Combining real-time workplace utilisation data with LaunchPOD’s flexible furniture and fitout solutions to turn workplace insights into smarter design decisions.
LaunchPOD is pleased to announce its partnership with XY Sense, a Melbourne-headquartered technology company using smart sensors and AI-powered analytics to help organisations understand how their workplaces are used.
XY Sense’s workplace sensors passively collect highly accurate, real-time utilisation data while protecting employee privacy. LaunchPOD brings the next step: translating those insights into practical workplace design, furniture and fitout changes that evolves workspaces as business needs change.
Workplace needs are constantly evolving. Hybrid attendance, changing team structures and new ways of collaborating all influence how people use their offices. Yet workplace layouts are often planned around headcount, traditional space ratios and assumptions about how employees work.
XY Sense helps organisations understand what is happening across their workplaces through real-time occupancy and utilisation analytics. LaunchPOD combines these insights with an understanding of each organisation’s people, operations and workplace requirements to identify opportunities for improvement.
Together, the partnership connects the data that reveals how a workplace performs with flexible design and fitout solutions that help make better use of the space.
The partnership brings workplace intelligence and physical workplace solutions together in a practical process.
The result is a more informed approach to workplace planning - connecting what the data reveals with tangible changes to the physical environment.
At LaunchPOD, we believe workplaces should be designed around how people work, not just how a space looks on a floor plan. Our flexible workplace solutions help organisations create functional environments that can respond to changing teams, work patterns and business requirements.
Partnering with XY Sense strengthens this approach by bringing real-time workplace utilisation insights into the decision-making process.
We've all seen them in offices. The couch nobody ever sits on, the row of desks that doesn't suit the work anyone actually does. Most of the time, they've been chosen for high-end form over function. Partnering with LaunchPOD means every decision, from the first furniture trial to the final fitout, starts with real insight into how your team actually works."
“The workplace of the future won’t be a static environment designed once and left unchanged for years. It will be an intelligent, evolving ecosystem that understands how people interact with it and adapts as their needs change. Our partnership with XY Sense is an important step towards that future. By connecting real-time intelligence with flexible workplace design, we’re moving beyond simply creating spaces for people to work in, towards creating workplaces that continuously learn, respond and evolve alongside the organisations they serve.”
LaunchPOD and XY Sense will be together at Melbourne Build 2026 on 25–26 November at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
