The Way People Work Has Changed.
Most businesses are caught between the energy of an office and the flexibility of remote working. Labyrinth Technology helps you bring both together with a hybrid workplace setup that actually works.
The Workplace Has Shifted for Good
Fully remote or fully office-based no longer suits most businesses. A properly designed hybrid model gives your team the flexibility they want without losing the collaboration that drives results.
Smart Desk Management, Not Guesswork
With Envoy Desks, managers can see exactly which desks are available, assign permanent spots where needed, and let staff book their workspace from a phone or browser.
One Platform, Every Workplace Need
From room booking and visitor management to delivery tracking and health screening, the Envoy Workplace platform handles the complexity of a shared, flexible office so you do not have to.
Why Hybrid Working Is Harder Than It Looks
Hybrid workplace management is one of the most common challenges facing businesses right now. The concept is simple enough: some staff in the office some days, others working remotely. But without the right tools, managers have no reliable way to know who is coming in, when, or where they will sit. Too many desks and you are paying for space you do not need. Too few and staff arrive to find nowhere to work. A business with 100 employees can typically operate across 50 to 70 desks when desk availability, team neighbourhoods, and visitor access are all properly managed. Without that visibility, the imbalance quietly erodes productivity and wastes money on real estate you no longer need.
Most businesses have no intention of going back to five days a week in the office. The challenge now is right-sizing the physical workspace to match how people actually use it. That means data rather than guesswork, giving staff the freedom to choose where they sit based on what they need to get done, while still letting managers group teammates by project or function when collaboration matters. Handling visitors properly is part of that picture too, keeping the office welcoming without creating a security gap. Spreadsheets and informal booking systems tend to fall apart quickly as teams grow.
How Labyrinth Technology Builds Your Hybrid Workplace
Hybrid workplace technology works best when it is set up thoughtfully and connected properly to the tools your team already relies on. Labyrinth Technology partners with Envoy to deliver a workplace platform that covers every part of the flexible office experience. Envoy Desks gives managers full visibility over desk availability, whether those desks are permanently assigned, open for booking, or temporarily out of use. Staff can book a desk for the day or plan ahead through the Envoy app or a browser. Neighbourhoods within the seating plan mean teammates can be automatically grouped by team or project, while still having the flexibility to move if they prefer. The platform connects with Microsoft Teams, Slack, DocuSign, Eventbrite, and many more tools your team already uses, so nothing needs to change about how you work day to day.
Beyond desks, the Envoy platform extends to conference room scheduling through Envoy Rooms, delivery management through Envoy Deliveries, and visitor sign-in through a customisable digital flow with instant staff notifications and screening built in. If you are unsure how all of this fits with your existing setup, Labyrinth Technology’s cloud consulting service can help you plan the right approach before anything is configured. For businesses already running Microsoft 365, the integrations are particularly smooth, and tools like SharePoint can sit alongside Envoy to give your team a single, connected working environment. Labyrinth Technology handles the configuration, the rollout, and the ongoing support so you get the full benefit from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our IT services and solutions
A hybrid workplace is a working model where employees split their time between working remotely and working from a shared office. Rather than requiring everyone in every day, a hybrid model gives staff flexibility while keeping the physical space available for collaboration and focused work. The key is having the right technology in place to manage desk availability, room bookings, and visitor access so the office runs smoothly even when occupancy changes day to day.
It depends on your team size and working patterns, but a well-managed hybrid setup typically needs between 50% and 70% of the desks you would require if everyone came in every day. A business with 100 staff could operate comfortably on 50 to 70 desks, provided those desks are managed with a booking system that gives both staff and managers real-time visibility. Getting that balance right is where tools like Envoy Desks make a significant difference.
A reliable hybrid workplace depends on several interconnected technologies. Laptops and cloud-based applications mean staff can work from anywhere. Video conferencing and collaborative tools keep remote and in-office teams connected. On top of that, a workplace management platform handles desk booking, room scheduling, visitor sign-in, and delivery management. Labyrinth Technology can advise on and implement the full technology stack needed to make hybrid working genuinely effective for your business.
Envoy Desks is a desk booking and workplace management tool that gives managers control over how office space is used. Managers set which desks are available to book, which are permanently assigned, and which are temporarily unavailable. Employees can then book a desk for the day or in advance through the app or a browser. Managers can also create neighbourhoods within the office layout, grouping teammates by function or project so collaboration happens naturally without removing the flexibility staff value.
Yes. The Envoy Workplace platform supports a wide range of out-of-the-box integrations, including Microsoft Teams, Slack, DocuSign, and Eventbrite. Your team can receive desk booking confirmations, visitor notifications, and workplace updates through the tools they already use. Labyrinth Technology manages the integration setup as part of the implementation, so everything connects cleanly from the start.
Absolutely. Labyrinth Technology takes care of the entire process, from understanding how your team currently works to configuring the Envoy platform, integrating it with your existing tools, and providing ongoing support once it is live. We handle the technical complexity so your team can focus on getting the most out of a properly functioning hybrid workplace, rather than troubleshooting setup issues alone.
Visitor management is a core part of the Envoy platform. Envoy's visitor management system lets guests sign in through a customisable digital flow, with instant notifications sent to the relevant employee. Screening questions can be added to the process, and the system keeps a record of everyone who has accessed the building. It is designed to feel welcoming rather than bureaucratic, while keeping your workplace secure and access properly tracked.ShareProject contentLabyrinth TechnologyCreated by youAdd PDFs, documents, or other text to reference in this project.

The winning factor when choosing Labyrinth as our IT partner was that we never had to speak to “traditional sales”, throughout the whole technical consultation process, we spoke directly to the technical/operational team and this process assured me that Labyrinth IT was a forward thinking solutions focused company.
