Workplace analytics

Workplace analytics software for confident estate decisions

Matrix Booking’s workplace analytics software gives you a complete picture of how your buildings and resources are actually being used, past, present, and future.

It’s the data layer that turns occupancy information into confident estate decisions, from day-to-day space optimisation to long-term lease and investment planning.

Past, present and future space usage insights

Most organisations can tell you what was booked. Fewer can tell you what was actually used. Matrix Booking combines booking data, check-in data, and occupancy sensor data to give you the full picture, not just intent, but reality.

See what’s happening right now: who’s in the building, how close to capacity you are, and whether environmental conditions are within safe limits.

Understand what’s coming: what bookings have been made, when demand will peak, and when you’re likely to need more or less floorspace. And review what happened historically to spot trends and patterns across your estate.

Understand space utilisation with detailed workplace analytics

Matrix Booking lets you interrogate your estate at every level, from portfolio-wide patterns down to individual floors, zones, and desks. Answer the questions that matter

  • Which buildings, floors, and zones are most popular?  
  • How do utilisation patterns vary across sites and resources?  
  • Which resource types are seeing the highest/lowest utilisation?  
  • How are different teams using your workspaces? 

Use that understanding to build an estate that reflects how your people actually work, not how you assumed they would.

Data-driven office space planning

Matrix Booking’s workplace analytics software gives you the evidence base for your most significant estate decisions:

  • Identify when and where you’ll need more resources or floorspace.
  • Optimise building ROI by reallocating areas to more-popular resource types.
  • Pinpoint savings by removing lightly used buildings and resources. 

Make tactical savings now

Beyond strategic decisions, workplace analytics data surfaces immediate operational savings:

  • Save on energy and cleaning costs by closing these areas at quiet times.
  • Use these periods for maintenance to avoid costlier weekend or evening rates.

Keep everyone safe and comfortable

Knowing who is in your buildings at any given moment is a health and safety requirement. Workplace analytics software helps to keep your employees and visitors safe by understanding what’s happening right now across your estates. 

Ensure your fire wardens always know who’s in the building, with digital visitor lists and optional access control integration. 

Integrate environmental sensors to remotely monitor temperature, humidity, pollutants, and other air quality measures, to ensure you’re meeting your health and safety requirements by providing safe and comfortable buildings. 

Encourage office attendance

When your estate reflects how people actually want to work, the right mix of desks, rooms, and collaborative spaces, office attendance takes care of itself.

Matrix Booking’s workplace analytics give you the data to build that environment, and to keep refining it as working patterns evolve.

“Data is everything to the civil service and we’re really going to be able to fully understand office utilisation going forward – especially with the shift to hybrid working and more collaborative space in our offices.”
