Is Awaio an alternative to Envoy?

Yes. Awaio covers desk, room and parking booking like Envoy, and adds digital locks, lockers and door access that open with the phone, all in one system. Many teams start with one module and add more later.

How is Envoy priced compared to Awaio?

Envoy prices each product separately: Visitors per location, Reservations per bookable resource, Screens per device, Deliveries per delivery location and emergency notifications per user. Awaio is priced per resource, such as desks, rooms, lockers and parking, with unlimited users.

Can we move from Envoy to Awaio?

Yes. Awaio connects to the same Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace calendars and accounts, so rooms and people come from systems you already use. Admins draw floor plans in the browser and can go live one module at a time.

Does Awaio work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

Yes. Awaio syncs room calendars both ways with both, supports sign-in with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and has an Outlook add-in for booking desks, rooms, parking and lockers.

Can Awaio run a building with several companies?

Yes. Each tenant gets its own community with its own admins, members and booking rules. The property owner runs shared rooms, parking and entrance doors.

Awaio vs Envoy: which workplace platform fits you?

Envoy focuses on visitor management, security and compliance, with desk, room and parking booking sold as a separate product. Awaio books desks, rooms and parking, and opens doors and lockers with the phone, all in one system.
