What Occupeye does
OccupEye is a workplace occupancy and environmental sensing technology provider whose core offering consists of passive infrared IoT sensors that detect occupancy and capture environmental data — temperature, noise, light, air pressure, and air quality. The sensors communicate via radio frequencies that do not interfere with Wi-Fi or existing IT networks, enabling installation without IT involvement and reducing deployment friction. Real-time sensor data is visualized in an analytics dashboard that supports utilization analysis from the portfolio level down to individual desks, addressing the problem of underutilized office space in a hybrid-work environment.
OccupEye was acquired by FM:Systems as part of Asure Software's Workspace Management Portfolio of Products in 2024, and FM:Systems itself was subsequently acquired by Johnson Controls. As a result, OccupEye now operates as a hardware product line within the FM:Systems OpenBlue platform rather than as an independent company. The integrated suite spans OpenBlue Workplace (IWMS — space, facility, asset, real estate, and maintenance management), OpenBlue Employee (desk booking, room scheduling, visitor management), and OpenBlue Insights (portfolio, utilization, booking, and sensor analytics).
The commercial model combines subscription software licensing, hardware sales of the sensors, and professional services for implementation. Pricing is quote-based, sold through a consultative enterprise field sales motion with a partner/reseller channel. Customers span corporate/enterprise, government, higher education, finance, healthcare, and technology sectors, with FM:Systems reporting a global base of 1,200+ customers. Awards include the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (2022), G2 High Performer for IWMS (2024), FeaturedCustomers Market Leader (2024), SelectHub Analyst Pick (2024), PropTech Breakthrough (2024), Great User Experience (2021), and Facilities.net Vision Award (2020).

Occupeye product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Occupeye provides IoT-based workplace occupancy detection sensors and multi-function environmental monitoring devices for commercial real estate and facility management. Its passive infrared sensors capture real-time occupancy and utilization data along with temperature, noise, light, air pressure, and air quality readings, communicating via radio frequencies that do not interfere with Wi-Fi. The sensor data feeds cloud-based analytics dashboards that surface insights about underused spaces, supporting hybrid workplace and space optimization initiatives.
Product overview
OccupEye, now part of FM:Systems which is a subsidiary of Johnson Controls, operates as part of the OpenBlue platform suite. FM:Systems offers an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) organized around three main product lines: OpenBlue Workplace (core IWMS for facility management, space management, asset management, and sustainability), OpenBlue Employee (employee experience module for desk booking, room scheduling, and visitor management), and OpenBlue Insights (analytics and sensor data visualization). OccupEye's hardware technology—IoT occupancy sensors and environmental monitoring devices—was acquired by FM:Systems and integrated into the OpenBlue Insights product line, providing real-time occupancy detection and environmental sensing (temperature, noise, light, air quality) for workplace analytics. The platform supports multiple industries including corporate, finance, government, healthcare, higher education, and technology sectors.
