Answer “how does this affect our commute?” with a number.
ScoutSpace calculates exact drive-times from every employee to every property you're weighing — in traffic and out — so your client can compare options against each other and against today, and see precisely who a move helps and who it hurts.

The commute is the softest number in the biggest decision.
Location drives talent, retention, and cost — but the commute impact is usually a guess. When the data lives in someone's head instead of a comparison, the hardest part of the decision gets the least rigor.
“How will this affect the team?” — and you're guessing.
Your client asks how a move will hit their people, and you're stuck guessing. “About 20 minutes” isn't an answer a CFO signs off on — and without real numbers, the commute conversation stalls the whole decision.
A commute comparison no spreadsheet can hold.
Three buildings, a roster of employees, two traffic scenarios. Trying to compare commutes in a spreadsheet means a tab per address and a formula you'll never trust — so the comparison never really gets made.
The people hit hardest stay invisible.
Move the office and a handful of people suddenly have an hour each way. If you can't see who, you can't get ahead of it — and the retention risk only surfaces after the lease is signed.
From a roster of addresses to a clear answer in three steps.
Add your client's employee addresses and the locations you're comparing — including their current office. ScoutSpace uses the Google Directions API to calculate exact driving distance and time from every employee to every address, in traffic and free-flow.
See the share of the team within 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes of each location, side by side. Compare aggregate drive-times and total commute miles across every option, and against where the team sits today — net positive or net negative, in plain numbers.
Drill into any individual to see their drive-time to every option and their best-commute location. Isolate the employees a move affects most, quantify the trade-off, and walk your client into the decision with the commute case already made.
Turn the commute question into hard numbers.
One analysis takes the commute from the softest part of the decision to the most defensible.
Every location, side by side, in one matrix.
Pull every option into one matrix and compare them apples to apples — aggregate drive-times, total commute miles, and how each location stacks up against the others and against where the team sits today. The trade-off stops being a hunch and becomes a number.
From team-wide bands down to one employee.
See what share of the team can reach each location within 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes — then drill all the way down to a single employee, their drive-time to every option, and which address gives them their best commute. Pinpoint exactly who a move helps and who it hurts.
Real roads, real traffic, real numbers.
Every calculation runs in traffic and free-flow, powered by the Google Directions API for real driving distances and times — not straight-line estimates. Your client sees the commute as their people will actually experience it, rush hour included.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the drive-times?
ScoutSpace uses the Google Directions API to calculate exact driving distances and times from every employee's home to every location you're comparing — not straight-line approximations. Every result is shown both in traffic and free-flow.
Can I compare options against our current office?
Yes. Add your current location to the comparison and ScoutSpace shows whether each option is a net positive or negative for the team's commute — in aggregate and employee by employee — so you can quantify the trade-off before signing a lease.
Can I see drive-times for individual employees?
Start with time bands — the percentage of the team within 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes of each location — then drill into any individual to see their drive-time to every option and their best-commute address. It surfaces exactly which employees a move affects most.
