Can occupancy data help avoid a real estate expansion?
Yes. This semiconductor campus found 28% of its collaboration space underused and deferred an $18M expansion with zero new leases.

How a Bay Area semiconductor campus deferred an $18M expansion
Meeting room shortages were slowing engineers across an eight-building Bay Area R&D campus, and leadership was weighing an $18M expansion. More than 1,200 Butlr sensors in offices and conference rooms fed occupancy data into internal BI dashboards through the Butlr API. The data showed 28% of collaboration space was underused, including a large lab area that could become desks. The campus rebalanced its space and deferred the entire expansion.
