Unlock Real-Time Insights for Smarter Space and Estate Management

Universities rely on sophisticated timetabling systems to coordinate courses, allocate staff, and assign spaces. But often, they lack real-time, continuous insight into actual space usage. While a published timetable sets the plan, the reality can differ significantly.

Many institutions still depend on manual snapshot space surveys -typically conducted just a few times a year. They can be costly and time-consuming, providing only partial insights into space utilisation.

Hi, We would like to tell you more about our Attendance & Engagement solutions. Call our office or click on the button below.

Presto Engagement Management transforms this process by tracking actual student attendance and anonymising the data for privacy protection. With this real-time information, university estate teams can gain valuable insights into space occupancy, usage, and trends, benefiting multiple areas:

  • Estate Management: Use long-term data to improve capacity planning, enhance flexibility, and make informed infrastructure decisions.
  • Facility & Space Management: Optimise energy use, streamline cleaning and maintenance schedules, and explore opportunities for renting or repurposing unused or underutilised spaces based on real-time occupancy.
  • Timetabling: Compare planned vs. actual attendance to adjust room allocations and resources, ensuring spaces are used efficiently.

Universities are already generating room utilisation data - by adopting PrestoSpace, they can transform this data into detailed, actionable insights for better space management.
