Embrava + Office Maps

OfficeMaps is how people find a desk, a room, and a colleague on an interactive map. Embrava is what they walk up to once they get there. The sign on the desk confirms the booking the map sent them to and takes the check-in, so the map reflects the real floor and not just the plan.

Two layers, one floor

Who does what.

OfficeMaps and Embrava own different ends of the same journey. OfficeMaps gets a person to the right spot from a map, before they leave their seat. Embrava is the physical sign waiting for them when they arrive, confirming the booking and reading their check-in.

OfficeMaps

The map you book from

  • Interactive office maps for desks and rooms
  • Find and reserve a space before you set off
  • Locate colleagues across the floor plan
  • The system of record for who reserved what
Embrava

The sign you arrive at

  • 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 OfficeMaps
How it fits together

From the map to the desk.

The integration runs both ways. When someone reserves a desk or room on the OfficeMaps map, that booking appears on the matching Embrava sign in real time, with the details, the time remaining, and a color state anyone can read at a glance. When they arrive and check in at the device, by tapping a badge, an NFC phone, a Wallet credential, a QR code, or the screen, that check-in flows back to OfficeMaps. The pin on the map and the sign on the desk tell the same story.

None of your OfficeMaps setup has to change. There is no middleware to run, no second calendar to keep clean, and no new login for employees. OfficeMaps stays the system of record and the map people book in. Embrava is the layer that brings the booking off the map and onto the desk and the meeting-room door.

What Embrava adds

What an OfficeMaps floor gains with hardware on it.

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.

The booking, waiting where they arrive

A 256-color status light shows free, reserved, or in use from across an open floor, so the desk the map pointed to is unmistakable and people stop squatting on the wrong booking.

A map that matches the room

OfficeMaps records who reserved a space. Embrava records who actually showed up. Every check-in is a ground-truth signal, so utilization data 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 OfficeMaps reservation, both managed from one place.

Common questions

Embrava and Office Maps, answered.

Does Embrava work with OfficeMaps?
Yes. Embrava Desk Sign and Room Sign integrate with OfficeMaps through the Embrava platform. A desk or room someone reserves on the OfficeMaps map appears on the matching sign, and the check-in captured at that sign feeds back to OfficeMaps. The map, the device, and the booking stay aligned, with no middleware to run.
OfficeMaps already shows desks on a map. What does an Embrava sign add?
OfficeMaps helps people find and reserve a space and locate colleagues before they leave their seat. Embrava is what they walk up to once they arrive. The Desk Sign or Room Sign confirms the booking the map sent them to, shows a color status light readable across the floor, and takes the check-in so the map reflects who actually turned up, not just who reserved.
Do we have to replace OfficeMaps to add Embrava signs?
No. Embrava is the hardware layer behind the booking software you already run. OfficeMaps stays your system of record and the map your people book in; 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 integration cover both desk and room booking?
Yes. OfficeMaps covers desks and rooms on the same interactive map, and Embrava makes hardware for both. Desk Sign sits on hot desks for tap-to-claim hot-desking and hoteling; Room Sign mounts outside meeting spaces with live availability. The same OfficeMaps reservation drives the device the booker was pointed to.
If we move off OfficeMaps later, do we lose the Embrava hardware?
No. Embrava signs are platform-agnostic. The Embrava platform sits between the device and your booking and calendar systems, so the same hardware carries over if you switch from OfficeMaps to Microsoft Places, Eptura, ServiceNow, or another platform. The hardware decision and the software decision stay separate.
