Uses for our PeopleCounter System

While PeopleCounter is used primarily for tracking occupancy and measuring actual utilisation of space, there are numerous other ways that organisations are leveraging this innovative technology.  From identifying the duration of occupancy, to tracking average occupancy rates, to measuring the maximum number of people who use a particular space over a certain period of time, the benefits of PeopleCounter are almost limitless.

Actual vs. Planned Utilisation

PeopleCounter gives you the ability to track the actual utilisation of a room or workspace versus its planned utilisation. Often rooms are booked but are never actually used or not utilised to their full capacity. PeopleCounter gives you a better understanding of what resources are being under-utilised, which you can use to better manage your resources and even reduce your carbon footprint.

By measuring the actual versus planned space utilisation, you can:

• Maximise use of available rooms and resources using accurate utilisation information
• Prevent unnecessary real estate expansion
• Reduce energy expenses
• Decrease costs of caretaking, maintenance and other services

Average & Maximum Occupancy

Another way to leverage PeopleCounter is to measure and analyse the average and maximum occupancy of a room or workspace.  By leveraging this type of business intelligence data, you will not only be able to schedule resources more efficiently, but also repurpose existing space to make it more effective for your work environment

Other benefits of leveraging space occupancy information include:

• Discover how often spaces are being used to make informed real estate decisions
• Use occupancy data to develop more effective uses of space
• Track no-show rates of scheduled workspace to implement reservation policies

The need to track occupancy information and actual space utilisation varies from one organisation to another but the goal is the same: to maximise the return on the investment you have made in your corporate real estate.  Whether you want to plan for future real estate expansion, maximise how your space is being used, or reconfigure space you already own to better align with your changing space allocation needs, PeopleCounter provides the information you need to make educated real estate decisions that can result in substantial cost savings.
