How it works

Space & occupancy optimisation: how it works, and what it pays back.

The right radio for the job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.

1 · Sense

Anonymised occupancy sensors and BLE report desk, room and zone use, live.

2 · Analyse

Real utilisation, peak times and ghost bookings emerge across the estate.

3 · Right-size

Consolidate floors, fix room ratios and design hybrid space around real demand.

Vendor-neutral

Which technology actually fits.

We have no hardware to sell, so the recommendation serves your outcome — not a price book.

BLE

Low-cost occupancy sensing.

UWB

Asset & wayfinding precision.

Analytics

Utilisation insight.

Where it pays back

Industries this solution suits

In practice

Right-size the estate on real demand.

An employer uses anonymised sensors to measure real desk and room use. Ghost bookings and half-empty floors emerge, two floors consolidate into one, and hybrid space is designed on evidence — not a one-off survey.

Typically bought by: Corporate real estate, facilities, workplace experience, finance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can occupancy data tell us?

How desks, rooms, zones and equipment are actually used versus assumed - peak occupancy, utilisation, and which spaces are wasted or oversubscribed.

Is it sensors, RTLS, or both?

Anonymous occupancy sensors answer 'is this space used'; RTLS adds 'by what or whom and for how long' where needed. We pick the least-intrusive option that answers your question.

How do you handle privacy?

Most workplace occupancy is measured anonymously at the space level, with clear governance - you get utilisation insight without tracking individuals.

How does it integrate with our building or booking systems?

Data feeds your IWMS, room-booking and BMS so spaces can be released, cleaned on use, and right-sized on evidence.

What is the business case?

Real estate is usually the second-largest cost after people - even a modest reduction in wasted space, or deferring a fit-out, pays for the system many times over.
