Lack of available conference rooms and projected high costs associated with leasing another floor.
Cost avoidance of $50K/month. Eliminated 4,160 hours of ghosted meetings.
BCG faced a growing space availability challenge at its Hudson Yards office. Consultants complained about a lack of available conference rooms, and the workplace team was considering leasing another floor to accommodate more meeting spaces.
BCG addressed its space availability challenge by reconciling its space booking data with data from VergeSense area sensors. They discovered that a significant portion of booked conference room hours were unused, leading to inefficiencies and a perception of a lack of available conference rooms. By implementing VergeSense Space Booking Automation, they were able to free up more available conference rooms and avoid a costly expansion.
40% of 10,400 booked hours were "ghosted," with attendees not updating reservations.
Reconciled booking data with actual usage data from VergeSense area sensors.
Automated the release of booked rooms when attendees didn't show.
Avoided an estimated $50K per month in additional leasing costs.
