PointGrab joins the OpenAV Cloud initiative
Advancing Data Freedom and Integration Across the Intelligent Workspace
In today’s connected workplace, real-time data is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Facility managers and enterprise leaders need to act on how space is actually used, not on what calendars or assumptions suggest. That’s why PointGrab is proud to join the OpenAV Cloud initiative, a nonprofit alliance of technology providers working together to build a more open, interoperable digital ecosystem for the smart workplace.
Data Without Borders: Why Integration Matters
For too long, workspace technologies—like sensors, AV equipment and platforms—have lived in silos or required proprietary integration. These closed environments restrict data flow, slow innovation, and force enterprises into rigid setups that can’t keep pace with dynamic workplace needs.
At PointGrab, we believe that real occupant and asset owner value comes from true occupancy behavior, delivered in real-time and connected seamlessly to any system that depends on it. Whether it’s adjusting AV settings, triggering demand-based cleaning, or eliminating ghost meetings in booking systems, our data must flow freely across applications to be fully effective.
Joining OpenAV Cloud is a natural extension of our mission: enabling intelligent workspaces with real data that works across the workplace ecosystem.
Open by Design: Our Commitments
As a member of the OpenAV Cloud initiative, PointGrab reaffirms several core principles we’ve always built into our solution:
Open APIs – Our Sensor Data System is designed from the ground up for integration with workplace platforms, booking systems, IWMS, digital signage and any other.
True Data – Our occupancy data is accurate (>95%), real-time, and granular—enabling automated actions that actually reflect real usage.
Data Ownership – Our customers retain full control of their data. There are no barriers to accessing, exporting, or connecting it across applications.
Security and Privacy – With fully anonymized data and ISO 27001 certified sensor-cloud infrastructure, privacy and protection are non-negotiable.
Ecosystem Enablement – We already integrate with over 35 platforms and applications—and we’re doubling down on this with OpenAV Cloud.
Real Impact, Real-Time
Picture this: A hybrid employee checks in late in the afternoon for a meeting room, only to find it’s been empty for hours due to a no-show. Meanwhile, the HVAC was running at full blast and the AV was left on, in an unused meeting room. PointGrab data corrects this—in real time—by powering systems that automatically release, reassign, or deactivate resources based on actual usage.
Now imagine that same data is enabling AI-driven workflows across platforms—powering cleaning rounds automation, air quality adjustment, or energy efficient AV mode across a global real estate portfolio. That’s the kind of cross-platform orchestration the OpenAV Cloud initiative makes possible, and that’s the kind of future PointGrab is here to build.
Join Us in Building the Intelligent Workspace of the Future
PointGrab has long advocated for an open interoperable future in the workplace. We’re excited to join forces with other heavyweight in the AV industry who share our belief in data openness, customer freedom, and innovation without lock-in.
The future of intelligent workspace isn’t just about sensors or software—it’s about systems that talk to each other and act on what’s real.
