Kelly Vaughn, Spot AI, sits down with Bernie Mehl, CEO of Kisi, to discuss and share their expertise on the new exciting opportunities in physical security.

Struggling to manage member access at your shared space? This webinar is designed for you! Join us (Spacebring and Kisi) on the first day of August to learn how automate access and solve common problems from industry experts.

In this Kisi Connect 2024 session, Sneh Kadakia, founder and CEO of from HERE, and Sam Strauss-Malcolm, founder of Work Heights, discuss what it’s like to operate a coworking space in an era of automation with Daniela Mallarino.

Bernie Mehl shares that Kisi have launched their Office Occupancy Index, which benchmarks the office occupancy rate by dividing the number of all daily unique unlocks by the maximum office capacity number.

At time of curation the US country-wide workweek average occupancy sat at 51.24%, with Wednesdays seeing the most foot traffic with 57.44% average occupancy. Most interestingly for you, is that based on office industry "coworking & bookable spaces" came in second highest with a 69.55% average (following "Agriculture & agribusiness", which I assume includes bio labs with 72.39%). We’re followed by "fitness & wellness" spaces (58.1%) and "manufacturing & distribution" (58.71%) – both of which have in-person utilization being a little necessary to function.

Bernie Mehl tested out some hybrid work data from Kisi unlock data for US locations in the week of Oct 1st to 7th. Two of the graphs show occupancy by category (education tops the chart at 42.8% whilst ‘energy and utilities’ sits at 27.42%) and by day (showing the upside down U of busy Tu, We and Th with quieter Mo and Fr).

Hey asked for "thoughts about the occupancy data? For sure there are multiple ways to measure it and multiple ways to slice it." What kind of data would you like to see from Bernie and Kisi? Should they also do a monthly/weekly index?
