Proximetrix: Our Own Software Platform

Proximetrix is our software platform, built by Eco Drift. It integrates with wireless sensors installed throughout your building and delivers real-time occupancy, usage, and environmental data through a live dashboard. Cleaning and facilities decisions respond to what is actually happening in your building, not what a schedule assumed would happen.

Important distinction: Proximetrix is our software platform. The physical sensors are third-party hardware that integrates with our platform. We connect to wireless sensors. We did not manufacture the hardware. The intelligence, the dashboard, the data analysis - that is what we built.

A triathlete's obsession with measurable performance

Antoni Dimitrov is a triathlete. He trains daily and has done for years.

As a triathlete, you measure everything. Heart rate, power output, lactate threshold, core body temperature, recovery scores. You track marginal gains, the small and consistent improvements that compound over time, because you understand that data without analysis is noise. You cannot improve what you cannot measure.

That same thinking built Proximetrix.

If you can measure how a building breathes, when its washrooms are at peak demand, when CO₂ rises in a meeting room, when a corridor sits empty for three hours, you stop making decisions based on assumptions and start making them based on reality. Cleaning that responds to what is actually happening rather than to a schedule written on a spreadsheet.

Actionable data. Not noise.

Lakeside North Harbour, Portsmouth

One of the largest business campuses on the South Coast. 600,000 sq ft. 2,500+ people. Proximetrix has been live on site for multiple years.

Washroom A · Peak usage finding

45 minutes of labour saved per day

Proximetrix identified that Washroom A was seeing up to 600 people per day - almost twice the expected volume. The cleaning schedule was redesigned around the real data.

45 min Labour saved per day
in that one washroom alone

No additional headcount. No additional cost. Occupier concerns resolved.

📅
Events Washroom · Spike detection

Extra event-day shifts eliminated entirely

Sensors identified usage spikes on event days that were not visible in any fixed schedule. Cleaning was aligned to actual demand, including dynamic restocking triggers.

Zero Product complaints
since Proximetrix deployed

Extra event-day shifts eliminated. Same standard, no overtime cost.

Full estate · Deployment scale

Live washroom data. One dashboard.

Proximetrix is currently deployed across washrooms at Lakeside North Harbour, with full campus deployment across all 43 washrooms and shower rooms planned for 2026. The estate management team have real-time visibility of cleaning status and occupancy in every monitored space.

67% → 92% KPI improvement
over the contract period

Client: Portsmouth City Council (current owner). Three ownership changes. One cleaning partner.

"Here at Lakeside we continue to transform the workplace experience by introducing smart technologies that enhance cleanliness, responsiveness, and comfort across the campus. These innovations are being delivered in partnership with Eco Drift Commercial Cleaning, using their proprietary Proximetrix platform, a real-time sensor and data system custom-built to improve hygiene and operational efficiency without increasing costs."

Eight data streams. One live dashboard.

Proximetrix, our software platform, connects to wireless sensors covering every dimension of building performance - from washroom occupancy to air quality to water leak detection.

Every data stream feeds a single dashboard accessible to you and your facilities team in real time, 24 hours a day.

Free 14-30 day audit available. We install sensors, monitor real usage, then remove everything. No cost. No obligation. Request your free audit →

Washroom and space occupancy

Usage frequency and peak times. Triggers cleaning when actual demand requires it, not when a clock says so.

CO₂ and air quality

Meeting rooms and occupied spaces. Elevated CO₂ impairs cognitive function. Proximetrix alerts you before it affects your people.

Motion detection

Presence and movement patterns throughout your building. Identifies spaces that need more or less attention.

Desk and space occupancy

Designed for hybrid working environments where actual desk use rarely matches a fixed booking system.

Water leak detection

Plantrooms, basements, and low-access areas. Early warning before a small leak becomes a major incident.

Door and window alerts

Unauthorised access, security compliance, and ventilation monitoring in one sensor layer.

Consumables tracking

Dispensers and stock levels monitored in real time. Restocking triggered by actual usage, not by a fixed weekly schedule.

Compliance logging

Automated record of checks and cleaning events. Full audit trail for facilities management, health and safety, and CQC or OFSTED readiness.

400-800 ppm Outdoor / excellent ✓ Optimal
800-1200 ppm Typical meeting room Moderate impact
1200+ ppm Poor ventilation ✗ Impairs performance

CO₂ monitoring goes beyond ventilation compliance.

Research cited by high-performance practitioners including Steven Bartlett on the Diary of a CEO podcast shows that elevated CO₂ levels in meeting rooms directly impair cognitive function, decision-making, and sustained concentration.

Most facilities teams think of CO₂ monitoring as a compliance exercise. Proximetrix treats it as a performance tool. When levels rise in a meeting room, your facilities team is alerted before it affects your people's performance - not after someone notices the room feels stuffy.

"Monitoring CO₂ in a meeting room is not about compliance. It is about performance. As a triathlete who tracks heart rate, power output, VO2 max, perspiration, and recovery metrics daily, Antoni understands this connection instinctively. You cannot improve what you cannot measure. That principle applies to human performance and to buildings in equal measure."

Antoni explains the link between CO2 levels and human cognitive performance.

Why cleaning in one dimension is not enough

Antoni Dimitrov, founder of Eco Drift, explains CO₂ monitoring, occupancy data, and the 4D approach to building performance. This is the thinking behind Proximetrix.

Free · No obligation · Sensors removed after audit

See how your building is actually used.

We offer a free, no-obligation Proximetrix Audit for selected business parks and large office buildings. Sensors are installed for 14 to 30 days, then removed. No cost. No commitment.

  • Sensors installed with no disruption to your building or operations
  • 14 to 30 days of live usage data monitored via our Proximetrix dashboard
  • Clear summary: usage patterns, demand peaks, and recommendations
  • Sensors removed. Insight retained. Decision is yours.

At Lakeside North Harbour, the first audit revealed a washroom was being used almost twice as frequently as expected. Standards improved. No additional cleaning hours added.
