You start off with carefully-made space planning, but typical churn and growth and consolidation turns those perfect allocations into Swiss cheese: 20 or so unused desk on one floor, about 15 unused desks on the next floor, and an unknown number of under-used desks on the multi-department floor. All that Swiss cheese of unused desks is costing hundreds or thousands a year… per floor.

When you go to a department or a business unit to say “we can eliminate 20 desks in your area because they aren’t being used,” all you normally get is push back. Profit centers believe they are using 100% of their space and, instead of cutting back, they think they need more. Without accurate, believable data about their actual environment, any talk of desk space reduction is going nowhere.

If this sounds like your situation, what you need is Actual Use of Space data. Armed with reports which show exactly how many desks, in their actual space, are really being used each day, you’ll have the credibility and real data you need to convince the business units. You’ll be able to trim those unused desk expenses and reach the organization’s cost management goals.

Just important, with Actual Use of Space data and the right number of desks allocated, assigned and in use, each department and line of business will enjoy greater margins. Your space data is now a powerful tool for cutting costs, improving sustainability and increasing margins. You’ll be a hero.
