Estate & Occupancy
Smarter spaces built for real human behaviour
Smarter spaces built for real human behaviour
Estate and occupancy services help organisations understand which spaces are used, when they are used, and how people move through buildings. This insight makes it easier to create spaces that work better for the people who rely on them every day. By identifying unused or under-used zones, understanding traffic flow through buildings, and highlighting pressure points, organisations can make informed decisions that improve comfort, accessibility, and overall experience. Spaces can be adjusted based on real behaviour rather than assumptions. These services also support facilities teams by providing evidence to guide cleaning schedules, maintenance planning, space reconfiguration, and investment decisions. At the same time, better occupancy insight helps organisations reduce wasted energy, support sustainability practices, and make more responsible use of their estates.
OccuFi® is a Wi-Fi occupancy analytics platform designed for estate owners. Built and operated by Switchshop, OccuFi® enables organisations to gain real-time and historical insights into building occupancy, dwell time, and movement across complex, multi-building estates using anonymised data from their existing wireless infrastructure. It helps estates, facilities, and IT teams make smarter, data-driven decisions around space utilisation, service delivery, and estate planning, without disruption and with privacy at its core.
Insight into how spaces are really used: Switchshop helps organisations see which areas are heavily used, under-used, or not used at all. Understanding occupancy levels and movement patterns allows spaces to be managed and improved more effectively.
Improved flow, comfort and accessibility: By understanding how people move through buildings, organisations can reduce congestion, improve wayfinding, and ensure key spaces are easier and more comfortable to use.
Better facilities and operational decisions: Clear occupancy insight supports smarter decisions around cleaning, maintenance, security, and space planning. Facilities teams can focus effort where it is genuinely needed, improving efficiency and service quality.
Supporting sustainability and responsible estates: Knowing when and where spaces are in use helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption, supports carbon reduction goals, and enables more sustainable building operations.
Scalable and privacy first: Switchshop’s Estate & Occupancy services scale across single buildings and large estates while focusing on space usage rather than individuals, supporting trust and transparency.
Insight for short-term action and long term planning: From day-to-day operational improvements to long-term estate strategy, Switchshop provides the insight organisations need to adapt spaces as usage patterns change.
