Embrava + IBM Tririga

Tririga plans the portfolio from the top. Embrava measures it from the floor. The space decisions in your IWMS are only as good as the occupancy data behind them, and Embrava check-ins are that data, captured at the desk and the door rather than estimated.

Top-down meets ground-truth

Who does what.

Tririga and Embrava work different ends of the same building. Tririga is the IWMS that decides how real estate and space should be allocated. Embrava is the hardware that records how that space is actually used and feeds it back.

IBM Tririga

The portfolio brain

  • Real-estate and facilities management across the portfolio
  • Space planning, allocation, and reservations
  • Lease management and the wider IWMS workflow
  • The system of record for space and reserved capacity
Embrava

The hardware on the floor

  • Desk Sign and Room Sign at the point of use
  • Color status light readable from across the floor
  • Badge, NFC, Wallet, QR, and touch check-in
  • Ground-truth occupancy data fed back to Tririga
How it fits together

One record, two surfaces.

The integration is bi-directional. A reservation held in Tririga shows up on the Embrava sign in real time, with the booking details, the time remaining, and a color state anyone can read at a glance. When an employee checks in at the device, by tapping a badge, an NFC phone, a Wallet credential, a QR code, or the screen, that check-in flows straight back through the Embrava platform. The space record, the physical device, and the schedule never drift apart.

Nothing about your Tririga deployment has to change. There is no middleware to run, no parallel reservation system to keep clean, and no new login for employees. Tririga stays the system of record for real estate, space, and reservations. Embrava is the layer that brings it off the floor plan and onto the desk and the meeting-room door.

What Embrava adds

What a Tririga portfolio gains with hardware on the floor.

Occupancy measured, not estimated

Tririga optimizes space from the data it holds. Embrava captures that data at the source. Every check-in at the desk and the door is a real occupancy signal, so the portfolio decisions rest on who showed up, not who was assumed to.

Check-in employees already have

RFID badge at 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz, NFC phone, Apple or Google Wallet, HID Mobile credential, QR, or a screen tap. No app to install, no new credential to issue.

Availability you can see across the room

A color status light shows free, reserved, or in use from across an open floor, so people stop walking up to closed doors and squatting on the wrong reservation.

Rooms and desks, one vendor

Room Sign for meeting spaces and Desk Sign for hot-desking and hoteling, both driven by the same Tririga reservations, both managed from one place.

Common questions

Embrava and IBM Tririga, answered.

Does Embrava work with IBM Tririga?
Yes. Embrava Room Sign and Desk Sign connect to IBM Tririga through the Embrava platform. Reservations from Tririga appear on the sign, and check-ins captured at the sign feed back, so the space record, the device, and the schedule stay aligned. There is no middleware to run and no parallel reservation system to maintain.
Tririga already does space planning and reservations. Why add Embrava?
Tririga is an IWMS that optimizes the portfolio top-down: real estate, leases, space planning, and reservations. Those decisions are only as good as the occupancy data behind them. Embrava supplies that data at the floor level, measured at the desk and the door from real check-ins, rather than estimated. Embrava is the hardware that turns Tririga's plans into something employees see and tap, and turns what they actually do into a signal Tririga can act on.
Do I have to replace IBM Tririga to add Embrava signs?
No. Embrava is the hardware layer that sits behind the IWMS you already run. Tririga stays your system of record for real estate, space, and reservations; Embrava signs surface those reservations at the desk and the meeting-room door and capture check-ins. No rip-and-replace, no new credentials for employees.
How does Embrava improve the occupancy data Tririga relies on?
Portfolio and space decisions in Tririga depend on knowing how space is really used. Embrava measures that at the source. Every check-in at a Desk Sign or Room Sign, by RFID badge at 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz, NFC phone, Apple or Google Wallet, HID Mobile credential, QR code, or screen tap, is a ground-truth occupancy signal from the desk and the door. The result is utilization data that reflects who showed up, not just who reserved.
If we move off IBM Tririga later, do we lose the Embrava hardware?
No. Embrava signs are platform-agnostic. The Embrava platform sits between the device and your calendar and workplace systems, so the same hardware carries over if you switch from Tririga to Microsoft Places, Eptura, ServiceNow, or another platform. The hardware decision and the software decision stay separate.
