Office capacity is often based on legacy assumptions
Hybrid work changes attendance patterns, but many organizations still manage space with outdated occupancy expectations.
Use case
Use office space more efficiently without losing flexibility
Seatsurfing helps organizations understand how desks, rooms, and other office resources are used so they can optimize layouts, capacity, and workplace costs.
- Measure booking demand across desks, rooms, and parking spaces.
- Identify underused areas and high-demand zones.
- Support hybrid workplace planning with real data instead of assumptions.
Why teams look for this
Common challenges behind this use case
Underused areas remain hidden
Without booking data, it is difficult to see which desks, rooms, and floors are actually adding value.
Optimization decisions need evidence
Real estate, facility, and workplace leaders need usage insights before changing layouts, reducing space, or expanding shared areas.
