Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for facilitating workplace utilization and occupancy management using mobile devices. The present invention integrates a workplace management component, a sensor or location-based management system and an actual use of space analysis engine to provide significantly enhanced data accuracy regarding use of space, which improves system effectiveness and affects individual behavior. In one embodiment, the location-based management component incorporates global positioning system and/or near-field communication system technologies to determine when a user with a suitable mobile communications device is approaching a real estate resource where a reservation has been made, and in that event, issuing a notification to the user's device prompting action connected to the reservation. By affecting individual behavior, the system produces even greater data accuracy and improved control and management of resources.
Abstract: Organizations can proactively manage and reserve shared resources, such as workspaces, equipment and services, as well as report on the utilization of those resources across departments and facilities using the system of the present invention. Work-place management tools as provided by the present invention can be used to manipulate resources in real-time, automate inefficient processes, and track and analyze usage patterns, in order to make wise short-and long-term space and resource decisions.
