VergeSense: Revolutionizing Workplace Efficiency with Occupancy Intelligence

In today’s world, understanding how workspaces are used is more important than ever. With hybrid work becoming the norm, companies need to make sure their office spaces are used efficiently. VergeSense is at the forefront of this movement, helping organizations make the best use of their spaces. Here’s how VergeSense is changing the game.

The Power of Occupancy Intelligence

VergeSense is pioneering the occupancy intelligence movement. In simple terms, this means using data to understand how and when spaces are used. This helps real estate, workplace, and facilities teams optimize their spaces and support modern ways of working. With hybrid work here to stay, CFOs want a good return on every dollar spent, and employees expect a commute-worthy office experience. VergeSense provides the tools to make this happen.

“Today’s work environments need a new approach—one that helps organizations gain an understanding of what’s actually happening in spaces so they can optimize with confidence,” says the VergeSense Team.

Unique Facts and Milestones

VergeSense has many interesting stories and achievements. For instance, their Occupancy Intelligence Platform offers insights and analytics on occupancy data. Over 200 enterprise customers like Cisco, Autodesk, and BP use VergeSense to evaluate their spaces. This platform helps these companies make data-driven decisions and improve their office designs.

In May of this year, VergeSense introduced Workplace Assistant, powered by generative AI. This tool provides occupancy data analysis and space optimization recommendations tailored to customers’ needs within minutes—a process that traditionally takes weeks or months.

“Workplace Assistant combines the capabilities of a real estate strategist, workplace experience, and occupancy analyst, allowing organizations to capitalize on opportunities for improvement,” says the VergeSense Team.

Real-World Success Stories

VergeSense has helped many companies solve their workspace challenges. For example, a biotechnology company wanted to understand how their flexible seating model impacted space use. By analyzing space efficiency and tracking both active and passive occupancy, the company was able to avoid $13 million annually in expansion costs while increasing space availability and improving the employee experience.

Another example is a big three consulting firm that faced space availability challenges in its New York office. VergeSense’s analysis showed that 40% of 10,400 booking hours were ghosted. By using VergeSense’s tools, the firm was able to avoid $50,000 per month by freeing up available space and eliminating ghosted meeting space.

Integration with Microsoft Places

VergeSense recently announced an integration with Microsoft Places, an AI-powered app that helps coordinate employees’ office activities. This collaboration brings together real-time space usage data from VergeSense with the connected workplace abilities of Microsoft Places. This helps organizations optimize office spaces and increase space availability for employees.

“We’re excited to collaborate with VergeSense to bring their expertise in occupancy intelligence to the work we’re doing with Microsoft Places in order to improve the digital and physical spaces of our customers,” said Kerry Perez Heffernan, Director of Workplace Applications at Microsoft.

Conclusion

VergeSense is leading the way in helping organizations make the most of their office spaces. By using occupancy intelligence, they provide the data and tools needed to create efficient, cost-effective work environments. Whether through their Occupancy Intelligence Platform or their new Workplace Assistant, VergeSense is making a significant impact on how companies manage their workspaces.

“VergeSense solutions are making an impact on customers around the world,” says the VergeSense Team. “Ours is not a story about sensors but about our effort to help more organizations use data to make decisions that enhance workplace efficiency, optimize costs, and improve the employee experience.”
