Embrava + Zynq

Zynq plans the hybrid week and lays it out on an interactive map. Embrava is the desk and door presence that makes that map real to the people on the floor. Together they let employees see, tap, and trust a booking without ever opening the app, and without changing the platform your team already coordinates in.

Two layers, one floor

Who does what.

Zynq and Embrava own different halves of the hybrid problem. Zynq is the software that coordinates the week and decides who sits where. Embrava is the hardware that makes that decision visible the second someone walks up to the desk or the door.

Zynq

The hybrid coordinator

  • Desk and room booking on interactive office maps
  • Team coordination so people land in on the same days
  • Workplace analytics and reporting
  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace at the system of record
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 Zynq
How it fits together

One schedule, two surfaces.

The integration runs both ways. A desk or room reserved on the Zynq map appears 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 someone arrives and 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 Zynq. The interactive map, the physical device, and the schedule never drift apart.

Nothing about your Zynq setup has to change. There is no middleware to run, no parallel calendar to keep clean, and no new login for employees. Zynq stays the system of record for the hybrid week. Embrava is the layer that lifts it off the screen and onto the desk and the meeting-room door.

What Embrava adds

What a Zynq 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 open at the desk, no new credential to issue.

A map you can read without the map

A 256-color status light shows free, reserved, or in use from across an open floor, so a Zynq booking is legible to anyone walking past, not just to the person who opened the interactive map on their phone.

Reality, not just intent

Zynq captures who booked the week. 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 Zynq schedule, both managed from one place.

Common questions

Embrava and Zynq, answered.

Does Embrava work with Zynq?
Yes. Embrava Desk Sign and Room Sign integrate with Zynq through the Embrava platform. A desk or room booked in Zynq shows up on the sign, and a check-in made at the sign flows back to Zynq, so the interactive map, the device, and the schedule all agree. There is no middleware and no second calendar to keep clean.
Do I have to replace Zynq to add Embrava signs?
No. Embrava is the hardware layer that sits behind the booking platform you already run. Zynq stays your system of record for desks, rooms, and hybrid scheduling; Embrava signs surface those bookings at the desk and the meeting-room door and capture check-ins. No rip-and-replace, no middleware, no new credentials for employees.
How does Embrava make a Zynq interactive map legible on the actual floor?
Zynq plans the hybrid floor on screen with interactive maps and team coordination. Embrava is the physical presence that makes that plan readable to the people walking it. A Desk Sign shows whose desk it is right now, a Room Sign shows live availability at the door, and a color status light tells anyone across the room whether a space is free, reserved, or in use, without opening the Zynq app.
Does the Embrava and Zynq integration cover both desk and room booking?
Yes. Zynq handles desk booking and room booking, and Embrava puts hardware on 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 Zynq schedule drives both devices.
If we move off Zynq 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 Zynq to Microsoft Places, Eptura, ServiceNow, or another platform. The hardware decision and the software decision stay separate.
