GoBright Connect

GoBright Connect is a patented smart workplace device that links each desk to the GoBright digital ecosystem. It combines desk status indication, fast check-in/out and personal desk controls in a compact unit with a glass top, clear LED lighting and a water-resistant design – well suited to hybrid, activity-based and hot desking offices. Integration with Microsoft Exchange, Office 365 and Google Calendar helps keep desk availability aligned with everyday scheduling.

Users can book, check in or release a desk via the GoBright Mobile App or by scanning an NFC/RFID badge. The LED ring provides instant, at-a-glance status (available, occupied, do not disturb, or cleaning needed), helping teams use shared spaces more smoothly and supporting clearer cleaning workflows.

For sit/stand desks, users can store personal height presets and recall them with one touch. It works as a follow-me system – any desk a user logs into can apply their saved sitting/standing settings. The platform also collects real-time desk occupancy data for analysis and reporting, and optional sensors can improve usage insights for more efficient workplace planning.
