Make hybrid planning feel simple
Give employees a clean daily view of who is in, where they are sitting, and what space is available.
Shortlist Tactic: the purchase is about connecting room and desk booking with managed services, workplace requests, seating changes and daily operations on one live map.
Shortlist Robin: room discovery, displays, employee schedules and the existing Robin workplace program are central. Robin also documents maps, moves, services, analytics, automatic booking and AI capabilities.
When to stay: If Robin already supports your booking and operational requirements, compare the actual administrative work and full quote before considering a switch.

Sources and method. Maintained by Tactic · Last reviewed October 15, 2026. Accountable role: Tactic website content lead. This is a documentation-based comparison, not a firsthand competitor benchmark. The workflow is an evaluation protocol, and the Tactic images are product examples, not a completed side-by-side test. Product references: Robin plans / scope ↗; Robin reference 2 ↗; Robin reference 3 ↗; Tactic products and pricing; Tactic integrations. Confirm plan-specific availability and contract terms with each vendor. Licensed G2 report dates and sample counts below remain separate historical evidence.
Same base inventory: 100 bookable desks, one location, 250 employees, 12 months, USD. This is a desk-only illustration, not a quote for the full workplace workflow above.
| Scope | Tactic | Robin |
|---|---|---|
| 100 desks · 1 location · 12 months | $3,600–$4,800 rough annual range from the live pricing estimator. Not a contractual quote. | Quote required for this exact inventory and annual period. No equivalent verified quote is available here; no savings claim is made. |
| Excluded from this base | Rooms, visitors, custom resources, requests, managed services and space/move products. Confirm identity, integrations, onboarding, floor-plan setup, support and taxes separately. | Ask for the same scope rather than a differently bundled entry plan. Confirm included users/resources, minimums and all setup, hardware and service fees. |
| Full workflow quote | Quote the same selected products, resource inventory, locations, users, integrations, hardware, onboarding, support and renewal terms. | Annual quote including required resource, meeting and workplace modules. Scope optional analytics and separate hardware explicitly. Quote the same full workflow requirements, not the desk-only base alone. |
Employee count is an evaluation input, not a promise of an unlimited-user contract. Final pricing and exact inclusion depend on the proposal. Where a public price is not equivalent to this deployment, request an equivalent quote from both vendors.

“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. Run the same meeting and workplace request in both platforms. Then compare administration, employee access, reporting scope, and the full annual quote.
Yes. Robin’s published modules include resource booking, space management (including move management and scenario planning), meeting management, workplace analytics, and visitor management. Those are not Tactic-only features. A useful comparison follows a real meeting from booking through setup, changes, service delivery, and reporting in each platform.
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.
