floorsense integrates intelligent desk hardware with robust software and analytics to streamline workplace management. Users can easily find and book desks, while you gain valuable insights into workplace utilization.
The full floorsense solution equips you with reservation systems, occupancy tracking, and comprehensive reporting - all in one integrated package. It's secure and cost-effective, requires no monthly fees or IT projects, and takes as little as two weeks to set up.
Floorsight - a top of desk puck with optional display that allows users to reserve a workspace using existing access cards or their smartphone.
Floorsense - our under-desk sensor detects realtime occupancy of workspaces, simplifying booking and providing indepth usage data.
Dashboard - our powerful web-based dashboard keeps track of workplace utilisation, and provides detailed reports and historical insights.
The floorsight Puck is an all-in-one device: swipe card reader, bluetooth beacon, wireless and wired charger, and intelligent desk indicator.
floorsight simplifies workspace check-ins to just a swipe or a tap with an existing building access card or smartphone. Once checked in, users become visible to other users on the floorplan, enhancing connectivity and collaboration.
The under-desk floorsense PIR sensor intelligently detects actual workspace occupancy, regardless of reservation status. Its advanced algorithms effectively distinguish between genuine occupancy and transient events, ensuring accurate, long-term occupancy tracking and reporting.
When floorsense detects a user's presence, it communicates with the floorsight module - allowing floorsight to optionally prompt the user to check into the workspace.
The floorsense web dashboard offers a dynamic floorplan view of the workplace for users and administrators. Users can easily find available desks and find colleagues, while administrators gain valuable insights into space utilization through heatmaps and downloadable reports.
The dashboard's intuitive interface means pre-booking spaces or finding users are just a couple of clicks away. Additionally, it equips administrators with the necessary tools for full building restack planning.
The floorsense Display Companion is the ultimate desk upgrade. A plug-and-play external display add-on to a floorsight V4 puck network, the Display Companion doesn't require any more changes or additional power/data connections.
Plug in the Display Companion for richer visual data, dynamic signage and office companion features such as team mate locations, push notifications, First Aid / Fire Warden status and much more.
Used on its own or in addition to the floorsight V4 Puck, the floorsense occupancy sensor can be installed on new or existing office furniture. floorsense discreetly monitors space utilisation in real-time and sends it to a floorplan of your workplace, providing unparalleled insights into space usage, capacity levels, and efficiency.
With an AI-driven algorithm that works out of the box, the floorsense occupancy sensor uses the latest technology to assess actual occupancy. You can easily fine-tune the sensor to account for challenging environments, like reflective surfaces, busy corridors, and other complex layouts that typically confuse less advanced sensors.
Whether it's a desk or meeting table, seated or standing, a meeting room, or even soft seating, the floorsense occupancy sensor has it covered.
We work with leading furniture providers to provide seamless integration into the most popular workstations and office furniture.
Floorsense is so simple to install, you won't require any IT specialists. With our cross-platform commissioning app, all you need to do is scan a barcode and input the desk number. The software does the rest. Within minutes, you'll be able to see the sensor's occupancy state on a floorplan of your workplace.
The heart of the floorsense system is the web dashboard, which can be hosted either onsite or in the cloud. This intuitive web interface seamlessly integrates administrative operations with analytics and reporting features.
Real-time floor plans let you view desk occupancy across buildings and level, and highlight user maintenance requests.
Pre-booking desks or finding user locations is just a couple of clicks away.
Analyze workplace usage trends over time, from individual desks to groups, floors, or buildings. Easily export data for Excel and third-party BI tools.
Accurate occupancy data - floorsense's ease of use ensures high compliance, meaning high-quality data you can rely on to make informed decisions.
Floorsight integrates with the floorsense occupancy sensor for frictionless desk reservations and coworker location via the app or kiosk. The floorsight V4 Puck, installed in worktops or meeting room tables, monitors space utilization trends over time.
Facilities now receive even richer analytics data about workspace utilisation: rather than simply learning which spaces are used, they now know who is actually using them.
Users can simply tap a building access card or place their smartphone on the puck to reserve a desk for the day - automatically signalling their location on the building floorplan.
The floorsight V4 Puck includes an integrated 13.56mHZ RFID card reader for reading the most commonly used access cards, including Mifare DESFIRE v2. Compatible with Gallagher, HID, Indala and other major brands.
Floorsight includes both a “qi” wireless charger (iPhone 8+ and Android compatible) and a fast charging 2.1A USB charger for legacy devices. Don't pay twice for separate charging outlets and workpoint reservation: floorsight does it all.
