FOR FACILITIES & WORKPLACE

Occupancy and estate data that facilities can act on.

Desk, room and campus utilisation joined to booking and soft services — not a sensor vanity map. Privacy-aware and vendor-neutral.

Agreement beats sensors

The KPI is agreement between presence and reservation systems. Ghost occupancy destroys soft-services planning.

See space & occupancy.

Right radio for the floorplate

Open plan, meeting rooms and labs need different sensing. We pick for the building you have — not a catalogue demo.

Privacy by default

Prefer anonymised counts unless a named use case demands identity. DPOs and works councils are stakeholders from week one.

Typical first ninety days

Week 1–2: agree KPIs with FM and soft services. Week 3–6: pilot one floorplate with booking-system agreement as the headline metric. Week 7–12: decide scale, retention, and whether visitor wayfinding stays separate. Hardware choice follows the building you have — open plan, labs and meeting rooms need different sensing.

KPIs facilities can run the estate on

Peak and trough occupancy by floorplate, agreement between sensors and booking systems, soft-services load that tracks reality, and meeting-room honesty without a vanity map. Average occupancy lies — we design for the days that break your cleaning and catering model.

Integration into the IWMS you already run beats inventing a parallel estate stack. See space & occupancy.

Privacy and change on the floor

Prefer anonymised counts unless a named use case demands identity. DPOs and works councils are in the room early. Wayfinding for visitors stays separable from staff analytics unless governance explicitly allows one stack.

Pilots live on one wing or floor with soft-services owners at the table — not a sensor demo that never reaches the FM operating rhythm.

Case studies on this site are composite worked examples unless an NDA reference is shown. Named references are available under NDA.

What soft services actually need

Cleaning, catering and security plan on peaks and troughs, not averages. We design occupancy programmes so soft-services owners get exception queues they can act on — ghost bookings, chronically empty neighbourhoods, rooms that never release.

Success is agreement between presence and reservation systems within an agreed tolerance, sustained for twelve weeks after go-live — not a colourful heatmap in week one.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will this replace our IWMS?

Usually it feeds it. We integrate rather than invent a parallel estate system.

Hybrid work?

Design for peak and trough days — average occupancy lies.

Visitor wayfinding?

Separate visitor journeys from staff analytics unless governance allows one stack.
