How to optimize desks and meeting rooms using real data: the Hybo + Foot Analytics case

Hybo + Foot Analytics

DATA-DRIVEN WORKSPACES

Discover how to optimize desks and rooms with real occupancy data and smart reservations

Hybo and Foot Analytics show you how to transform your office into a truly efficient, automated environment designed for hybrid work. Thanks to this partnership, companies can access real insights about space utilization, eliminating assumptions and improving decision-making.

What is Foot Analytics and what does it bring to space management?

Foot Analytics is a sensor-based technology solution that anonymously detects the presence of people at desks, meeting rooms, and shared spaces.
These sensors do not require any action from the user: they collect real-time occupancy data while ensuring privacy and without using cameras.

This enables organizations to understand how spaces are actually being used — beyond what reservations indicate.

Why integrate real data with a booking system like Hybo?

While platforms like Hybo allow employees to easily reserve desks and rooms, a reservation does not guarantee that the workspace is used.
Many companies detect a high no-show rate (unused bookings), which leads to inefficient planning.

Thanks to the integration with Foot Analytics, Hybo can automatically validate whether a reservation has been occupied, generating key metrics such as:
• Attendance rate
• Underutilized spaces
• Overcrowded zones
• Peak usage hours

This turns the booking system into a strategic analytics tool for decision-making.

What are the benefits for HR, Facility and IT teams?

Each department gains specific advantages:

HR
• Better employee experience and efficiency in hybrid work
• Data-driven justification for workspace changes

Facility Management
• Objective insights to reduce cleaning, maintenance, and HVAC costs in unused areas

IT
• A scalable and secure solution
• No need for user check-ins or additional apps

What kind of information does this solution provide?

Hybo’s dashboard, enhanced with Foot Analytics data, enables access to:

• Real occupancy ratio per day, week or month
• Comparison between reserved and actual usage
• Peak usage times by zone or floor
• Heatmaps and density maps
• Inactive or underutilized areas
• Priority areas for redistribution

All from the same Hybo interface — no need to switch between platforms.

Are there real success stories proving its effectiveness?

Yes. During the interview, specific cases were shared:

• One company discovered that 50% of reservations were not actually used, allowing them to reduce rented space and save costs.
• Others redesigned underused areas to create collaboration spaces, phone booths or relaxation areas — improving employee experience without adding square meters.

What does it feel like from the end-user perspective?

Nothing changes for the employee. They keep booking through Hybo as usual.

The difference lies in how the system learns, analyzes, and adapts automatically:

• If an area is frequently empty, its usage can be reconsidered
• If high occupancy is detected at certain times, new options can be suggested

Everything happens without friction for the employee.

What are the sustainability and efficiency advantages?

Data-driven space management enables:

• Reduced HVAC use in empty rooms
• Lower energy consumption
• Cleaning planning according to actual use
• Increased building efficiency
• Contribution to company sustainability goals

Additionally, this solution supports LEED and BREEAM certifications, improving environmental responsibility performance.

What makes this joint solution unique compared to others?

Unlike other options, this integration offers:

• Occupancy insights that do NOT depend on user behavior
• Continuous real data — no manual check-ins
• Scalability and modular adoption
• Centralized management from a single platform

This approach allows organizations to evolve into smart offices without forcing changes to current working habits.

What’s next for this partnership?

Upcoming enhancements include:

• Real-time heatmaps
• Advanced analytics by user profiles and zones
• Customized dashboards per role (HR, IT, Facility)
• Integration with maintenance and Smart Building systems

The goal is to automate decisions, reduce friction, and fully personalize workspace management.
