What Abintra does

Abintra Ltd is a UK-based private limited company founded in 2001 by built environment professionals who developed the world's first proprietary desk sensor. The company specializes in technology-led measurement, evaluation, and management of corporate office space utilization, deploying its proprietary Wisenet™ sensor platform across enterprise, public sector, and higher education clients worldwide.

The Wisenet™ platform combines purpose-built hardware — desk-level Passive Infrared occupancy sensors, meeting room sensors, people counters, and multi-parameter environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, light, noise, CO2, particulates) — with a cloud-based analytics and reporting layer that delivers real-time workspace intelligence. Sensors operate wirelessly on their own frequency without requiring network connection, and the platform integrates via API with scheduling tools, BI systems, lighting controls, and building automation systems. The company's competitive positioning rests on deterministic measurement accuracy that does not rely on AI interpretation of blurred optical data, source data integrity for GDPR-compliant verification, and over two decades of deployment experience.

Abintra generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of Wisenet™ sensors, subscription or recurring fees for its data and analytics platform, and professional services spanning assessment, deployment, and ongoing support. Its go-to-market is exclusively enterprise direct sales, with engagements ranging from four-week surveys on a single office floor up to global permanent multi-office installations. The company claims near 100% client retention across a named customer base that includes Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Deloitte, Accenture, Aon, BP, EDF, Tesco, Pfizer, NHS Scotland, Transport for London, and BBC.

Core offering

Abintra designs, manufactures, and deploys the proprietary Wisenet™ range of occupancy and environmental sensors (desk sensors, meeting room sensors, people counters, and environmental monitoring devices) and pairs them with cloud-based analytics software to deliver real-time workspace utilization and environmental intelligence. The company sells hardware, a recurring analytics/reporting platform, and professional services spanning four-week surveys through to global enterprise installations for corporate and public sector clients.

Product overview

Abintra offers a unified workspace management platform built around its proprietary Wisenet™ sensor technology. The portfolio consists of Wisenet™ Occupancy Sensors (desk sensors, meeting room sensors, people counters) and Wisenet™ Environmental Sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, light, noise, CO2, and air quality. These hardware products feed into a data reporting and analytics platform that transforms raw sensor data into actionable intelligence. The system integrates with scheduling tools, building automation, lighting controls, and BI platforms via a powerful API. Abintra provides end-to-end services including initial assessment, sensor deployment, and ongoing data collection and analysis. The company was founded in 2001 and pioneered the world's first proprietary desk sensor, maintaining nearly 100% client retention while serving major corporations worldwide.

Functional benefit

Brands

• Wisenet™: Proprietary sensor technology range for occupancy and environmental monitoring in workspaces, including desk sensors, meeting room sensors, and environmental sensors measuring temperature, humidity, light, air quality, CO2, and noise.

Products and services

• Wisenet™ Occupancy Sensor Range Purpose-built Passive Infrared occupancy sensor range covering desk sensors (with configurable detection range and angle), meeting room sensors tracking seat utilisation, and ceiling-mounted people counters for soft seating and other non-standard spaces. Operates wirelessly on its own frequency without requiring network connection, providing continuous real-time occupancy data for corporate, public sector, and higher education workplaces.
• Wisenet™ Environmental Sensor Range Multi-parameter environmental monitoring devices reporting on temperature, humidity, light, noise, CO2, particulate matter, and air quality for workspace environments. Temperature sensing is included as standard in occupancy sensors and the range can operate independently or integrate with smart building systems for adaptive workplace management.
• Wisenet™ Analytics and Reporting Platform Cloud-based analytics software that collects real-time sensor data on occupancy and environmental conditions and transforms it into actionable workplace intelligence. Provides pattern, trend, and correlation analysis, integrates with scheduling, BI, lighting, and building automation systems via a powerful API, and supports scheduling integration for automated check-in/out and correlation of bookings with actual usage.
• Workspace Monitoring Service End-to-end professional service combining proprietary hardware deployment with intelligent reporting and ongoing support. Engagements range from four-week surveys on a single office floor (used as an entry point) through to global permanent enterprise-wide installations across multiple offices, including initial assessment, sensor deployment, data analysis, and ongoing support for clients such as Aon, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Deloitte, Accenture, BP, EDF, Tesco, Transport for London, NHS Scotland, and others.

Emerging players

• COWORKR: COWORKR offers plug-and-play occupancy sensors and a cloud dashboard for shared spaces and enterprise offices. Overlaps with Abintra on desk-level occupancy measurement, but with a more SMB-leaning, self-serve positioning.
• iOFFICE: iOFFICE (SpaceIQ) provides integrated workplace experience, space management, and occupancy analytics software. Competes with Abintra's analytics platform for mid-market and enterprise facility team buyers, with a SaaS-first delivery model.

Direct peers

• Basking: Basking delivers office occupancy analytics using ceiling-mounted sensors and cloud software, similar to Abintra's Wisenet desk and meeting room sensors. Targets the same enterprise real estate and facilities management buyer.
• Density: Density builds occupancy and people-counting sensors for workplaces and is referenced by Abintra in its competitive positioning. Both compete for enterprise real estate teams needing accurate utilization data, though Density leans on depth sensors while Abintra uses passive infrared.
• Locatee: Locatee (now part of Yolean) provides workplace analytics including occupancy, utilization, and space planning intelligence. Competes with Abintra's data analytics layer for real estate portfolio optimization decisions.
• Verge Sense: Verge Sense provides workplace occupancy sensors and analytics, with computer vision-based hardware and a SaaS analytics platform. Competes head-to-head with Abintra for corporate workplace experience and real estate optimization budgets.

Others

• Steelcase (Workplace Advisor): Steelcase's Workplace Advisor provides occupancy and environmental sensing tied to furniture and space planning. Adjacent peer that overlaps with Abintra's environmental monitoring use case and shares mutual enterprise customers (Steelcase appears on Abintra's customer logo wall).

Broad incumbents

• Comfy (Siemens): Comfy, part of Siemens Smart Infrastructure, offers workplace experience and occupancy-based building control software. Competes with Abintra's integration story into HVAC/lighting, but as part of a much broader building automation portfolio.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell provides occupancy sensing and building analytics as part of its broader BMS portfolio. Competes with Abintra for the same corporate real estate budgets but offers integrated lighting, HVAC, and security suites.
• JLL (Technology / Kastle): JLL provides workplace technology and occupancy analytics (including via Kastle) for corporate occupiers. Competes with Abintra for hybrid work strategy and portfolio optimization engagements, bundled with broader real estate advisory services.
