As hybrid work becomes the dominant way forward for organizations worldwide, leaders face a growing challenge: how to make smart, data-driven decisions about their workplaces without costly infrastructure or invasive tracking systems.
Even in 2025, many companies are making critical decisions that affect thousands of employees based on limited data or gut instincts. That’s why today we are excited to announce a new product that solves a pressing need for hybrid organizations worldwide, Kadence Sense.
Kadence Sense provides accurate, real-time occupancy metrics across all your locations without requiring additional hardware. It leverages existing systems—Wi-Fi, Ethernet, badge access, and video conferencing tools—to centralize workspace utilization data in Kadence Workplace Analytics for a single source of truth.
“Kadence Sense transforms how we optimize our workplace. By eliminating the need for expensive sensors, we’ve unlocked accurate insights to create better, more engaging workspaces while reducing costs and complexity.” — Jeff Gwinett, Sr. Director, Workplace & Sustainability, Softchoice
All this is made possible through a lightweight desktop app that automates employee check-ins and enhances the hybrid work experience. Centrally provisioned by IT in minutes, it captures hybrid data automatically—without complex integrations, intrusive device tracking or expensive hardware—helping companies monitor compliance, optimize office space, and enable data-driven workforce planning.
This is just the first part of Kadence Sense, with many more powerful features coming soon.
