What is a smart workplace

Real time occupancy visibility. All office space occupancy can be made visible to users in realtime, or in advance. Occupancy can be visualised on interactive maps, way-finding and digital signage as well as trends highlighted.

Ascentae

Ready When You Are. A truly smart workplace goes beyond simple automation — it creates an adaptive, intelligent environment that actively supports how people work. It anticipates needs by preparing rooms and technology ahead of time, dynamically responding to real-time occupancy, and removing friction from collaboration. Employees simply arrive and focus on their work while the space, lighting, climate, and technology adjust seamlessly in the background.

Adaptive by Nature. By continuously monitoring and optimising how space and equipment are used, the workplace becomes a living ecosystem — evolving based on patterns of collaboration, supporting hybrid work, and enabling leaders to reimagine how their offices drive culture and performance.

Support That Scales. Employees feel supported and empowered with less time searching for rooms, troubleshooting teach or working in the wrong environment while the business benefits from optimising space usage, cutting energy waste, reducing downtime from AV issues and increased productivity from the staff.

Purpose-Driven Efficiency. This approach doesn’t just save energy or reduce costs — it delivers a workplace that inspires productivity, fosters connection, supports ESG goals, and keeps organisations agile for the future of work.

Smart workplaces

What is a smart workspace?

Enable frictionless hybrid work by combining space management, occupancy intelligence, and AV/UC orchestration, all powered by Ascentae’s curated ecosystem of smart workplace solutions.

 The nature of work has undergone a profound shift. Offices are no longer fixed “home bases” but fluid ecosystems that must support collaboration, individual focus, and hybrid flexibility.

 At Ascentae, we believe no single product can do it all. That’s why we partner with best-of-breed vendors, such as GoBright, PointGrab, and Utelogy, to deliver a unified, scalable, and modular smart workplace ecosystem. Each component serves a distinct role, yet when integrated, they provide more than the sum of their parts.

Why this ecosystem approach matters

Modularity & flexibility

You don’t have to adopt everything at once. Start with desk/room booking or occupancy analytics and expand over time.

Integrated intelligence

PointGrab’s data can feed GoBright’s capacity logic (e.g. automatically blocking booking when a space is over capacity). Utelogy’s telemetry can feed into usage models and preventive maintenance routines.


Operational efficiency and scaleability

Utelogy automates system health checks and alerts, reducing downtime. GoBright ensures that spaces are booked with precision. PointGrab avoids guesswork in real-estate decisions.

Data-driven insights & governance

With this setup, you gain visibility into space usage, resource allocation, and ROI, enabling better budgeting, realignment, and forecasting.

User experience, trust and privacy

All solutions are designed to protect user privacy (e.g., anonymised sensing by PointGrab) while providing end-users with simple, intuitive access to spaces and services.

Use cases in action

Hybrid Office Rollout. Employees reserve their desks or rooms through GoBright. PointGrab sensors validate real-time usage against bookings. Utelogy ensures AV & room technology are always ready, triggering alerts or automated resets if needed.

PointGrab

Space Rationalisation & Portfolio Optimisation. Use PointGrab’s analytics to detect underutilised zones. Rationalise seating, rezone, or repurpose with confidence.

Proactive AV/UC Support & Lower TCO. Overnight, Utelogy runs a health check and  identifies any faults with the AV equipment  which triggers self-healing scripts,and sends alerts, reducing ticket volume and reactive support costs so your meeting rooms are always ready.

GoBright Visitor Management

Visitor & Wayfinding Management. Combine GoBright’s visitor check-in and digital signage with occupancy data to guide people through the workplace, facilitate crowd control, and manage capacity management.

Utelogy

ESG Data-driven Sustainability. Deliver huge financial enery savings by automating your office environment with real-time occupancy data and booking information to control air-conditioning, lighting, and AV equipment.

Frictionless workspaces. Streamline meeting room management by automating booking, fault detection, and reallocation to provide seamless check-in and attendance tracking in reports.