Unlike other beacon-only solutions, the floorsight Puck V4 includes a unobtrusive indicator light for showing current desk status.
The simple traffic light system allows users to quickly recognise free and reserved desks, along with users that do not want to be disturbed.
The floorsight Display Companion is a display add-on that provides a truly full-featured desk booking system.
The Display Companion allows users to adjust and store height preferences, find teammates, receive push notifications, and manage onsite lockers.
The floorsense traffic light system is enhanced with dynamic desk signage and the ability to see future bookings, team bookings, and First Aid or Fire Warden status at a glance.
“No Swipe No Power” disables peripherals until users check in.
The accuracy and usefulness of workplace utilisation data depends on widespread user adoption and trust. Floorsight has been designed from the ground up to foster high levels of user compliance - which results in more meaningful data and reporting.
The key to user compliance is encouraging habit formation. Floorsight leverages the cue-response-reward loop to engage users and quickly generate high levels of habitual user engagement. Floorsight offers multiple cues to check in:
The puck indicator light will flash if the space is occupied without a checked in user.
Power to peripherals can be disabled until check-in, via the "No Swipe No Power" softwiring integration.
Optional audio alerts through the built-in speaker can remind users to check in.
The user response required is as simple as possible - users simply need to place their building access card or smartphone on the puck to check-in.
Height preferences are stored in the user’s app, rather the desk controller.
Sit-stand desks are intended to improve users health, however they can have the opposite affect if not used correctly. Floorsight can store individually assessed sit and standing heights according to workplace OHS recommendations. With the floorsense mobile app, the user can immediately adjust their desk height to their saved preference.
As the user’s desk height preferences are stored in the app rather than the desk controller. When the user moves between desks, the desk height will move with them across all locations, floors and buildings, greatly reducing the likelihood of RSI injury.
As an employer in an ABW workplace, you can rest assured that you have taken steps to putting employee health at the forefront of your considerations.
Follow-Me ergonomics is compatible with many leading sit-stand desk manufacturers, with more being added all the time.
Manage all levels of your company’s space with the floorsense Dashboard: from buildings, to individual floors, to single desks. A color-coded floor plan or grid view displays workspace states, with detailed pop-outs for individual desks showing reservations, occupancy, and event logs.
Create your own booking policies to suit your needs - such as allowing pre-booking, grace periods for user check-in, or auto-release for no-shows. Group workspaces by type, location, and division, allowing for granular control over policy and reporting.
Get immediate insight into occupation levels with a per-floor heat map of your office, allowing you to immediately identify daily, weekly or monthly trends.
Group workspaces by type to see which workspaces are the most popular, and if these are oversubscribed at any time.
All reporting data can be exported into a download Excel spreadsheet, or the raw utilisation data can be shared with external third party business intelligence tools, such as Microsoft PowerBI.
Forget upgrading WIFI or provisioning additional ethernet outlets. Floorsense and floorsight work out of the box with a self forming, self healing low frequency radio mesh. No IT project required, and no interference or overloading of existing WIFI networks.
Floorsense mesh networking is based on the OpenThread platform developed by Google for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and smart buildings. Ultra-low power and highly reliable connections to desk devices comes standard.
The mesh network is aggregated at a single floorsense controller installed onto each floor (larger floorplates may need 2 controllers). These controllers are small embedded appliances that can be hidden anywhere. If used in conjunction with the Smartalock locker system, the controller hides in the toe-kick space of the locker bank.
A single data outlet is needed per floor to join controllers into a common LAN, and a single Internet connection is needed for the entire site. Thats it. We believe the client networking requirements are the lowest and simplest on offer, while still remaining highly secure and available.
Integration with other Agile workplace systems is simple. The floorsense controller integrates natively with the Smartalock locker system, allowing for users to locate co-worker desk locations from a Smartalock kiosk. In addition, the floorsense app allows users to easily control their locker and desk allocation from a single application.
Integration with third party systems is also straight forward. Floorsense features an open API for direct connection into other building management systems using simple REST-based calls.
In addition, the floorsense controller allows for import and export of user records from external building access card systems such as Gallagher and HID along with Microsoft AD/LDAP and Azure AD integration.
For rapid and secure end user on-boarding, floorsense also supports Single Sign On (SSO) via Microsoft Azure AD or Okta.
For customers wanting desk reservation directly within their own all-in-one company branded app, floorsense supplies approved customers with sample source code and SDKs, to drop into custom apps, for a streamlined and company branded employee experience.
