# A smarter corporate real estate strategy backed by data that delivers

![future-proofwebp](https://innerspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/future-proofwebp.webp?width=760&height=718&name=future-proofwebp.webp)

##### Right-size every square foot per employee

InnerSpace provides space utilization data that can help business leaders determine performance metrics, establish a baseline and set targets. Use what you learn over time from our always-on, WiFi-based platform to right-size and optimize your office for maximum ROI.

As a workplace leader, you need to know if your space is working. Do you have the right amount of office space? Are employees using it effectively? Are meeting rooms, shared spaces, and floorplans supporting comfort, collaboration, and productivity? InnerSpace gives you the data to answer these questions - clearly and confidently.

![right-size](https://innerspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/right-size.jpg?width=2000&height=1056&name=right-size.jpg "right-size")

### No two teams use space the same way

**InnerSpace technology** can identify unique behavioral patterns within the **space utilization data** it collects, showing which teams are using what resources over time.

Employee productivity shows up differently from team to team. For example, some teams will come in more often to work noisily together in communal spaces, while others may choose a quiet room to work independently together.

Understanding exactly how your employees use space can influence decisions about team placement, the viability of hoteling over private offices or dedicated desks, and overall resource allocation.

## Does a lease renewal have you trying to predict the future of work?

![daily-attendance](https://innerspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/daily-attendance.jpg?width=1320&height=1005&name=daily-attendance.jpg)

##### It used to be easier to plan for office space needs.

As a general rule: Future growth targets meant more rooms, new office space builds, and new locations. Efficiency targets indicated a reduction in square footage requirements, an increase in average density, and reallocation of existing resources.

Today’s companies are uncertain whether to sign on to lease the **same amount of space, less space, or more space**. They just don’t know how much square footage they need or what lease length they should commit to.

With remote and **hybrid work** styles, employee growth may not necessarily translate to a need for more office space. Nor does planned contraction offer certainty about dropping square footage.

Companies are guessing. And **guessing can have expensive outcomes**.

## Get a handle on your office ROI with InnerSpace metrics

##### Portfolio optimization

Get the data to influence flexible, versatile, usable spaces that boost productivity, and enable teams to operate efficiently – within the existing square footage.

![resource-utilization](https://innerspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/resource-utilization.jpg?width=1320&height=1005&name=resource-utilization.jpg)

##### Resource utilization

Learn whether meeting rooms, private offices or break areas are fully utilized, or whether the space can be redeployed to new purposes.

![employee-desk-ratio](https://innerspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/employee-desk-ratio.jpg?width=1320&height=1005&name=employee-desk-ratio.jpg)

##### Employee : desk ratio

Analyze work team behaviors to learn how they use their space each hour, day, week and month to drive more effective colocation and resource allocation strategies.

### There has never been a greater need for space utilization data

When it comes to predicting office requirements, the future is uncertain and the past offers little to go on. Pre-pandemic, almost no one was measuring office performance such as the impact of layout on efficiency, or space-per-employee allocations on productivity. Yet with the onset of widespread hybrid and remote work models, these are now highly desired metrics.

**Real estate isn’t cheap**. Remove the guesswork from your office real estate strategy with InnerSpace.
