# Understanding Your Data

Space utilization data is a powerful data set that can be used to make your business more efficient and improve the experience of your customers and employees.  Occuspace's data is used by many organizations in a variety of ways.  Below are a few examples of the use cases that our data enables.

* A higher education customer uses Occuspace to measure the occupancy utilization of all campus buildings to accurately allocate space to departments, and recently saved $35 million in one year by eliminating previously planned new construction projects
* A large commercial real estate ownership group uses Occuspace to measure foot traffic to their portfolio of real estate assets, to better understand tenant utilization and be more effective in marketing properties and negotiating leases
* A large tech company uses Occuspace to understand building capacity in real-time allowing them to optimize food service operations, reduce waste, improve staffing, and ensure a strong employee experience for their on-site workforce
* A major ski resort uses Occuspace to provide real-time information to their visitors (via app, their Website, and digital signage) around ski lift waiting times and restaurant/dining room busyness

The above are just a few examples of the many ways Occuspace data can be useful.  However in order to ensure that you successfully leverage our data it is important to understand the various data sets we offer and how to interpret them.  This guide and following sections cover this in further detail.
