Basking & Colliers: real-time occupancy analytics for occupiers worldwide
Occupancy Data drives Workplace Management Excellence
Transition to flexible workplace and portfolio optimization opportunities are top of mind for real estate managers, whose responsibilities are to make sure that employees always have a comfortable and productive workplace environment.
Managing occupancy proactively to avoid overcrowding, and maximize space utilization pays back extremely well and real-time occupancy analytics is an essential tool in this process. Deloitte estimates that “a switch to “flex office” (with unallocated workstations, fewer than the number of employees), with a rate of 30 to 50%, can save up to 40% of space, crystalizing material savings (e.g. rent, charges, taxes, CAPEX, and OPEX)”.
The challenge is that deploying a sensor-based solution across multiple offices can be a daunting task. Occupancy sensors and gateways have traditionally been expensive to deploy, and can potentially create issues that would keep Data Privacy Officers (DPOs) and Information Security Officers (CISOs) awake at night.
