Logitech Sync. These capabilities take the burden off overwhelmed
IT teams who need to ensure the right meeting spaces are available
and functioning for employees at all times, while empowering IT

“While conference room complexity has grown, IT teams have not,”
said Henry Levak, VP of Product, Logitech B2B. “Think of Logitech
Sync as mission control for IT. An enterprise command center to
catch those 'Houston, we have a problem' moments and virtually
troubleshoot a Rally Bar 5,000 miles away.”
Room booking through a single dashboard
Introduced last year, Logitech’s existing desk booking solution
with Logi Dock Flex makes it simple for employees to find the right
spot near their colleagues in flex desking environments. Now,
Logitech’s new room booking software on Tap Scheduler mirrors the
same intuitive experience, helping to solve common conference room
booking conflicts, while also making it easy for IT to manage it
all through a single platform.
With this software, employees can book and claim rooms directly
through their existing calendaring app like Google Workspace and
Office 365 or directly on Logitech Tap Scheduler.
Automatic features adapt to common workplace
behaviors
If a booked room is not checked into within a set time, the room
is automatically released and available to others. For ad-hoc
meetings, users can spot available rooms through the LED status
lights on Tap Scheduler, or navigate to an available room from a
floor plan map on Tap Scheduler, Logi Tune app or on office
displays for wayfinding.
Later in an upcoming software update, AI Viewfinder presence
detector in Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini, currently used for
framing people, will be able to identify when an ad-hoc meeting is
in progress and automatically switch the room status to
occupied.
IT admins can customize room booking and release settings to
align with workplace policies. Later this year, they will be able
personalize the Tap Scheduler interface with custom wallpapers and
brand identity.
Better remote troubleshooting
Tens of thousands of companies use Logitech Sync to remotely
manage spaces and devices of their global workforces. Now, remote
capabilities take a big step forward with Remote UI Access with
Sync. Much like an IT team member can take virtual control of an
individuals’ desktop computer to troubleshoot firsthand, Remote UI
Access allows IT to “see” inside the conference room to
troubleshoot conference cameras, touch controllers and even the
scheduling panel–without setting foot inside the room. Logitech’s
strict privacy and security standards ensure that Sync does not
capture or store any sound, video, or static images from a meeting
room at any time.
Detailed analytics
From huddle rooms to boardrooms, Sync tracks patterns on room
usage (how often a room is used) and occupancy (how many people are
in a given room at one time) to take the guesswork out of which
rooms people favor. This usage and occupancy data–viewable only by
the customer’s IT admins–becomes a basis for precise decision
making on which underused spaces to reconfigure, or which
high-traffic spaces to duplicate.
Pricing and Availability
Sync Remote UI Access, room booking and map creation, and room
usage insights are features that expand Logitech Select for Rooms
comprehensive service plan for $399 per year. Select for Rooms
offers a combination of technical expertise with advanced software
to help companies manage their spaces.
These premium features are also included in Essential for
Rooms–a newly-created service offering that supplements customers’
and partner’s in-house IT expertise with advanced management and
analytics tools–for $199 per year. Room booking will be available
in late summer 2024. To join the open beta for room booking today,
