VergeSense

VergeSense is a workplace analytics company founded in 2017 by Dan Ryan and Kelby Green, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States. It was built to help large enterprises and real estate teams decide how much office space they actually need and how it should be laid out, replacing guesswork with data on how space is really used.

Its Meridian platform combines occupancy sensors, Wi-Fi, videoconferencing, and booking-system data with a spatial model trained on more than 250 million square feet of real-world usage collected over eight years, letting customers generate space-demand forecasts from a floor plan alone before installing hardware. VergeSense reports the platform is used by more than 200 enterprises across over 50 countries, including BP, Cisco, Autodesk, and HP, to plan lease decisions, redesigns, and headcount changes.

1. Occupancy sensing: hardware sensors that measure real-time space utilization.

2. Data integration: combines sensor, Wi-Fi, videoconferencing, and booking-system signals.

3. Predictive planning: forecasts the space impact of headcount or policy changes in advance.

4. Sensor-free forecasting: generates demand estimates from a floor plan using its spatial model.

5. Scenario modeling: compares redesign and stack-planning options side by side.

6. Portfolio right-sizing: supports lease-renewal and consolidation decisions across a portfolio.
