Global businesses need a global picture of office attendance. Yet when workplace tools are poorly adopted, disconnected from actual behavior, or too complex to maintain—leaders lose visibility. And without office use visibility, workplace operations become unmanageable. That’s why Wi-Fi based office check-ins are crucial for office visibility.

Kadence changes this with Automatic Check-Ins, powered by Kadence Sense: a lightweight desktop tool that enables Wi-Fi-based attendance logging—no employee input required.

Here are seven real-world use cases—and the strategic benefits Kadence delivers with Automatic Wi-Fi based office check-ins.

1. Gain Clear Metrics to Power Hybrid Strategy

With low adoption of manual check-ins and inconsistent bookings, most organizations lack a trustworthy record of office presence.

“We’re trying to gain metrics for return to office… and we can’t get clean data.”

Kadence Agent helps deliver real-time, validated attendance insights across every location with Wi-Fi-Based Offiice Check-ins—giving leaders the metrics they need to justify spend, reallocate space, and inform long-term workplace strategy.

2. Eliminate Check-In Friction to Maximize Adoption

Manual check-ins rely on consistent human behavior. But humans forget, and engagement drops quickly. When check-ins are skipped or ignored, attendance data is lost—leaving leadership in the dark.

“We’ve tried to get employees to check in themselves. It’s a nightmare.”

The Kadence Agent eliminates the need for employee action. With Wi-Fi-based presence detection, attendance is captured the moment an employee connects—automatically, reliably, and at scale. The result: higher adoption, zero effort, and accurate data you can actually use.

3. Simplify IT Management with Effortless Setup

When tools are difficult to deploy, adoption slows and IT overhead increases. Complex setups also create security risks and reduce long-term maintainability

“Our existing provider requires the individual IP address for every machine—no one wants to do that work.”

Kadence requires just a single IP address per office to enable automatic check-ins—no device-by-device registration, no ongoing manual configuration. It’s simple to roll out, easy to support, and secure by design. Get started in minutes with Kadence Agent.

4. Automate Workplace Workflows with Verified Presence

Workflow automation only works when presence data is accurate and timely. If attendance is inconsistent or incomplete, triggers fail—and key workflows like catering, locker access, or even HR tracking fall apart.

“We need geofencing to trigger attendance, which launches other workflows like lunch invites.”

Kadence acts as your real-time source of truth for in-office presence. When an employee connects to Wi-Fi, their attendance is confirmed—automatically triggering workflows, integrations, and policies across the business.

5. Optimize Desk Usage with Data-Driven Assignments

Without dependable booking and check-in data, desk assignments become guesswork. This leads to overlapping reservations, unused desks, and a confusing experience for employees.

“We want to assign desks to people who are permanently in-office, but also clearly reserve desks for actual visitors.”

Kadence brings together desk assignment, real-time availability, and verified presence—so teams always know who’s in, where they’re sitting, and how the space is being used. It removes ambiguity and supports smarter, more flexible seating plans.

6. Prevent Overcrowding and Walk-In Frustration

When employees show up without booking, or when others don’t check in properly, capacity systems break. Employees lose trust, and usage drops as frustration rises.

“People go to the office and don’t have seats.”

Kadence keeps desk booking availability live and accurate. Automatic check-ins reflect true occupancy in real-time, helping facilities avoid overbooking and ensuring that walk-ins aren’t left without space to work.

7. Standardize Global Visibility Across All Workplaces

With different tools and inconsistent processes across regions, gaining a global view of space utilization is nearly impossible. This makes portfolio decisions, lease negotiations, and policy rollouts difficult to manage.

“We want to track attendance and space use across our global offices and coworking spaces.”

Kadence gives you a unified check-in system for every office and workplace type—delivering consistent, accurate data across your entire portfolio without requiring you to standardize every location’s tech stack.
