Desk and meeting room booking software, in two clicks
Orbit turns workplace strategy into simple booking, access and operational workflows for employees and workplace teams.
Employees can find and book appropriate desks, meeting rooms and collaboration spaces across web, iOS and Android. Workplace teams can configure policies, permissions and governance, then compare booking intentions with actual utilisation.
Orbit balances a straightforward employee experience with the policies, permissions and operational control required by workplace teams.
Workplace experience capabilities
Explore Orbit’s desk booking software and meeting room booking software in more detail.
Find and book the right space
Search and book desks, meeting rooms and collaboration spaces based on availability, capacity, equipment, accessibility, amenities and location. Available across web, iOS and Android.

Personalise the workplace experience
Use preferences, recent bookings, familiar work areas and nearby alternatives to help employees find appropriate spaces without repeatedly starting from scratch.

Configure policies, permissions and roles
Apply booking and access rules by building, floor, neighbourhood, team, business unit or resource. Support employees, assistants, reception, workplace teams and administrators through appropriate permissions.

Compare booking intent with actual use
Analyse demand, lead times, cancellations, repeat bookings and no-shows. Combine Orbit booking information with Observe occupancy evidence to understand where stated demand differs from actual behaviour.

From strategy to everyday behaviour
The resulting booking behaviour becomes new workplace evidence, creating a continuous cycle of measurement, decisions and improvement. From occupancy evidence to managed desk sharing, organisations can successfully bridge the gap between high-level strategy and daily execution.
From measurement to transformation
Observe, Tessellate and Orbit support each stage of the Measure, Model, Transform framework, from gathering workplace evidence to testing options and supporting change.
Measure
Gather the evidence needed to understand how the workplace performs.
Model
Test workplace options before committing to change.
Transform
Turn the selected option into a practical course of action.
Planning your booking rollout
Which calendar and sign-in options are available?
Outlook integration is available for meeting room workflows. SSO can support your access requirements; we confirm the identity provider, permissions and calendar configuration with your IT team during scoping.
Can we control who books each space?
Yes. Apply booking policies and permissions by building, floor, neighbourhood, team or resource, including appropriate roles for employees, assistants, reception and administrators.
How does automatic release work?
Combine Orbit with Observe occupancy sensing to support check-in and return unused booked spaces to availability. Sensor coverage, release rules and the employee experience are agreed for the deployment.
What do you need to set it up?
We scope your locations, floor plans, bookable resources, users and roles, booking policies and required integrations, then agree configuration, training and rollout. Read about network, privacy, access and data options.
How is Orbit priced?
Orbit is quoted around the locations, resources, users, integrations and support required. Sensor hardware, deployment and Tessellate decision support are scoped separately where needed. A booking demo helps establish the right scope.
