# Smart Space Utilization

Real estate is typically the second-largest expense for organizations after people. Yet studies consistently show that office space is utilized at 40-60% even when all employees are assigned desks, and post-pandemic hybrid work has dropped effective utilization to 20-30% in many organizations. AI transforms space management by revealing actual usage patterns and enabling dynamic allocation.

Measuring What Actually Happens

The gap between assumed and actual space utilization is enormous. A 500-seat office might show 100% allocation on the floor plan while badge data reveals that only 180 people are in the building on an average day, and occupancy sensors show that meeting rooms are booked 80% of the time but occupied only 45%.
