agencies to overestimate required space. The
room, workstation, or amenity appears
"reserved" in the system, making it unavailable
to anyone else, but the space sits unoccupied
for the duration. If you're trying to reduce the
footprint, these "no-show reservations" skew
your data and make reservable spaces appear
better utilized than they actually are. And if
your agency is working to freeze the footprint,
this problem could significantly inhibit
employees' access to the resources they need
to work.
Lean Government
Not all desk booking software has a solution for
no-show reservations. But Tango Reserve lets
you require check-ins for reservations, and if
someone doesn't sign-in from the reserved
space within a window you specify, the space
becomes reservable again. This both helps
eliminate the illusion of overutilization and
enables agencies to get more use out of the
space they have.

Modernize office optimization with occupancy analytics
Understanding your agency's occupancy and
space utilization doesn't necessarily require
complex sensor systems. In fact, in an
occupancy tracking study we conducted with
Verdantix in late 2024, most major enterprises
were only tracking occupancy with badge
scanning and/or reservation data—and that
was enough for them to track utilization and
manage their space.
What agencies do need, however, is a system
that can intake whatever occupancy data
they have and surface it in actionable ways.
At Tango, we know every agency has their own
processes for understanding occupancy and
utilization, so we built Tango Space, our space
management and occupancy analytics solution,
to be data-agnostic. Whether you use badges,
reservations, sensors, network access, manual
walkthroughs, or another source, Tango Space
can incorporate that data in convenient
dashboards to help you analyze trends, identify
anomalies, and recognize patterns in your
space utilization.
Using Tango Space as your single source of
truth for occupancy, you can track and
evaluate how changes in policy or office
configuration impact utilization, and ensure
you're equipped to handle peak demand. And
since Tango Space merges occupancy
analytics and space management, you can
easily transition from analyzing how your space
is being used now to planning how it can be
used best.
