How workplace data solved a midweek meeting crunch

Crowded Tuesdays stalled collaboration—until data showed the gap and helped teams work faster, smarter, and on the fly.

A diverse group of seven people sit around a conference table in a modern meeting room with wood-paneled walls, warm lighting, and a large screen on the wall behind them.

As the saying goes, data wins arguments. And sometimes, everybody wins.

One Density customer instituted a soft-touch return to the office: everyone in on Tuesdays. No big deal. But then Tuesdays got really crowded.

The vibe? Super collaborative. The reality? Good luck finding a room. At least a quarter of the day, employees were battling to find an open room. It wasn’t just annoying—it was a productivity bottleneck.

At first, real estate didn’t buy it. “There’s space somewhere,” they insisted.

Enter Density’s Waffle sensor. No guesses. Just data.

The data showed exactly what workplace teams suspected: Tuesdays were slammed. More than 80% of meeting rooms were booked solid on that day.

Faced with the facts, real estate made the call: open up a floor that had previously been offline

The increase in space has changed the meeting culture: the company now runs more on spontaneity. Now 43% of meeting room usage is for drop-ins. Grab a colleague, duck into a room, make things happen.

Having more rooms has made teams more agile, allowing for a faster workplace. Turns out, data didn’t just win the argument. It helped unlock a better place to work.
