The Project

Data is key to achieving success. And while many players understand the importance of data, few are able to gather and harness it effectively. How do you accurately predict fluctuations in office attendance ? And how do you gain insights from the massive amounts of data gathered?

Our client was looking for accurate data to help them make informed decisions to optimise their space, allocate resources and gain transparency.

Data makes a difference. By analysing attendance with AI, offices can optimise resources, implement efficient workforce mobility programs and design truly flexible workplaces.

What We Did

Existing office cameras and AI-powered units for tangible insights on real-time attendance

We deployed two Gaia AI units on existing cameras to capture the camera feeds and gather anonymous, simple people counting data. This data was sent to Gaia's cloud-based platform that was trained to provide real-time traffic analysis. The platform is also able to predict patterns based on observed behaviour.

The Impact

Bringing clarity to decision-making and predicting patterns for the future

By accurately measuring daily, weekly and monthly attendance, businesses have the ability to create a productive workplace that encourages communication and increases employees' wellbeing, while providing flexibility and improving ROI on office spaces.

Analytics give operators the ability to right-size office spaces, forecast future demands and measure the success of designed workplaces. Our Office Attendance service allows managers to monitor occupancy for safety measures, anticipate growth/contraction, plan on-demand cleaning and maintenance, implement energy saving, and more.

AI-assisted workplace management has the potential to completely transform the traditional office experience through data-driven optimization, automation and enhanced efficiency.

  • 96% accuracy in real-time office attendance
  • Reduced total office space size by 30% while creating a more productive working environment
  • Implemented hot desking system and flexible working program eliminating over 40% of assigned desks
  • Significantly reduced rental cost
  • Gained full transparency on daily attendance and leveraged the insights to improve corporate mobility program
  • Implemented more effective cleaning procedures based on real-time occupancy levels and improved employee's safety and wellbeing
