Let data drive decision making, through analytics

You can learn a lot from data. With Cisco Spaces Location Analytics, filter data based on parameters such as time, date and geography. Discover trends and measure the impact of at-location behavior. Use these learnings to arrive at data-backed decisions.

Trends and insights from visitor behavior

Visitor behavior ranges from time spent at a location to average number of visits, frequency and more. Analyzing this helps you arrive at the busiest hours of the day or days of the week, so you can optimize operations and make informed staffing and resourcing decisions​.

Frequently Asked Questions

Indoor location analytics uses advanced technology to track and analyze the movement of people and assets within a building. It provides real-time insights into space utilization, visitor patterns, and operational dynamics. This information helps organizations understand how their spaces are being used, optimize layouts, and improve overall efficiency. With location-based analytics, businesses have solid data to make informed decisions related to enhancing user experiences and maximizing the value of their physical environments.

Location data analytics for commercial buildings enhances efficiency by providing real-time data on how spaces are used. It collects data on underutilized areas to facilitate better space allocation and reduce wasted resources. By tracking the movement of people and assets, organizations can streamline workflows, minimize bottlenecks, and ensure facilities are used optimally. This detailed visibility allows for proactive management and ensures that every part of your building contributes effectively to your operations.

Location analytics optimizes space usage and minimizes resource waste by identifying underutilized areas. When organizations can make informed decisions about space allocation, they can downsize or repurpose areas to better meet their needs. Efficient tracking of assets and resources also helps reduce loss and improve maintenance schedules, which lowers operational expenses. These insights together help businesses make smarter investments and manage their facilities more effectively, which means more cost savings in the long run.

As part of maintaining sustainable practices, we have to consider our carbon footprint, especially when it comes to energy use. Indoor location analytics provides real-time insights into space utilization, enabling smarter energy management.

By understanding how spaces are used, systems can adjust lighting, heating, and cooling based on occupancy, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. For example, lights can be dimmed or turned off in empty areas, and HVAC systems can be optimized to maintain comfort without waste. This intelligent control lowers energy costs and contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly building operation.
