Coronet Carolina's 2019 Innovation of the Year. Congratulations, Waveguide and Compass Group.
The Waveguide Utilization and Wellness Analytics Tool, I think that is a pretty good descriptor of what it does. It helps you understand how you can utilize your space more effectively, but also from a wellness standpoint. to help promote wellness in the workplace.
What was so innovative about this tool was we went from idea to implementation in 4 weeks. It was very cost-effective. We were able to use Waveguide, who is a part of Compass Group, as an internal service provider. It was way beyond my expectations.
It's a collaborative area. We want everybody to come in and be able to collaborate and to have all the different we spaces to go to versus me space. So that's, that's the future. The technology helps us get there because again, we have the powerful data that's going to show us who is coming into the office, where they're going, what they're doing, their behaviors.
We knew we had a lot of enterprises with a lot of disparate data sources, and we wanted reporting that combined those data sources. Made it really simple to then add badge data from Compass and make that work here. There's always another question to be asked of the data, so what we do is just make it easy to, to ask those questions and get the answers quickly.
Congratulations, Waveguide and Compass Group, the Cornet Carolina's 2019 Innovation of the Year!
