Meet Waffle, Density’s new self-installable sensor

To understand their spaces, workplace leaders regularly hack together various data sources—from counting cars in the lot to badge data. But not all data sources are created equal, and it’s nuts to base million-dollar decisions on a dude with a clipboard. Why do some of the best companies in the world do this?

It’s because understanding your workplace is unacceptably expensive, time-consuming, and just plain hard. 

This lack of accurate measurement comes at a cost. Last year, the average U.S. office had a peak utilization rate of just 27%, meaning there’s $1 trillion in unused office space.

Meet Waffle, our self-installable real-time radar sensor.

That’s why we created Waffle. Yes, we actually named it Waffle.

Waffle is the budget-friendly, fast and easy answer to your workplace analytics woes.

It measures meeting rooms, phone booths, flex spaces and more. It’s also small enough to fit in your hand, so it fits wherever you need it - on a wall, under a TV screen, or placed on furniture.

It's easy.

Where existing sensors can take months to install, with complicated wiring, ceiling setups, and holes in walls, Waffle takes seconds.

Just plug-and-play. No ladders required. Plus, Waffle is easy to maintain - no worries about dying batteries. 

It's fast.

Once your Waffle is up and running, you can seamlessly plug into Density’s software and API ecosystem from day one. Whether you’re looking for a deeper understanding of your workplace metrics, or want to help your employees find available spaces with Live, Waffle gets you there.

It's budget-friendly.

Waffle sensors are just $149 each, cutting the cost of measuring the average meeting room by 84%. Software access plans are available for $8 a month (billed annually) or $15 a month (billed monthly) to access Waffle data through Density Atlas, Density Live and Density API.

How it works.

Waffle lets you:

• Measure phone booths, huddle rooms, meeting rooms, and flex spaces with range up to 18 feet and 140-degree field of view.
• Shows if a space is free or in use and whether it’s used by one, two or more than three people.
• Protect privacy. Waffle and all Density sensors are completely anonymous at source. It’s the difference between “don’t be evil” and “can’t be evil.”
