Turning IoT data into intelligent action for a global technology leader.
How mpro5 helps Cisco Meraki’s facilities team streamline operations, enhance energy efficiency and maintain a healthy, productive environment at their San Francisco headquarters.
When Cisco Meraki approached mpro5 through their partner ecosystem, they had a wealth of sensor data but no way to act on it.
What began as a facilities management challenge evolved into a smart building solution, combining Cisco Meraki’s MT sensor network with mpro5’s workflow automation to give their team complete visibility and control over every space in their headquarters.
Together, we built a data-driven platform that turns environmental readings into real-time actions, keeping Cisco Meraki’s building clean and compliant without unnecessary disruption.
The Challenge
The facilities team at Cisco Meraki’s San Francisco headquarters had invested in a powerful IoT sensor network, but lacked the tools to turn that data into meaningful action.
Without a smart workflow layer, it was difficult to:
- Direct cleaning staff to rooms based on actual need rather than guesswork
- Monitor multiple environmental factors across the building in one place
- Respond automatically to threshold breaches before they became costly problems
The existing dashboard could only display one sensor at a time, leaving critical gaps in visibility.
Cleaners were attending rooms without knowing their specific requirements and managers had no reliable way to track conditions across the building.
THE SOLUTION
Working closely with Cisco Meraki, mpro5 integrated with their MT sensor network to build a unified facility management platform that monitors environmental conditions and ensures the team can respond fast.
How mpro5 Helped Cisco Meraki:
- Usage-triggered workflows: A cleaning task is automatically raised after every 10 door openings, ensuring rooms are attended only when genuinely needed.
- Unified environmental monitoring: A custom mpro5 dashboard surfaces real-time readings for air quality, TVOC levels, temperature, humidity and occupancy.
- Automated alerts and thresholds: Customisable alerts notify the right teams the moment a reading exceeds safe limits.
- False alarm reduction: By detecting patterns and anomalies across sensor data, mpro5 helps maintenance and IT teams focus only on genuine issues.
The results
Combining Meraki’s MT sensors with mpro5’s automation has delivered measurable improvements across the facility:
- Cleaning workflows triggered by real usage data, eliminating unnecessary room visits
- Real-time visibility across occupancy, air quality, temperature, humidity and more
- Reduced false alarms, freeing up maintenance and IT resource
- Proactive climate control in critical IDF rooms, protecting equipment and personnel
- Substantial cost savings through smarter energy and resource management
Cisco Meraki’s facilities team can now focus on high-value work, while mpro5 ensures that environmental standards and operational workflows run automatically in the background.
THE IMPACT
The Cisco Meraki and mpro5 partnership demonstrates what becomes possible when IoT investment is paired with intelligent workflow automation.
By combining Cisco Meraki’s sensor network with mpro5’s platform, the facilities team have moved from reactive guesswork to proactive, data-driven management.
They’re reducing costs, improving efficiency and creating a healthier environment for every employee.
Together, we’re proving that smarter buildings start with smarter systems.
