The 2025 Enterprise Occupancy Tracking Report 22 Copyright © 2025 Tango. All rights reserved. 01 No firm reported that they were "very mature" in regard to occupancy tracking Despite nearly a third of respondents (29%) indicating that they use sensors to track occupancy in addition to another occupancy tracking technology, none of our respondents estimated that their firm was very mature in their understanding of and investment in occupancy tracking. This question was certainly subjective, but bb the descriptions of each option included specific criteria for maturity, and no one felt that their firm met this criteria for "very mature." They're not using the technology in ways one would expect from companies with more maturity in this area, despite many of them having some of the more advanced occupancy tracking technologies available. 02 Most enterprises have a narrow view of occupancy tracking Occupancy data can serve a range of purposes for employers, but most firms still see it as primarily a solution for space optimization. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of respondents described their organizations as "fairly mature," meaning that they don't invest in occupancy tracking beyond space optimization. The remaining respondents estimated that their firm's maturity in regard to occupancy tracking was lower. In the study's first question about real estate priorities, space optimization would have fallen under the priority of "optimizing building operations," which received a much lower average priority ranking than "cost savings," "occupant experience," and "decarbonization." Nearly half of the respondents (48%) gave it the second lowest ranking. Question five asked respondents to choose an occupancy tracking use case that had the most alignment with their business needs, and just 17% chose space optimization, giving it the fifth largest vvvvvvv percentile out of the possible use cases. Enterprises are not using occupancy tracking for the use cases they find most beneficial, and not because they lack the technology. In fact, the only firm using four distinct occupancy tracking solutions considered themselves "not particularly mature." And more than half of the firms that considered themselves "fairly mature" (63%) had two occupancy tracking solutions in place. This tracks with one of the main challenges Tango's workplace experts see companies running into: they aren't sure how to operationalize their occupancy data and leverage it for these other benefits. The answer is not found in more data. It's found in getting more insights from the data that's already being collected. Which is why the next question explores how enterprises are integrating their occupancy data.
