Discover how workstatt, one of Germany’s leading office solutions providers, partnered with CTHINGS.CO to transform traditional office spaces into intelligent environments.
Data-driven decision-making is key to building efficient, flexible, and sustainable office environments. One of Germany’s largest Steelcase retailers, workstatt, recognized this shift early. As a leader in high-end office solutions, their next strategic move was to integrate smart technology for real-time space monitoring—ushering in the era of the self-optimizing office.
workstatt needed a robust solution to measure space occupancy and analyze usage patterns throughout the day. The goal? Improve office layout design, enhance energy efficiency, and create a more comfortable, productive environment. Crucially, this system needed to be scalable, secure, and seamlessly integrate with their existing digital infrastructure.
Designed as a centralized IoT platform, Orchestra empowered workstatt to manage, monitor, and secure all their smart devices from one intuitive interface. With Zero-Trust Networking at its core, the platform ensured secure data handling—encrypting all communications and authenticating every device.
CTHINGS.CO deployed Edge IoT Gateways that collected real-time occupancy data from workstatt’s office spaces. These gateways connected directly to Orchestra, streamlining everything from device onboarding to data analysis. Thanks to Orchestra’s features, such as Containerized Application Lifecycle Management (CALM), deployment was completed within minutes—eliminating disruptions and accelerating access to actionable insights.
The outcome was clear: increased operational efficiency, reduced costs, and more intelligent use of space. Real-time asset tracking allowed businesses using workstatt’s platform to make smarter decisions on workspace allocation. The secure, scalable infrastructure laid a strong foundation for future expansion. As workstatt shared:
“Working with CTHINGS.CO has been absolutely amazing and flawless… We were able to integrate it into our product in a matter of minutes.”
The success of workstatt’s transformation is just one example of how CTHINGS.CO empowers integrators and businesses with scalable, future-ready IoT solutions. While smart office environments are one of many applications, our expertise spans across diverse sectors—from smart cities and Industry 4.0 to logistics, energy, and beyond.
