Locatee is a Swiss workplace analytics provider that taps into buildings' IT infrastructure to produce space utilisation insights. The platform converts existing data streams into analytics showing who is working where and who is not, helping firms reassess office needs. The new funding will be used to continue developing the platform and to support customers redesigning and managing office spaces based on Locatee's analytics. The startup has been able to capitalise on the pandemic as companies scrutinise how much office space they actually need. Co-founder and CEO Thomas Kessler said revenues grew significantly over the last year, underscoring strong demand for Locatee's solution. To date, the company has raised approximately $15.7 million in total financing. Locatee integrates with existing motion sensors, Wi‑Fi and network infrastructure to provide anonymized analytics about office space utilization. Its core product includes data dashboards plus tools such as smart signage, meeting‑room displays and desk‑finder features for roaming workers. Customers cited in the article include Biogen, Swiss Re, Johnson & Johnson and Zurich, and Locatee says its data helped Swiss Re reduce local office space by 10%, saving about €290,000 per year. Employee location features are opt‑in and the company anonymizes data to address privacy concerns. Locatee plans to focus on optimizing office space and aims to become the “Google Analytics of office buildings.” The company closed its Series A before the coronavirus pandemic hit Europe.
