Common Challenges

Sound familiar?

Envoy customers come to us with the same four problems:

Man at laptop looking doubtful

Reporting won't export cleanly

With Envoy you're stitching spreadhseets together just to know where people sit.

With Robin your exports answer the question the first time. Attendance, utilization, and seating data come out of the dashboard ready to share.

Man looking burnt out

Surprise renewal price hikes

With Envoy long-term customers become frustrated by significant price hikes at renewal.

With Robin your pricing scales up and down, based on your active users and actual usage — not your real estate footprint.

Man at laptop looking confused

Feedback that goes nowhere

With Envoy the bugs and features you've logged for months haven't moved.

With Robin product updates ship monthly, with a public roadmap and a CSM who tells you what's coming and when.

Adoption that never sticks

With Envoy the workplace side never takes off. Desks, parking, and check-ins stay light.

With Robin booking happens where employees already work — Outlook, Teams, Google Calendar, and Slack — so adoption sticks.

Compare the Benefits

Why companies choose Robin over Envoy

Robin

Purpose

Built as a workplace platform

Room booking, desk booking, analytics, and visitor management built around how the office actually runs.

Built as a visitor app

Workplace features added on top of a check-in product. Capable on the surface, not the depth required to run day-to-day workplace operations.

Daily use

Where employees already work

Native booking inside Outlook, Teams, Google Calendar, and Slack. No app to open, no workflow to learn.

An app most teams skip

Employees route around it and book in their calendar instead. Desk and parking adoption stalls.

Reporting

Answers without exports

Attendance and utilization dashboards built for workplace leaders. Reports come out clean the first time.

Exports that need rework

Reports often arrive split across tabs or missing context. Floor reshuffles become spreadsheet projects.

Pricing

Predictable cost over time

Transparent pricing, analytics included, and no surprise renewal spikes.

Costs that creep up

Major renewal price increases and tier creep push total cost up over time.

Product velocity

Roadmap shaped by customers

Monthly releases with a public roadmap. Feedback turns into shipped features.

Workplace asks sit

Customer-logged glitches and asks on the workplace side stay open for months.

Switch with confidence

Robin is the workplace platform employees adopt, leaders trust, and IT can confidently support.

Native booking across every tool you already use

Reserve desks and rooms directly in Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Google Calendar, and Slack. No new apps or workflows to learn.

Hands-on onboarding starting from day one

From day one, you're paired with a dedicated CSM, tailored onboarding, and hands-on training so the transition is smooth and supported.

Visitor management you don't have to give up

Robin has visitor management, NDA workflows, badge printing, arrival displays, and package handling. One platform, no capability lost.

"We were using Envoy in some offices for visitors, but we wanted to streamline everything to one platform. Running two separate systems doing similar but different things didn't make sense at our scale. Robin gave us one platform across all our locations."

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is it easy to switch from Envoy to Robin?

Yes. Switching to Robin is designed to be straightforward and low-friction. Our team supports a smooth transition from your existing platform, even if you're currently under contract, with implementation guidance, data onboarding support, and preferred pricing for qualified organizations.

What does onboarding and support look like during the switch?

We'll work together on a clear implementation plan, a dedicated point of contact, and hands-on training from day one. The goal is to launch quickly, minimize disruption, and help both admins and employees adopt the platform with confidence.

What if we're still under contract with Envoy?

No problem, Robin will prorate your first year to reduce overlapping costs on qualifying purchases. Schedule a demo and learn more about the specifics of our offer.

What about visitor management?

Robin includes enterprise-ready visitor management as part of the workplace platform — NDA workflows, badge printing, arrival displays, package handling, and printer support are all built in. Most teams switching to Robin are consolidating and want one platform handling visitors, rooms, desks, parking, and analytics instead of paying for and managing separate ones.

Will employees actually use it?

Robin works inside Outlook, Teams, Google Calendar, and Slack so employees don't have to learn a new app or change their workflow. And because it's one platform, they're not jumping between apps to book a meeting, reserve a desk, or register a visitor. One workflow handles all of it, which is why adoption is high from day one.

Why are companies leaving Envoy?

Three reasons: consolidation, teams want one platform for visitors, rooms, desks, parking, and analytics instead of juggling multiple tools. Depth, visitor management is table stakes; running a hybrid workplace requires desks, rooms, and analytics working together as a system, which Envoy wasn't built to do. Cost, per-location pricing is hard to justify when you're only getting real value from one feature.
