Can we move from Tactic 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.

How is Tactic priced compared to Awaio?

Tactic is modular. Its estimator prices each product from the desks, rooms, resources and locations you manage, and some deployments use bundled or custom pricing. Awaio is priced per resource, such as desks, rooms, lockers and parking, with unlimited users.

Where is our data stored?

Tactic’s privacy policy says data is transferred to and processed in the United States. Awaio hosts customer data in the EU, is GDPR compliant and signs a DPA on request.

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.
