For campus operations, facilities and IT
See how your lecture rooms are really used.
Occupi reads the Wi-Fi your campus already runs and shows how full each room is, hour by hour, next to what the timetable says. Four weeks, one building, free.
- No sensors or cameras
- No app to install
- Counts only, never who
What you have at the end
Six things your team can act on, from one building and four weeks of data.
- Booked vs actually usedPer room and floor: hours on the timetable against hours people were there.
- Empty bookingsWeekly classes in near-empty rooms, ranked by seats wasted.
- When the campus is busyA weekday-by-hour heatmap that shows which timetable changes free up a room.
- Free seats, liveA phone page showing students the open seats right now.
- Student reportsBroken AC or a room that's too small, filtered and set next to the room's data.
- A written reportThe numbers, plus the three changes we'd make first.
How the pilot runs
One building, about two hours of IT time, and no cost.
- 1Week 0By email: we pick one building and you send the room list and a timetable export.
- 2Week 1Your IT team gives a small collector read-only access to the Wi-Fi controller's client counts. We set it up together.
- 3Weeks 2–5Counts arrive every 15 minutes. Watch your own dashboard fill in.
- 4Week 6The report arrives by email. Not useful? We switch it off and delete the data.
After the pilot
FromUS$110a month per campus, by number of teaching rooms
- A written quote before you commit
- No lock-in
- Stop, and the data is deleted
Privacy, in plain terms
- Totals only: connected devices per access point, every 15 minutes.
- No MAC addresses, usernames or device IDs. Nothing can follow a person.
- Seat counts are rounded to 5, so one person in a room is never shown.
- Runs on a server on your own network by default, so counts never leave campus.
- Staff sign in with their own account and an authenticator code. Every change is logged.
- A security and privacy fact sheet and an operator agreement come before anything is installed.
- Questions for your Data Protection Act review get written answers before anything is installed.
Who's behind it
Occupi is built by Matt Klette in Gqeberha, South Africa. Matt studies at Emeris and works as an analytics engineer, building tracking and data pipelines for a US apparel brand. The data to answer “is this room actually used?” already sits in every campus Wi-Fi controller. Occupi reads it.
