What is Occupancy Analytics?

Occupancy analytics measures how people actually use space — presence, counts, movement, dwell — via sensors, badge data, or network signals, turned into utilization metrics. It replaces assumptions about how offices are used with evidence.

In practice

Hybrid work made this mainstream: workplace teams size portfolios, plan desk ratios, and justify redesigns from measured utilization rather than surveys. Privacy-preserving sensing (radar, thermal) is the differentiator among vendors.
