Capture Real-World Space Utilization
- An anonymous count, room by room: people walking the corridor are not counted.
- No personally identifiable information ever leaves the sensor: it counts people, it never identifies them.

Optimizing Space, Elevating Academics
Quodus.ai turns space inefficiencies into academic opportunities by uniting real-world usage data with the timetable in your SIS or scheduling software, for truly actionable insights.

How we transform institutions
Bridging the gap between plan and reality
- We integrate the timetable that already lives in your SIS, scheduling or timetabling software.
- It automatically detects the gaps between the plan (the timetable) and reality (the occupancy readings).
- Unused bookings, partly used bookings and use nobody planned all surface on their own.
The right information for every role
- Role-based reports with granular permissions, from the provost to a dean or a facilities lead.
- Bespoke reports, built around the specific challenges each institution faces.
- Evidence for decisions on growth and CAPEX, academic challenges and space utilization.
Driving continuous improvement
- We co-design leaner processes wherever the data shows the friction is.
- We supply the objective evidence that lets internal policy move on with consensus.
- Academic planning grounded in real data, from allocating resources to whether a program is viable.

An X-ray of your timetable. Quodus compares what you planned with what actually happened, hour by hour and room by room. It brings out the opportunities the plan alone keeps hidden.

Two ways to measure a campus one platform
Planned use and free use are not two products. Most institutions run both, in the same building, often on the same floor. What changes is what gets measured and who the answer is for.
Two readings of the same campus
Planned use
Spaces with academic timetabling behind them.
The challenges this answers
- Space booked that nobody needed
- Planning errors
- Sessions that do not happen where or when they were planned
Free use
Spaces used without any timetabling behind them.
The challenges this answers
- Overcrowded spaces
- Seats held without being used
- No information in real time
We count room by room, seat by seat
One sensor on the ceiling of each space is the whole installation: it counts what is underneath it and nothing else. Three kinds of space ask three different questions, so there are three ways of measuring.
- Every space has its own reading
- No app, no phone, nothing to carry
Classrooms, laboratories, seminar rooms
How many people are in the room?
A people-counting sensor on the ceiling returns one number for the whole room, every time it reads it.
Libraries, study rooms
Which desks are taken?
A desk-occupancy sensor over a shared table reads each place on its own: actively used, with somebody sitting there; passively used, with a laptop or notes on the desk and nobody at it; or free.
Offices and staff spaces
Is the space in use?
A motion sensor gives an office the one answer it needs: whether it is in use or free.
Energy efficiency
40% of the hours the AC runs, the room is empty.
The sensors that count your rooms can run their air conditioning too: off when a room empties, on before each class. Through your BMS, your AC system's web panel or our API.

Our Scheduling Integrations
We integrate with all major Higher-Ed SIS, scheduling and timetabling systems, and with any other through an API, a database, a shared file or a spreadsheet, so your scheduling data is always up to date.

One count, every office
Each office that decides on space asks the rooms a different question. Pick yours.
Which programs use the space they're given?
Every school and program side by side: sessions held, attendance, and how full their rooms are.
How do I make the case for more space?
Your school's sessions, attendance and room use, so a request for space arrives with the measurements behind it.
Which bookings never happen?
Slots never held, canceled courses still in the SIS, unrecorded room changes: each becomes a task to fix the timetable.
Do we need another building?
How many classrooms are in use at the busiest hour of the week, against how many you own.
Which rooms fit the groups in them?
How often each room is used and how full it gets, room by room across the campus.
Which rooms are we heating empty?
The hours each room had anyone in it, so HVAC, lighting and cleaning can follow real occupancy.
What Our Clients Say
"The University of West Timisoara successfully implemented the space optimization project with over 430 spaces in just two weeks. Quodus managed the entire deployment process smoothly. We were impressed by their ability to work during the academic year, even coordinating night shifts, to ensure minimal disruption to our operations."
