Avoided $13M annually in expansion costs by implementing amenities changes.
The workplace team at a biotechnology company wanted to understand the impact of their unassigned seating policy on space utilization in their San Francisco headquarters. Traditional methods like manual surveys were insufficient for understanding the actual usage of their spaces, prompting them to seek a more effective solution.
The company deployed VergeSense to capture space utilization data and trends, including person count, active occupancy, and passive occupancy. This approach revealed that many areas were being inefficiently used, primarily occupied “passively” by personal items rather than employees. In response, they created designated areas for personal belongings, which increased workspace availability.
This strategic adjustment not only improved space utilization but also significantly reduced the perceived need for real estate expansion, leading to substantial cost savings.
