The Nightmare
Two divisions shared one building with no visibility into how either was using it. Desk utilisation sat at 15–22%. Meeting rooms built for 16 people were booked by 1 or 2. Shared areas operated below 20% occupancy. Every space decision ran on assumption - and assumptions were burning through budget month after month.
In Their Words
We had two teams, one building, and no idea how either was actually using the space. D-XPERT broke it down by team, by room, by day — and told us exactly where the money was going. For the first time, we had something we could actually act on.

The DIREK Fix
DIREK deployed SpaceLens sensors across 80 desks and 7 meeting rooms, with every data point processed in D-XPERT™ to produce decision-grade recommendations — broken down by space type, time of day, and division.
1. Desk consolidation at 46–50%
Confirmed safe - peak demand never exceeded reduced supply across either division
2. Meeting rooms right-sized
Oversized rooms split and reallocated to match the 1–2 person majority of bookings
3. Shared areas rebalanced
Away from sub-20% zones into higher-demand spaces
4. Cleaning, HVAC, and security schedules
Rebuilt on real occupancy data — not fixed rotas
5. Division-level reporting
Established, enabling separate governance tracks and portfolio-wide benchmarking
