Metrikus now integrates with Microsoft 365: spot ghost meetings and cut wasted costs

We’re excited to announce that we’ve completed an integration with Microsoft 365.

You can connect your calendars straight into the new version of the Metrikus platform – opening up new ways to compare booking data with your existing workplace data. This gives you a clear view of which rooms are actually being used and helps you save money on empty spaces.

Why have we integrated with Microsoft 365?

At Metrikus, we’re all about helping you get more from the data you already have. Our platform already provides a lot of valuable data on how your buildings operate:

• Occupancy – how many people are actually in a space
• Energy – how much power is being consumed
• Indoor air quality – how healthy the environment is

By layering this with booking data, you can go one step further: comparing what was scheduled against what really happened.

How does it work?

You’ll be able to connect your Microsoft 365 calendars directly into the Metrikus platform.

Bookings sync automatically, giving you a single view of booking data alongside real-time occupancy, energy, and indoor air quality.

It’s quick to set up, simple to manage, and immediately unlocks new insights – all without requiring new hardware.

What are the benefits for you?

1. Optimize space utilization

By comparing booking data with actual occupancy, you can get a much clearer picture of how your spaces are being used and identify opportunities to make improvements.

• Identify underused or overbooked rooms to understand actual demand and adjust your meeting room portfolio accordingly
• Track no-shows and ghost bookings to see how often spaces go unused and take action to reduce wasted capacity
• Spot mismatches between room size and group size – for example, large rooms booked for small groups or small rooms booked for large teams – and adjust usage to better fit needs

2. Improve productivity and wellbeing

Environmental factors like CO₂, VOCs, temperature, and humidity can have a big impact on employee comfort, wellbeing and productivity.

Combining this data with bookings allows you to see how these conditions influence which spaces employees use.

• Correlate indoor air quality and thermal comfort with booking patterns to identify issues that may affect usage
• Make improvements to environmental conditions and communicate updates to employees
• Share insights transparently to build trust and help employees feel confident when booking spaces

3. Increase efficiency 

Unused spaces still consume energy and require cleaning, and understanding actual usage helps you reduce waste and improve efficiency.

• Quantify the cost of unused rooms and no-show meetings
• Reduce unnecessary cleaning and energy use in empty spaces
• Encourage better booking habits across your organization

What’s coming next?

The integration has been designed to extend to other calendar systems (e.g. Google Calendar, Webex) and third-party booking platforms. We’re also working on proactive alerts via Microsoft Teams.

Our mission is simple: help you use the data you already have to save money, improve efficiency, and create a better workplace experience. The Microsoft 365 integration is a big step forward – and we can’t wait for you to start using it.
