Put desks and rooms where they are really needed

One zone is full every day, the next is half empty. Seatti shows you per desk and area what is used, so you can rearrange deliberately every quarter instead of by gut feeling.

Sound familiar?

One team hunts for desks every day, the team next door has too many.

With Seatti

Utilization per zone compared, desk moves backed by data.

Booked desks that nobody sits at.

With Seatti

Booked and actually used per desk, side by side.

The floor plan dates from before hybrid work.

With Seatti

A data basis every quarter, instead of replanning once every five years.

How Seatti helps

From the single desk to a better layout

Measure, spot outliers, rearrange, check the effect: based on your own usage data.

Seatti Signals

Usage per desk, via the docking station

Seatti Signals detects when someone is actually working at a desk. No additional sensors, using the technology already on the desk.

  • Utilization per desk in percent
  • Rarely used desks flagged automatically
  • Measurement coverage visible per area

Area comparison

The spread shows where to rearrange

A good average can look fine and still hide that individual desks are barely used. Seatti shows the full range per area.

  • Lowest, average and highest value per zone
  • Compare zones and floors directly
  • Track the change after a refit

Workspace Intelligence

Just ask: which desks are barely used?

Instead of filtering spreadsheets, you ask your question in plain language and get the candidates for the next rearrangement as a list.

  • Questions in plain language
  • Answers based on your own usage data
  • Results as a list for planning

Bookings vs. usage

Plan rooms and desks by real demand

For meeting rooms and bookable areas Seatti uses booking data, for desks also the measured usage. Together this gives a clear picture of the ratio of desks to rooms.

  • Booking rate and no-shows per resource
  • Question the ratio of desks to meeting rooms
  • Export for your planning and your BI

Adjust once a quarter

The rhythm that keeps layouts current without constant moves.

Step 1

Measure

Capture usage continuously, per desk, zone and room, with no extra effort day to day.

Step 2

Spot

Find outliers: overloaded zones and desks hardly anyone uses.

Step 3

Rearrange

Move teams, repurpose desks, reshape zones.

Step 4

Check

See next quarter whether the change worked.

Tagline

“Design before function is a fallacy.”

“Only when everything works does the design come into its own,” says Frank Dombrowski, New Office Project Manager at bonprix. Based on usage data from Seatti, bonprix completely redesigned an area planned as a quiet zone and achieves 66% higher utilization per desk than the year before.

The building blocks behind a better layout:

Frequently asked questions about allocating space

Do we need new hardware on the desks?

No. Seatti Signals uses existing docking stations. We clarify with your IT in advance which models are supported.

Does this also apply to meeting rooms?

For rooms, Seatti works with booking data. The per-desk measurement via Signals applies to desks.

Are individuals analysed?

No. It is about the use of desks and areas, analysed in aggregate.

How often should we rearrange?

A review once a quarter has proven itself. That way you react to change without constantly moving.

Does this also work with assigned desks?

Yes. With assigned desks in particular, the measurement shows which of them stay empty for good.
