Room Utilization Software
"Room utilization," which is also referred to as "space utilization," "facility
utilization," or more generically as "resource utilization," is a measure of operational
effectiveness that figures prominently in a number of industries, but is of special significance in:
- Higher education - Where classroom utilization is an important metric
- Corporations - Where understanding meeting room and shared workspace utilization is critical to business decisions regarding an organization's real estate portfolio
A number of practices play a role in room utilization. The first is
optimizing room utilization - ensuring that
meetings are taking place in rooms
of the appropriate size, that meetings and events are distributed across your rooms so no space is over/underused, etc. The second is
to minimize no-shows so that space that
could be used isn't left empty. The next step is to
track room utilzation through people counting
sensors and EMS Attendance Tracker. And then
facility utilization reporting lets
you document room utilization.
While all EMS products provide some measure of utilization tracking and reporting, the products below provide the
most advanced business intelligence capabilities including analytics, trending and benchmarking.
