Complementary Insights: A Unified View

Each data source—WiFi, Entryway Sensors, Area Sensors, and even Badge Data—offers a different lens into workplace behavior. By combining these sources within a single platform, VergeSense delivers a more complete, multi-dimensional view of how spaces are used.

• WiFi captures broad occupancy patterns with speed and scale
• Sensors provide precision at entry points and within rooms
• Badge Data helps validate policy adherence

Together, these inputs enable workplace teams to make confident, strategic decisions based on the most complete dataset available.

WiFi vs. Area Sensors

• WiFi: Provides building- and floor-level data with 80–85% accuracy. Best for broad coverage and scalability at low cost.
• Area Sensors: Deliver highly accurate, room-level occupancy data. Ideal for spaces where precision is critical (e.g., conference rooms).

Combine both for a layered understanding of your workplace.

WiFi vs. Entryway Sensors

• WiFi: Requires no new hardware and is cost-effective. Best for trend tracking.
• Entryway Sensors: Offer >95% accuracy at ingress/egress points. Best when accuracy is top priority and infrastructure is available.

Use WiFi to scale insights; use Entryway Sensors for validation and precision.

WiFi vs. Badge Data

• WiFi: Tracks real-time occupancy. Measures how long people are actually present in a space.
• Badge Data: Measures access activity. May overcount or undercount due to tailgating or lack of badge-outs.

WiFi provides a continuous, passive signal. Badge data is event-driven and useful for policy compliance but less useful for real-time utilization.

Accuracy-Based Data Hierarchy

VergeSense follows an accuracy-first model for buildings/floors with a multi-data layer approach:

• If Entryway data is available, it powers floor-level person counts
• If not, WiFi data is used for floors and large zones
• Area Sensor data supplements granular insights at the room level

This ensures customers always see the most accurate occupancy data available.
