pieces of hardware, you can easily and automatically switch between standing or sitting while working, making exercise part of your normal working routine.
The Smart Office software gives employees and visitors the certainty and comfort they need.
A Smart Office gives space for growth, increased productivity and even cost savings. Besides that, being sustainably aware and creating a positive employee experience can be realised as well. The Return on Investment (ROI) when implementing Smart Office solutions is various.
With the actual occupancy rate of meeting rooms and desks you can see how much office space is needed in the long-term. Based on this information you can decide to reduce your office space significantly by moving to another building, or renting out space to others. This is a sustainable way to lower energy consumption and save costs on rent.
The office contributes to the office durability and sustainability working with smart technology tools that regulate energy, extend the equipment lifespan, and promote flexible working environments. For example, When using GoBright Room Booking, in combination with Room Control and Room Sensors, the AV equipment and lighting are only used when the room is occupied. Electronics switch on and off automatically when entering/leaving the room. Our software even has a ‘night mode’ with which the screens are automatically switched off outside working hours. The ROI in the Smart Office is about saving money in various ways with the help of technology.
Smart Offices can also provide ROI regarding sick leave. A healthy working environment where employees are happy and content creates loyal employees who call in sick less. They are less likely to switch to another employer, making the investment even more worthwhile.
