Measure what matters. Decide what to do next.

Observe is a managed workplace measurement service combining appropriate sensors, analytics, infrastructure and continuous monitoring to provide reliable evidence for specific real estate decisions.

Measure desks, meeting rooms, zones, footfall and environmental conditions across a floor or portfolio. Sensors can be permanent, deployed for a defined study or rotated between locations, so you gather the evidence you need without investing in more hardware than the decision requires.

Observe provides the Measure stage of the MMT Framework: establish reliable evidence before testing options and committing to change.

Workplace measurement capabilities

Measure occupancy and movement

Understand how desks, rooms, zones and shared spaces are used, including attendance, people counts, footfall and movement patterns.

Organise evidence around your workplace

Analyse performance by building, floor, department, team, neighbourhood, space type or any structure relevant to the decision.

Analyse performance and compare

Identify average and peak demand, underused space, capacity constraints, historical change and differences across buildings or portfolios.

Add environmental context

Overlay occupancy with temperature, humidity, CO₂ and indoor air quality information where environmental evidence is relevant to the question.

Start with the decision, not the sensor

Successful workplace measurement begins by defining the decision, the evidence required, the appropriate level of granularity and how long measurement needs to continue.

We then select the appropriate sensor or combination of sensors for the space, question and budget. Our guide to choosing workplace sensors explains the measurement options.

Some locations benefit from permanent measurement. Others need a focused 3 month study or sensors rotated between sites as new questions arise. The objective is reliable decision evidence, not the maximum possible hardware deployment.

Our hardware, firmware and deployment expertise allows us to manage installation, connectivity, device monitoring, maintenance coordination and redeployment as one service.

From measurement to transformation

Observe, Tessellate and Orbit support each stage of the Measure, Model, Transform framework, from gathering workplace evidence to testing options and supporting change.

Measure

Gather the evidence needed to understand how the workplace performs.

Model

Test workplace options before committing to change.

Transform

Turn the selected option into a practical course of action.
