GOGET Wayfinder X is a powerful digital signage solution designed to improve the workplace experience by helping employees and visitors navigate office spaces with ease. Typically installed in high-traffic areas such as lobbies, elevator banks, and key corridor intersections, Wayfinder displays provide a real-time, interactive overview of desk and room availability, upcoming bookings, and workspace locations.
Wayfinder X integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace, which provides accurate availability status for your rooms and desks. The solution is ideal for large offices where visibility and wayfinding are critical to productivity and visitor experience.
This article covers:
Main screen overview
The main screen shows ongoing and upcoming events in the office, along with directional guidance and a list of available meeting rooms. You can also enable an interactive map view of the office floor with the real-time availability of rooms and desks.
In addition, occupancy cards can be displayed, showing the number of available and total desks and meeting rooms.
To open the admin settings, tap the 'Powered by GOGET' logo located in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Key features
• Interactive floor plan with live availability:
Users can view room and desk availability at a glance and tap on an available workspace to make an instant reservation.
• Custom branding and flexible layouts:
Admins can tailor the display to match corporate branding and configure which information is shown.
• Dynamic content optimization:
Wayfinder X adjusts the information displayed based on workspace occupancy. For example, if there are many ongoing and upcoming meetings, the Events section will expand, and the Available section will shrink.
• Multi-language support:
Wayfinder supports multiple languages.
Requirements
- For each Wayfinder location, you will need:
- One Wayfinder license.
- One large display/monitor. If you want to book workspaces directly on the display, a touch screen is required.
- One professional grade Android Media player – we recommend the IAdea XMP-8552.
- All rooms and desks need an active license to be shown on the Wayfinder.
- Since the Wayfinder is an add-on to our room and/or desk booking solutions, these need to be configured before the Wayfinder is set up. The following guides explain how to do this:
Software installation guide
- Connect the display + media player using a high-quality HDMI cable.
- Power the media player using a power adapter or a PoE network cable.
- Connect the media player to a wired LAN network (or PoE) - recommended.
- If wired LAN is unavailable, connect to a stable Wi-Fi with strong signal strength.
