Sensat has always been designed to empower project teams with an easy-to-use platform for seamless collaboration. Now, you can stay in control of your project data and collaboration with our latest platform update—a complete redesign paired with powerful new features like Workspaces, Content Manager,  and enhanced access controls.

Workspaces bring together data, collaboration, and communication in a single, visual platform to drive effective project delivery. With shared workspaces, teams can track progress, manage tasks, and hit project milestones with clarity and confidence.

Why Workspaces is an upgrade for infrastructure teams

Before we dive into how Workspaces transforms project delivery, let’s explore the real challenges infrastructure teams face—and why a new approach to collaboration and data management is essential.

Infrastructure projects today are more complex than ever, with teams grappling with fragmented data and disconnected workflows. For project managers, Tier 1 contractors, and consultants, keeping infrastructure projects on track often feels like an uphill battle. At Sensat, we believe technology should make this easier, not harder.

One of the biggest challenges our customers face is getting up to speed quickly—seeing only the data that matters to them, while ensuring security and control over their information.

That’s why we built Workspaces.

Workspaces, our latest platform feature, transforms how infrastructure projects are delivered. Purpose-built for the industry, Workspaces creates safe, collaborative environments where users can access curated views with selected data layers. The result? Information that’s accessible, actionable, and available to everyone who needs it—without the usual noise.

Simplifying the complex: Why Workspaces matters

Infrastructure projects generate enormous amounts of data from multiple sources—site photos, designs, site plans, contextual layers, and environmental surveys. Yet, too often, this data is siloed and scattered across different systems, creating three critical challenges:

  • Lost efficiency – Teams waste time sifting through information, struggling to find the right data when they need it.
  • Delayed decisions – Disconnected data makes timely, informed decision-making difficult, jeopardising project timelines.
  • Misaligned teams – Without a centralised, real-time collaboration space, teams and stakeholders can easily fall out of sync.

These inefficiencies add up—missed milestones, cost overruns, and unnecessary rework. Workspaces changes that by reducing friction in workflows and making project data more intuitive to use.

Meet Workspaces: Built for the industry

Workspaces introduces a modern, intuitive, and highly visual way to interact with infrastructure project data. Unlike traditional systems that can feel rigid and complex, Workspaces provides a flexible, structured approach—bringing clarity to project teams without overwhelming them. It’s not just another tool—it’s a game-changer for how teams collaborate, manage data, and make decisions.

What makes Workspaces unique?

  1. Curated data views – Teams can customise Workspaces to show only the most relevant data layers, cutting through the noise and making decision-making easier.
  2. Real-time collaboration – Connect distributed teams and external stakeholders with confidence, ensuring everyone works with up-to-date, reliable information.
  3. Enhanced access controls – Data controllers can define different access levels for data layers, maintaining security while enabling seamless collaboration.
  4. Modern, user-friendly experience – A redesigned, intuitive interface lowers the learning curve, so new users can jump in without extensive training or concerns about ‘breaking’ anything.

Designed to deliver real results

Workspaces isn’t just another tool—it’s a solution designed to drive real impact:

  • Save time – Spend less time chasing down data, piecing together information from multiple sources, or collating reports—and more time focusing on project outcomes.
  • Make smarter decisions – Work with a single source of truth, helping you move quickly and with confidence.
  • Collaborate better – Reduce miscommunication and keep teams aligned with a single, centralised workspace.
  • Boost adoption – An easy-to-use platform reduces resistance to new technology and empowers teams to get started immediately.

Transforming project delivery

Workspaces is more than just a new feature—it’s part of our commitment to making infrastructure project delivery smarter, faster, and more collaborative. By solving the root causes of inefficiency, we’re giving teams the clarity they need to deliver projects on time, reduce costs, and work more effectively.
