Welcome guests without the scramble
Notify hosts, keep arrival details organized, and connect every visit to the workplace around it.
Shortlist Tactic: the same team wants visitors, employee booking, room services, requests, seating and utilization connected to everyday workplace operations.
Shortlist Envoy: visitor screening, front-desk security, access integrations or emergency response are decisive. Compare Visitors, Reservations and the other required modules separately.
When to stay: If Envoy already meets your security and employee-booking requirements, establish what operational improvement justifies moving the guest and workplace workflows.

“We couldn't be happier with Tactic. It's so much easier to use and way more intuitive than the tool we were using before.”
“Tactic has made managing our hybrid workplace truly effortless. It just works, and people love using it.”
“From desk and room booking to visitor management, everything is more organized and efficient.”
A good switch starts with a shared plan. Use these checkpoints to scope your move to Tactic before committing to a launch date.
Identify locations, products, floor plans, directory sources, booking rules, and the workflows you need to keep.
Pilot the map, Teams access, calendar synchronization, room services, and request routing with employees and admins.
Confirm data migration, future reservations, training, support ownership, and a cutover plan with your team.
These are evaluation checkpoints, not a fixed implementation timeline or a promise that every legacy record can be imported.
| Records / work | Handling to agree | Pilot acceptance check |
|---|---|---|
| People and identity | Export the employee/team inventory and identify the authoritative directory. Confirm field mapping and provisioning before enabling users. | One employee creation, team change and deactivation reconcile correctly in a pilot. |
| Floor plans and resources | Collect approved plan files, desk/room inventories, amenities and stable identifiers. Agree what can be imported and what must be recreated. | The pilot map matches the physical floor and every room maps to the correct resource calendar. |
| Assignments and booking rules | Inventory assigned seats, neighborhoods, delegates, access rules and recurring policy exceptions. Configure and review the supported equivalents. | Assigned and shared seating, booking limits and representative exceptions behave as intended. |
| Future reservations and recurring meetings | Keep a dated export and choose the system of record for each calendar. Confirm whether records can be transferred, retained in the calendar or must be rebooked. | No duplicate bookings; edits, cancellations, recurring exceptions and time zones reconcile. |
| Historical utilization and service records | Export the records your policy requires and retain a readable archive. Do not assume legacy analytics or ticket history can be imported. | The archive is accessible and new reporting has a documented start date and consistent definitions. |
| Visitor records and integrations | Scope host data, visitor policy, retention and permitted transfer. Plan the reconnection of calendars, identity, chat, panels and access systems. | Approved sample flows work without duplicate invitations, stale access or broken notifications. |
| Cutover and rollback | Name the owner of data, integrations, employee communication and support. Agree a freeze window, pilot sign-off, launch checks and rollback decision. | Owners accept the cutover checklist and can restore the agreed fallback if checks fail. |
Your workplace lead owns resource and seating sign-off; IT owns directory and calendar checks; the implementation lead coordinates the pilot, cutover and fallback; the service owner accepts request routing. Name the people in your rollout plan before setting a launch date. No universal migration timeline or automatic transfer of every record is promised.
We’ll walk through how Tactic fits your workplace, identify the products and integrations you need, and scope your rollout.
Yes. Tactic brings booking, people, spaces, and workplace requests together. If visitor screening or emergency response leads your project, test those requirements explicitly. For everyday workplace operations, follow the booking through to room preparation and issue resolution.
Yes. Visitor security and daily employee booking are different evaluation areas. This page links to a historical G2 report for Envoy Reservations (listed on G2 as Envoy Workplace), not Envoy Visitors. Test screening, host notifications, booking, and workplace operations independently, and request a quote for the exact product mix.
Yes. The Tactic Teams app embeds the full Tactic interface inside Microsoft Teams. Tactic also supports Slack booking, reminders, and check-ins. Test the specific actions your employees need during your evaluation.
Use the same list of desks, rooms, locations, other resources, products, and integrations for both quotes. Confirm employee or usage limits, onboarding, hardware, support, add-ons, and renewal terms before comparing total cost.
Review floor plans, seating assignments, employee directories, booking policies, future reservations, historical records, and calendar integrations. Agree what can be imported, what must be configured, and how the cutover will work. Do not assume every record transfers automatically.
Timing depends on locations, data readiness, integrations, and internal approvals. Agree a project-specific plan with Tactic, including a pilot and ownership of training and support. Historical customer averages are not delivery commitments.
