The purpose of this section is to illustrate how the Embrava Device Management Systems(DMS) synchronizes workspace bookings with Maptician and the Embrava Desk Sign.
The Desk Sign captures booking events at the workspace and sends these events to the Embrava Device Management System (DMS). The Embrava DMS then relays these events to Maptician using the Maptician API.

The Embrava DMS receives bookings events from Maptician and updates the associated Desk Sign accordingly.

All user and seat information is stored in Maptician. No sensitive information is stored in the Embrava DMS. The Embrava DMS simply uses Maptician to gather booking information which is then removed once the booking has ended.
