Q9: Is your occupancy data processed in real time?
At Tango, we've made the case for years that
real-time occupancy tracking is crucial to
effective workplace management. If
employers want to successfully balance the
supply and demand of workplace resources,
they need visibility into what's happening
moment-to-moment, so they can foresee
problems and mitigate them quickly. The
longer the intervals between data collection
and processing, the harder it is to accurately
understand your utilization.
The survey asked respondents about their
ability to process occupancy data in real-
time, with possible responses including:
We have real-time occupancy analytics in
place
We have a periodic report looking at
historical occupancy data
56%
36%
4%
4%
100% of firms with real-time tracking
capabilities had at least two
occupancy tracking technologies
One might assume that real-time occupancy
analytics is only possible when firms have
vast networks of space utilization sensors in
place. But the reality is that only one third of
respondents with real-time occupancy
tracking capabilities were using sensors. All of
them had badge data and reservation data,
and could process this data in real-time.
