tastic user experience with data driven decision making tools for the organisation.” said Jon Knight, Commercial Director at Ascentae. “We love to work with Ascen- tae as our Go Bright distributor for the UK. Our business is growing quickly, and we need to work with partners who can provide real value to support re- sellers and their customers.

employees to make better use of their time. Go Bright goes beyond current solutions in the market to provide a far more efficient approach to managing office space. Too often remote workers find themselves unable to book a meeting room or find a suitable desk space when they come into the office. So, it’s difficult for them to con- nect with colleagues to share ideas and make joint decisions when they need to and impos- sible to find a desk that suits their individual requirements, between meetings. It’s also a challenge for office managers to plan space in the office and make sure it’s fully utilised. Go Bright changes all of that. It’s simple for users to book space by MS Outlook or G-suite or through their phone – whether that’s desk space or a meeting room – as and when they need it.


The Go Bright platform also provides with


Facilities Managers


a cost-effective way of managing and monitoring of- fice space to make sure it’s always fully utilised. It even provides an effective way of


making sure that visitors are booked in and routed smooth- ly to the right place, so it im- proves their experience. Contact Ascentae to learn more or visit our showroom
