Optimize Your Office Real Estate with Indoorology

The purpose of the office has evolved. Has your physical space evolved with it?

Remote and hybrid working arrangements are here to stay. Companies everywhere are trying to manage their real estate footprints in ways that balance budgets and support employee satisfaction. But few have true insight into how offices are being used or how employees work and feel in that space. As a result, many organizations just don't know what changes to make for the better, so they guess.

InnerSpace removes the guesswork from workspace strategies with Indoorology – a term we've coined to define our rigorous approach to the analysis of indoor behavior patterns.

Indoorology is the data-driven study of real human behaviors in the work environment

Like other sciences, Indoorology replaces what we feel with what we know based on objective data and repeatable processes. To help us understand our interaction with indoor spaces, Indoorology considers three critical components:

Featured

Problem

The What

Companies pursuing the interconnected goals of rationalizing real estate, saving costs, attracting talent, improving productivity, increasing morale, and rebuilding culture.

Place

The Where

Ground zero for these problems can be found inside every office's configuration, by its resources, its purpose, and its feel.

People

The Who

Employees, your greatest asset, who use the space and drive business opportunities, and growth.

From an impressive array of data points, InnerSpace offers reliable insights

Powered by Wi-Fi, InnerSpace’s spatial intelligence platform can anonymously follow any visitor’s smart devices or asset tags as they move about. This always-on supply of data provides objective, accurate data that replaces what we might think or feel, with what we truly know.

Unlike other solutions that do little more than people counting, InnerSpace’s rich insights collects and analyzes your indoor space to generate space utilization metrics that answer:

What specific zones are busiest, when
Which spaces are underused
How often employees visit & for how long
How people use each floor, zone, area
How different departments prefer to work

By carefully measuring the tendencies of work teams onsite, we can enable confident decision-making about:

The quantity and scale of meeting rooms needed
How to customize work environments for each team
How to measure the impact of planning decisions

Discover how real human behavior should guide your real estate decisions

Developed in consultation with sociologists and real estate experts, the Indoorology approach not only provides more accurate data to determine optimal office size, it’s able to identify the design features companies should invest in to enhance the employee experience.
