1. A flexible workspace system with real-time sensor feedback comprising:
a plurality of workstations established within a predetermined area, each workstation of the plurality of workstations including a substantially horizontal surface having an upper side and a lower side, wherein the plurality of workstations include a desk;
a presence sensor positioned at the lower side of each workstation, the presence sensor detecting a potential occupancy proximate an underside area below the lower side;
a workstation transmitter positioned at each workstation and coupled to the presence sensor, the workstation transmitter transmitting an occupancy signal based on the potential occupancy detected by the presence sensor;
a mobile device situated within the predetermined area, the mobile device detecting the occupancy signal transmitted by the workstation transmitter and transmitting a check-in signal based on the occupancy signal, and
an upstream device communicating with the mobile device, the upstream device associating a target workstation of the plurality of workstations with the mobile device based on the check-in signal.
