That’s because this technology remains the best-case solution when it comes to balancing both privacy and efficiency.

Our CEO James Wu shared the stage with an expert panel at the latest Realcomm webinar focused on workplace analytics for the future of work and the hybrid office.

Outdoors, when walking, driving or cycling, apps have replaced paper maps when it comes to figuring out where we are in relation to where we are going. GPS technology is omnipresent – except when it comes to the indoors. In offices, malls, museums and airports, it doesn’t work.  In the past 10 years, indoor location technologies have emerged to tackle this problem.

There’s no question that real estate in cities around the world is, well, expensive. Of all the line items impacting a business, real estate is one of the most pressing – and one over which companies often have the least amount of control.

Anyone who’s worked in an office can attest to the fact that meetings can sometimes be a waste of time. But as it turns out, trying to find space to even hold a meeting can be wasteful on a far greater level.

This past week has been a blur! The global tech community had their eyes on Toronto as Collision marked its first year in our gorgeous city.
