See what’s actually happening in your building

Julie Sylvest

Ask a facilities manager about their building and you will get a confident answer: square meters, lease terms, cost per desk. Ask what’s actually happening on floor three at 2 PM on a Tuesday, and that confidence vanishes. Most buildings operate on assumptions, not on real data, and every real estate decision inherits that blind spot.

akenza replaces the guesswork with real-time occupancy intelligence. Low-power sensors placed under desks, in meeting rooms, and at entry points capture how a space is actually used: what floors are underused, which meeting rooms sit empty, and how foot traffic flows. As a hardware-agnostic IoT platform, akenza connects any type of building sensors to the cloud, as well as BMS data, and aggregates everything into a single place.

At the ISS Cube in Zurich, roughly a million data points are processed every day. akenza turns that data into action:

Workplace managers can redesign underused spaces based on actual demand.
Cleaning teams get dispatched based on real foot traffic instead of a fixed calendar.
Employees can view live occupancy to find a free desk in seconds.
