Facilities Management

You Are Paying for 85% Occupancy
Actual Utilization: 34%

Badge swipes say full. Sensor data says empty. Your CFO is paying for ghost space while your teams fight for meeting rooms.

The Facilities Data Disconnect

Your badge system reports high occupancy. Your utility bills suggest otherwise. The truth is in the space utilization data nobody is analyzing.

The Hidden Cost of Empty Desks

Every empty desk at $847/month is not just wasted rent. It is HVAC running for nobody, lighting burning for nobody, and cleaning crews servicing nobody. At 34% utilization, your facilities budget is 66% waste.
