Embrava have been ahead of their time providing many businesses with busy lights before the craze had truly hit the world. Not only are their products of high quality, they are also incredibly easy to use ad come in a range of different variants. Nothing is more time consuming that setting up a new gadget in the office and trying to teach everyone how it works. If it takes an extended period of time to learn how to use the busy light it kind of negates the purpose of the product in the first place.

To counteract this common workplace mishap Embrava have made their products very easy to install and use. All you have to do is install the software that they provide and plug the device into your computer. The device will recognise their own software as well as other web based meeting platforms. Skype is a common tool that is used in the growing modern workspace and from such you want to ensure that you have the right tools to keep productivity levels high. Embravaā€™s busy lights are able to sync with your Skype settings and display the colour that matches what you are doing. No longer do you have to set them manually while you are on a call!

Additionally their products are also constantly being updated to ensure that they keep up with growing inline businesses. Microsoft Teams is a new we based meeting platform that a lot of companies have started to merge into their operations. Embrava were one of the first companies to update all of their software to allow for the integration of the new platform. In doing so they were able to save their current customers a lot of money by not phasing out their previous products at all.

Different office plans call for different productivity devices. What might work for a large open plan office wonā€™t work for a cubicle based one. Embrava know that not all workspaces are the same and have designed several different products to ensure that there is a busy light that will suit your company. For normal offices with desks there are the traditional status lights as well as the premium variant that notifies you when you are receiving a call. If you have an open plan styled office there are also the mini variants that are able to attach onto computer monitors and laptops. Embrava has headset variants as well as name plates and power sockets. All of their products are fully integratable with all operating systems and web based meeting platforms.

The customer service team at Embrava is another factor that has earned them the number one spot on this list. Their staff that they have on hand are eager to help you with any questions or queries that you may have with the products and software. Dealing with issues is their specialty and are able to walk you through all the processes in an easy to follow and in a non-condescending manner.
