About XY Sense

Back in 2005, our CEO and co-founder, Alex Birch, co-founded Serraview; a Workplace and Relocation Management SaaS platform which grew globally and was later acquired. Luke Murray, our co-founder and CTO led engineering and product efforts at Serraview and this launchpad into real estate tech brought our co-founders together. 

While servicing global workplace teams, Alex and Luke stumbled upon a game-changing realization: enterprise workplace experience managers were crying out for insights into how their office space was actually being used.

After trialling existing solutions for measuring office occupancy and space utilization on the market and finding them lacking (e.g. too expensive, tracking devices not people, inaccurate data or prohibitively expensive), Alex and Luke envisaged a better way. 

In 2016, they founded XY Sense to simplify the capture and application of workplace utilization data. XY Sense officially launched in July 2020 having spent more than three years in stealth mode perfecting their next- generation occupancy sensor and workplace analytics solution.  

What began as a vision to reveal how office space was really being used has grown into a global workplace intelligence platform, trusted by some of the world’s largest enterprises.

Our privacy-first, AI-powered sensors, rich analytics and live occupancy data pipelines give corporate real estate and workplace teams the insights they need to cut CRE costs, boost building performance, and create offices employees love coming back to.

With offices in Australia, the US, UK, and India, and deployments across 30+ countries, XY Sense is helping organizations worldwide transform how they plan, manage, and optimize their workplaces – turning real-time occupancy into real-world impact.
