Clebex

Based on Clebex’s official documentation and setup guides, a typical implementation follows these phases:

1. Planning & Scoping
   Define required modules—resource types (rooms, desks, parking), visitor workflows, IoT sensor usage, calendar integrations, and identity management. Decide on self-hosted (on-premises/Azure) vs. SaaS deployment.

2. Environment Setup
   Deploy the Clebex platform on your chosen infrastructure. If using Azure, configure components such as Azure AD, SCIM provisioning, and necessary connectors.

3. Identity & Access Integration
   Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) and SCIM with Azure AD via Clebex’s “SSO & SCIM” interface:
   • Activate the Azure SCIM connector in Clebex Hub
   • Copy URL & token
   • Add Clebex as an Enterprise Application in Azure AD

   • Configure Just-In-Time provisioning/scoping; complete SSO test using a sample user.

4. Resource Configuration
   Set up booking objects: rooms, desks, lockers, parking, linked resources (e.g., desk+parking), visitor check-in, QR-code access, and sensor integrations.

5. Calendar & Hardware Integration
   Enable two-way integration with Outlook and Google Calendar; configure physical interfaces such as IAdea booking displays and LE D/sensor devices.

6. Advanced Rules & Permissions
   Define roles, access levels, booking policies, overflow rules, and high-granularity controls across resources.

7. Analytics & Reporting Configuration
   Set up built-in dashboards, heatmaps, export center, and business intelligence integration via API or Power BI connectors.

8. Testing & Validation
   Conduct end-to-end tests: user provisioning, SSO login, booking flows, hardware interaction, notifications, and analytics dashboards.

9. Training & Rollout
   Conduct administrative and user training sessions, provide documentation, and go live in phases.

Estimated Timeline

• Small setups (1–2 modules, up to 50 users): 2–4 weeks.
• Medium implementations (multi-site, mixed resources, sensor integration): 4–8 weeks.
• Enterprise rollouts (complex workflows, global deployment): 8–12 weeks, depending on hardware delivery and change management cycles.

Clebex offers extensive customization capabilities to tailor the platform to unique organizational requirements:

• Modular Resource Types: Define custom resource categories—meeting rooms, hot desks, parking, lockers, equipment rentals, etc.—with linked resource logic (e.g., auto-book desk + parking).

• Advanced Booking Policies: Enforce granular rules for bookings—time windows, user roles, external calendar overrides, one-click reservations, overflow handling.

• High-Granularity Permissions: Implement role-based access—by resource, time, location—for admins, managers, or external service providers.

• Multilingual Interface Support: Out-of-the-box support for over 40 languages; ability to request additional localizations.

• Identity Connections & Automated Provisioning: Integrate with Azure AD or other identity providers using SSO, SCIM, Just-In-Time provisioning, and scoped user sync.

• IoT & Hardware Integration: Connect occupancy sensors, people-counters, parking LEDs, door access controls, and kiosks (IAdea) via flexible API hooks.

• Interactive Digital Maps: Use 5D map interfaces with live resource availability and booking controls—customizable for layouts and branding.

• Visitor Management & QR Access: Self-registration, badge printing, custom access controls via temporary QR codes.

• Custom Reporting & BI Integration: Export data via CSV, API or collaborate with Power BI connectors; design dashboards suitable for space planning or compliance.

• Contract & Service Workflow Management: Customize facility management workflows with contract reminders, maintenance ticketing, and integration with external service providers.

• Cloud or On-Prem Hosting: Choose SaaS mode or self-hosted on Azure/own servers, depending on security and data residency needs.

• Linked Engine for Resource Dependencies: Configure dependent or grouped resources so bookings stay synchronized (e.g., multi-room setups).

Clebex provides a comprehensive support experience:

• Help Desk & Ticketing: Users can access support via email, online help desk (portal), and phone with 24/7 live rep availability, ensuring timely assistance.

• Documentation Library: Includes FAQs, knowledge base articles, and step-by-step guides (e.g., Azure AD provisioning, SCIM, SSO).

• Training Formats: Offers multiple learning formats such as online webinars, video tutorials, and in-person or live online training sessions.

• Dedicated Support Center: Structured portal for ticket submission and community engagement.

This combination of reactive (help desk, phone) and proactive (documentation, webinars, live training) support ensures users are well-equipped to deploy and manage Clebex effectively.

Clebex demonstrates a strong commitment to data protection via:

• Data Ownership & Privacy Controls: Customers retain full rights to their personal data, with the ability to access, correct, delete, or object to processing.

• Technical Safeguards: Implements “suitable precautions” to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, destruction, or corruption of data.

• Infrastructure Isolation: Runs on a unique distributed database within a customer’s LAN, without reliance on public cloud storage, ensuring localized data retention.

• Encrypted QR Access: Secure QR-code technology facilitates controlled access to facilities, enhancing physical security compliance.

Clebex’s Privacy Policy clearly outlines:

• Customer Data Control: Users retain full rights to access, correct, or delete their personal data, and can submit formal data requests at any time.

• Customer Ownership of Processes: While service provider access exists, data ownership remains entirely with the customer organization.

• Data Export Options: Through Export Center, API access, and integrations like Power BI, administrators can extract and migrate data as needed, facilitating seamless portability between systems.

• Infrastructure Transparency: Although hosted in Azure, data processing remains isolated per customer, enabling control over where and how data is stored.

In essence, Clebex ensures full ownership, editability, deletion rights, and structured exportability of customer data.

Clebex’s usage model and hybrid workspace messaging; their subscription is month-to-month, built on resource-based licensing rather than fixed user counts. Key aspects include:

• Flexible license interchange: You pay only for resources (rooms, desks, etc.) actively used. You can freely replace or reassign licenses (e.g., switch desks for rooms) without additional paperwork or fees.

• Adjustable renewals: Licenses can be added or removed monthly—allowing renewals or cancellations to align with evolving workspace needs. There’s no long-term lock-in, and you only pay for what you use each month.

• No mandatory long-term contracts: Their approach states, “signing long-term contracts no longer makes sense.” Renewal is optional and usage-responsive, without penalty.

• No setup or exit fees: Since licensing is usage-based and managed monthly, there are unlikely setup, termination, or early-exit costs. Changes can be made seamlessly at the beginning of any month.
