VergeSense today announced that it has reached profitability and is expanding Meridian, its Workplace AI Platform, to integrate workplace experience data. For the first time, occupiers can analyze experience and survey data alongside occupancy and planning data in one platform. Real estate and workplace leaders get one view of how their workplaces are used and how they are experienced, so they can make portfolio and workplace decisions with the full picture.
Profitability, reinvested in customers
VergeSense achieved positive EBITDA in its fiscal third quarter ended October 31, 2026.* The milestone gives the 200+ enterprise occupiers it serves across 50+ countries a durable, long-term partner for their most consequential real estate and workplace decisions. VergeSense is reinvesting that growth into its Meridian platform, starting with workplace experience measurement and followed by agentic AI capabilities that move occupiers from insight to action.
Meridian: one platform for every workplace signal
Meridian is now the connective layer for workplace data, bringing together sources that historically lived in separate systems. This year alone, VergeSense expanded Meridian to include:
- Occupancy data from video conferencing systems, through VergeSense’s membership in the Logitech Collaboration Program
- Third-party sensor data, so occupiers can leverage their existing sensor investments alongside data from VergeSense sensors
- Workplace and booking data from Microsoft Places, through an expanded integration
- AI-generated test fits, through a partnership with laiout that turns Predictive Planning forecasts into floor plan designs
- Integrated workplace management data, through a partnership with Spacewell
Workplace experience data is the next layer. It adds what no sensor, booking system or floor plan can capture on its own: how people feel about the spaces they use.
From how space is used to how it is experienced
Most enterprises now track how their offices are occupied. Far fewer know how well those spaces support the people using them. Legacy experience surveys are slow to run, one-size-fits-all, and disconnected from what happens on the floor, so experience and occupancy data live in separate reports, owned by separate teams.
Meridian closes that gap. Occupiers can bring in the experience surveys they already run, or measure experience directly with VergeSense, and see results alongside the occupancy data and planning forecasts in the same platform. The result pairs quantitative evidence of how space is used with qualitative insight into how well it works. This combination has not existed in a single platform before. Leaders can see not only which spaces are busy, but which ones help people do their best work, and use both when planning a consolidation, a redesign or a change to in-office policy.
A smarter Large Spatial Model
The Large Spatial Model, trained on workplace behavior across more than 250 million square feet, powers Meridian’s forecasting and Predictive Planning capabilities. Each new data source, from video conferencing devices and third-party sensors to booking systems and now workplace experience, expands what the model can learn, and makes the platform more capable. With experience data, the model can account for how space performs for people as well as how often it is used, so recommendations reflect both efficiency and effectiveness.
Workplace Science leadership from Leesman
The offering is led by two of the industry’s best known workplace experience thought leaders, who join VergeSense from Leesman. Peggie Rothe joins as VP of Workplace Science and Kyle de Bruin as GM of Workplace Science. During their years at Leesman, they helped build one of the world’s largest workplace experience databases, covering more than 1.6 million employees across 10,000+ workplaces in 124 countries. They now bring that knowledge to VergeSense to connect how workplaces are designed and used with how well they support the people in them.
“Reaching profitability means we can make long-term bets on what our customers need most,” said Dan Ryan, CEO and co-founder of VergeSense. “Knowing how space is used was never the whole answer. By bringing experience data into Meridian, we’re giving occupiers the full picture, so they can make decisions that are right for both their businesses and their people.”
Built on planning results occupiers already trust
Experience data strengthens Predictive Planning, the Meridian capability that lets occupiers test lease, design, headcount and policy changes before they commit to decisions. Recent results from occupiers include:
- Deferring a $10M+ build-out. A global professional services firm was preparing to build out shell floors based on projected headcount growth. Three months of data showed workstations were less than half full even on the busiest days, giving the firm the evidence to defer the build-out and let real demand set the timing.
- Absorbing higher attendance with no new space. A large US insurance company expected a space shortage as it raised in-office attendance. Meridian showed desks were never the constraint; enclosed rooms were. Converting 25 to 30 desks into collaboration rooms allowed the floor to absorb the increase without needing additional space.
- Avoiding £1M+ in capital expense. A global technology company facing a lease event planned to rebuild its office with the same layout and desk count. Meridian showed fewer than half the desks were in use even on the busiest days, and fitting out to actual demand revealed more than £1M in avoidable capital expense.
With experience data in Meridian, occupiers can now forecast a change, measure how people use and experience it, and feed both back into the next plan.
