Hybrid work has changed how office buildings are used. Some days the building is full, other days whole floors stand empty, and yet heating, cleaning and services often run as if every day were the same. Office occupancy analytics with people counting shows how the building is really used, so costs can follow actual use.
WELLPOINT people counting technology counts entries and exits at the entrances you choose and shows the results in WELLPOINT.cloud.
Understanding Building Use with Office Occupancy Analytics
Counters at the building entrances show how many people come in each day and at what time. Counters at the entrance of a floor or wing show the same for that part of the building, as long as everyone passes a counted door. On PLUS and PRO the data is real-time, with data updates every 5 minutes; LITE updates hourly.
After a few weeks the pattern is clear: perhaps Tuesday to Thursday are busy, Monday and Friday are half empty, and the second building of the campus is used far less than the first. That is the kind of insight that changes decisions about space.
The current occupancy, entries minus exits based on the latest synchronized counts, is available in any browser with the occupancy monitoring view.
Improving Efficiency and Resource Management
Building costs follow the calendar, not the occupancy, unless someone gives facility managers the numbers. With measured daily occupancy, cleaning can be scheduled more intensively on busy days and reduced on quiet ones. Facility teams can use the same history to decide on heating, lighting and ventilation schedules for floors or buildings that are rarely full.
For companies with several offices, all sites sit in one account. Comparing them shows which locations are well used and which might be consolidated when a lease comes up. With CSV export on PLUS and PRO, the figures go straight into facility reports.
Privacy-First Workplace Analytics
Employees are understandably sensitive about being counted at work. A camera-free counter makes that conversation simple: the Pulse V3 does not capture images or identify visitors. Only anonymous entry and exit counts are transmitted from the counter. It is easy to explain to your data protection officer and employee representatives, and it is GDPR-friendly by design; full GDPR compliance also depends on the specific data-processing context.
Building Smarter Workplaces
Every decision about office space is easier with real occupancy data. The WELLPOINT People Counter (Pulse V3) is mounted beside an entrance at 1.2 to 1.4 m, runs on a 5 V USB power adapter and uses built-in mobile data, so the IT team has nothing to set up. Order it on visitorcount.com.
