VergeSense

VergeSense offers the world’s first Occupancy Intelligence Platform™, which includes two primary solutions:

1. Occupancy Intelligence for Portfolio Optimization:
   • Helps real estate leaders reduce costs by identifying underutilized spaces.
   • Enables fact-based decisions on scaling office space up or down.

   • Provides insights comparable to badge or WiFi systems but with up to twice the accuracy.

      

2. Occupancy Intelligence for Space Optimization:
   • Designed for workplace teams to improve employee experience while reducing operational costs.
   • Tracks both active and passive occupancy (e.g., detecting objects like laptops or bags).
   • Supports space planning, cleaning schedules, and real-time workspace availability.

Key Features:

• AI-powered sensors for real-time data collection.
• Integration with over 50 workplace technology platforms (e.g., JLL, SpaceIQ, Planon).
• Dashboards offering insights on space utilization, peak attendance, and return-to-office trends.
• New tools like the Workplace Assistant (powered by generative AI) for personalized recommendations.

While VergeSense has not announced any acquisitions as of now, it continues to expand its product offerings through strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Cisco, Autodesk, BP, JLL, CBRE, Schneider Electric, and others. These collaborations enhance its ability to provide end-to-end solutions for workplace optimization.

VergeSense recent innovations include:

• Workplace Design Dashboards: Provide insights into the efficiency of different space types.
• Kiosk Lite: Enables employees to find available workspaces using real-time occupancy data.
• Enhanced "Signs of Life" technology: Detects passive occupancy (e.g., items left on desks) for more accurate utilization metrics.
• Generative AI-powered Workplace Assistant: Offers tailored recommendations based on unique space usage patterns.

VergeSense emphasizes a strong culture driven by five core values:

1. Lead with empathy.
2. Communicate with high bandwidth (clear and effective communication).
3. Just get started (proactive problem-solving).
4. Be customer-obsessed.

5. Deliver quality results.
