Problem
Many organizations lack comprehensive, real-time data on how their office spaces are actually used, leading to inefficient space allocation and increased real estate costs. Traditional methods of assessing workplace utilization, such as manual surveys or badge swipes, provide incomplete or delayed insights. This makes it difficult to optimize hybrid work environments, reduce carbon footprint, and create engaging workplaces.
Solution
XY Sense offers a sensor-based platform that delivers real-time, privacy-preserving data on workplace occupancy and utilization. The platform uses a network of area, entry, and presence sensors to monitor desk and office space utilization, meeting room occupancy, and overall space dynamics. The Insights Platform provides actionable analytics, enabling organizations to optimize space allocation, reduce real estate costs, and improve workplace experience. By integrating air quality data, the platform also helps organizations meet building sustainability goals.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes workplace teams, real estate professionals, and facilities managers seeking to optimize office space, reduce costs, and improve the employee experience in hybrid work environments.
