We help companies understand how their workplaces are used. We do that by observing behavior in the office through our accurate and always anonymous sensors. In other words: we measure where people actually spend their time in the workplace.

We translate that data into actionable insights that help companies increase the financial and experiential performance of any workplace.

Our product is being deployed globally by companies of all industries and sizes. What these customers have in common is space, and collectively our customers operate and occupy billions of square feet of corporate real estate. We’re architecting infrastructure where annual, unscheduled downtime is measured in minutes. We’re building intelligent redundancies so missed events are an oddity. We’re constructing an exceptional engineering team to support always-on, intelligible analytics generated on the fly.

That’s where you come in.
