Stop Paying
For Empty Desks.
One smart power strip per desk.
Real-time occupancy data in minutes, not months.
The Problem
Hybrid work broke the old playbook
COVID-19 permanently changed how offices are used. Occupancy plummeted and never recovered, yet most companies are still paying for pre-pandemic square footage.
Average Office Occupancy Over Time
Global average across major metros (source: CBRE, JLL)
Pre-pandemic occupancy sat at ~85%. Post-COVID, it collapsed to under 50% and hasn't recovered.
actual time employees spend in the office
7 productive hours per day, plus lunch and transition time. Multiply by 3 days per week and employees average just 20 hours, leaving desks empty over 60% of the working week.

average cost per desk per year
Rent, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, IT infrastructure. Every empty desk burns through this budget with zero return. For a 500-desk office, that's millions in waste.

of energy wasted on phantom power
Monitors, chargers, and peripherals draw power around the clock at unoccupied desks. It's a hidden cost nobody measures, until now.

Return on Investment
Every empty desk is burning your money
Most offices waste 40% of their space. Syncra turns that waste into six-figure savings.
Savings in weeks, not months
Plug in. See waste. Cut it. That simple.
Kill Phantom Power
Empty desks still draw power 24/7. Monitors, chargers, docking stations, all silently draining your budget.
See Where Money Disappears
Floor 3 at 25% occupancy? You wouldn't know without data. Now you will, within days.
Stop Cleaning Ghost Floors
Why maintain space nobody uses? Focus cleaning crews where people actually sit.
The big wins keep coming
Hard data for hard decisions. No more guessing on leases.
Negotiate Leases with Proof
Walk into your next renewal with hard numbers. 500 desks at 40% utilisation? Time to right-size.
Close Entire Floors

Pilots
Deployed across every office type
From enterprise headquarters to 10-person startups. Syncra is proving its value across telecommunications, sports technology, and professional services.
Enterprise Telecom HQ
Telecommunications40–55% of desk-level energy identified as eliminable waste
Monitors, docking stations, and chargers drawing power at unoccupied desks around the clock. Invisible without desk-level metering.
Mid-week occupancy peaks uncovered
Desk-level data revealed clear Tuesday–Thursday peaks and low Monday/Friday utilisation, giving facilities hard evidence for space reallocation.
This waste was invisible without desk-level metering. One device per desk unlocked phantom power savings, space consolidation data, cleaning schedule evidence, and lease negotiation leverage.
SME Startup Office
Sports TechnologyFirst full-density SME deployment
Syncra deployed across the majority of desks, proving workspace intelligence is not just an enterprise play.
Always-on monitoring, no facilities team required
Energy, occupancy, and electrical safety monitoring for offices that don’t have dedicated facilities staff.
Small offices waste energy too. They just don’t have a facilities team to catch it. Syncra gives SMEs enterprise-grade visibility, from meeting room monitoring to anomaly detection on older or overloaded circuits.
Professional Services
Architecture & PlanningOccupancy swings by project cycle
Desk utilisation varies wildly week to week. Syncra will quantify that variance at the desk level and identify recoverable space and energy.
Hybrid work test case
Hybrid working patterns make this an ideal environment for occupancy-driven consolidation insights.
The perfect environment to validate Syncra’s ability to map volatile occupancy patterns and surface actionable savings.
