XY Sense

XY Sense is a privacy-first workplace occupancy intelligence platform that helps companies monitor, analyze, and optimize how their office space is used. The company's computer vision-based sensors anonymously track real-time movement and presence across desks, meeting rooms, and shared spaces, capturing metrics like dwell time, utilization rates, and movement patterns. XY Sense’s cloud-based Insights Platform delivers rich analytics and integrates seamlessly with air quality sensors and workplace tools. Each sensor covers up to 1,000 square feet and tracks movement with sub-foot accuracy every two seconds—enabling smarter space planning, hybrid workplace optimization, energy efficiency, and better employee experiences.

The company offers flexible pricing, with either a hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) subscription model or a CapEx (capital expenditure) option. In both cases, customers pay an annual platform subscription fee to access the Insights Platform, software updates, and customer support. The HaaS model eliminates upfront hardware costs, making it easier for companies to scale deployments across office portfolios. The CapEx model is ideal for organizations that prefer to own their hardware assets outright. Both options include access to XY Sense’s full analytics suite, privacy-first data collection, enterprise-grade InfoSec compliance, and integration support with desk booking, BMS, and ESG systems.

“We designed our pricing model to match the diversity of our customers,” said Alex Birch, co-founder and CEO. “Some organizations are looking to move quickly and scale occupancy insights without a large upfront investment; others prefer the ownership and control that comes with CapEx. Our goal is to be a partner, not a vendor, and that means giving teams the flexibility they need to make data-driven workplace decisions from day one.”
