What is PointGrab
PointGrab is a workplace occupancy and utilization analytics platform that uses sensor data and computer-vision-based people counting to measure how spaces are used. It is typically used by corporate real estate, facilities, and workplace teams to support space planning, desk/room utilization analysis, and workplace experience initiatives. The product focuses on collecting high-frequency occupancy signals from physical spaces and turning them into dashboards and reports, rather than providing a full end-to-end IWMS suite for leases, maintenance, and capital projects.
Granular occupancy data capture
PointGrab centers on collecting real-time and historical occupancy signals from spaces using sensors and people-counting approaches. This supports detailed utilization analysis at the level of rooms, zones, and floors. For organizations prioritizing measurement of actual space usage, the product aligns well with data-driven workplace planning workflows.
Workplace analytics focus
The platform is oriented toward utilization reporting and insights rather than broad real estate administration. This can make it a practical add-on for teams that already run separate systems for leases, work orders, or asset management. It also fits deployments where the primary goal is to quantify occupancy patterns and validate workplace policy changes.
Integrates with workplace ecosystems
PointGrab is commonly positioned to feed occupancy data into other workplace and facilities tools via integrations. This helps organizations avoid replacing existing systems while still improving the quality of utilization inputs. In IWMS environments, this can complement portfolio and facilities modules by providing measured usage data instead of relying only on bookings or surveys.
Not a full IWMS suite
PointGrab’s core capability is occupancy sensing and analytics, not comprehensive IWMS functions such as lease administration, capital planning, preventive maintenance, or service management. Buyers looking for a single system of record across real estate and facilities typically need additional products. As a result, it often operates as a component within a broader workplace technology stack.
Hardware deployment considerations
Sensor-based solutions require planning for device placement, power/networking, and ongoing device lifecycle management. Rollouts can be constrained by building conditions, IT/security requirements, and installation logistics. Ongoing calibration, monitoring, and replacement planning may be needed to maintain data quality over time.
Privacy and governance requirements
People-counting and occupancy monitoring can trigger privacy, works council, and policy concerns depending on jurisdiction and internal governance. Organizations may need clear data retention rules, signage, and stakeholder alignment before deployment. These requirements can extend implementation timelines and limit where sensors can be installed.
