Embrava + Korbyt

Korbyt lights up the screens and runs the booking. Embrava puts a status light and a tap to claim it right on the desk and the door. Korbyt's content reaches the floor; Embrava's hardware reaches the seat, without changing the platform your team already books in.

Two layers, one floor

Who does what.

Korbyt and Embrava cover different halves of the workplace. Korbyt is the platform that publishes content and holds the space and desk booking. Embrava is the dedicated hardware that puts that booking in front of the person at the desk and the door.

Korbyt

Signage, comms, and booking

  • Digital signage and workplace content delivery
  • Space and desk booking inside the platform
  • Employee communications across screens and devices
  • The system of record for who reserved what
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 check-in data fed back to Korbyt
How it fits together

One booking, two surfaces.

The integration is bi-directional. A space or desk reserved in Korbyt 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 to Korbyt. The screen overhead, the physical device on the desk, and the booking never drift apart.

Nothing about your Korbyt setup has to change. There is no middleware to run, no parallel calendar to keep clean, and no new login for employees. Korbyt stays the system of record. Embrava is the layer that takes the booking off the wall-mounted screen and onto the desk and the meeting-room door, where the decision actually gets made.

What Embrava adds

What Korbyt's screens gain with hardware at the seat.

Tap to claim at the desk and door

RFID badge at 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz, NFC phone, Apple or Google Wallet, HID Mobile credential, QR, or a screen tap. Korbyt shows where to go; Embrava is the device people actually tap to take the space.

A status light, not just a screen

A 256-color status light shows free, reserved, or in use from across an open floor. It complements Korbyt's content screens with a glanceable signal at the exact desk or door in question.

Reality, not just intent

Korbyt captures who booked. Embrava captures who actually showed up. Every check-in is a ground-truth signal, so utilization reporting reflects the building as it really runs.

Rooms and desks, one vendor

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

Common questions

Embrava and Korbyt, answered.

Does Embrava work with Korbyt?
Yes. Embrava Desk Sign and Room Sign integrate with Korbyt through the Embrava platform. Space and desk bookings made in Korbyt appear on the sign, and check-ins made at the sign feed back to Korbyt, so the screen, the device, and the booking stay in sync. There is no middleware and no parallel calendar to maintain.
Korbyt already runs our signage. What does Embrava add?
Dedicated booking hardware at the desk and the door. Korbyt is signage and communications led, so its screens broadcast content and availability to a space. Embrava puts a physical Desk Sign or Room Sign at the point of use, with a color status light readable from across the floor and tap-to-claim check-in by badge, phone, Wallet, or QR. The two complement each other: Korbyt's screens at the macro level, Embrava's signs at the seat and the meeting-room threshold.
Do I have to replace Korbyt to add Embrava signs?
No. Embrava is the hardware layer that sits behind the platform you already run. Korbyt stays your system of record for content and booking; Embrava signs surface those bookings at the desk and the meeting-room door and capture check-ins. No rip-and-replace, no new credentials for employees.
Does the Embrava and Korbyt integration cover both desk and room booking?
Yes. Korbyt includes space and desk booking, and Embrava makes the hardware for both. Room Sign mounts outside meeting spaces with live availability and on-the-spot booking; Desk Sign sits on hot desks for tap-to-claim hot-desking and hoteling. The same Korbyt booking drives both devices.
If we move off Korbyt later, do we lose the Embrava hardware?
No. Embrava signs are platform-agnostic. The Embrava platform sits between the device and your calendar and booking systems, so the same hardware carries over if you switch from Korbyt to Microsoft Places, Eptura, ServiceNow, or another platform. The hardware decision and the software decision stay separate.
