The idea behind the office capacity calculator
The pandemic made us miss collaborating, socializing, and meeting with colleagues face-to-face. For most of us, trending concepts, such as quarantine and isolation were unfamiliar – if not unknown. Following any physical distancing guidelines inside the workplace was once unimaginable, but now is daily business. Listening to the challenges around new office capacity regulations, we decided to come up with a solution: the office capacity calculator.
Solving a time-consuming challenge
A new office capacity means a lot less available desks. But manually measuring the new distance between desks is a time-consuming process. Imagine looking at a handful of floorplans. Next to that, assigning desks to individual employees can be a challenge. For that reason, we wanted to make sure the new reduced office capacity is used as efficiently as possible.
How it works
Our office capacity calculator helps design the optimal floorplan based on your social distancing rules. Using your existing floorplans, our office capacity calculator provides the most efficient floorplan, covering different social distancing scenarios (1, 1.5, 2.0 m).
You import an existing floorplan, define a safe distance and the office capacity calculator does all the hard work. The result is a clear floorplan where you can see exactly which workplaces can be used. With this smart calculator, you save valuable time and resources while easily defining a new office capacity.
A safe floorplan in less than 5 minutes
You may wonder: why shouldn’t I stick to my Excel sheet? The answer is simple. Using a manual Excel sheet takes a lot more time. The algorithm behind our easy-to-use smart calculator can provide solutions to multiple distancing scenarios. For example: for a company with a thousand employees, it takes less than 5 minutes to calculate the office capacity and assign the available desks to employees.
