Microsoft Places helps organizations coordinate flexible work, desk booking, and workplace usage inside the Microsoft ecosystem. With Humly, that experience can go further. Humly Sense adds sensor-driven insight, and Humly hardware brings simple, visible booking and status interactions into the physical workplace.

Reservations tell part of the story. Actual usage tells the rest. Microsoft Places is designed to help organizations optimize workplace coordination and space management, including with occupancy and utilization data. By adding Humly Sense, organizations can bring in sensor information that helps create a more complete picture of how spaces are really being used.

Microsoft Places analytics supports occupancy signals as part of its workplace insight model. Microsoft documentation points to actual occupancy as an important input for room and building analytics, including support for other occupancy or people-count sensors in some scenarios. Humly Sense strengthens that story by helping connect sensor information to practical workplace decisions.
