VergeSense Launches Breakpoint Analyzer to Transform Space Planning with AI-Powered Precision
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VergeSense, the leader in occupancy intelligence, today announced the beta release of Breakpoint Analyzer, a powerful new AI-powered tool that enables real estate and workplace teams to identify hidden inefficiencies in their floor plans, reclaim wasted space, and optimize their existing footprints. Breakpoint Analyzer is the first release in a new suite of predictive space planning tools from VergeSense designed to bring speed, clarity, and data-driven insights to portfolio planning. Breakpoint Analyzer is the first release in a new suite of predictive space planning tools from VergeSense designed to bring speed, clarity, and data-driven insights to portfolio planning. Share Breakpoint Analyzer leverages a proprietary AI model from VergeSense trained on over 200 million square feet of occupancy data to predict which spaces on a floor plan will fill up first, identify where you have too much of a space type, and where you can rebalance spaces to reduce space waste and improve efficiency. In a time when workplace teams are under pressure to optimize space while protecting employee experience, traditional planning methods—like expensive consulting engagements that yield static ratios or rely on outdated benchmarks—no longer meet the moment. Breakpoint Analyzer changes that. 'Space planning has historically been slow, siloed, and assumption-driven,' said Dan Ryan, CEO at VergeSense. 'Breakpoint Analyzer gives teams a faster, smarter way forward—grounded in how their spaces actually perform, not how they were designed on paper.' A New Standard for Measuring Capacity and Performance Powered by over 200 million square feet of real-world occupancy data, Breakpoint Analyzer leverages a customer's floor plans and occupancy data—like WiFi or sensor data—to evaluate: True usable capacity based on actual employee behavior Which space types will run out first, triggering productivity or experience issues How much capacity is lost due to inefficient room sizes or poor space mix Where layout changes could unlock hidden capacity Even in areas without full sensor coverage, Breakpoint Analyzer leverages VergeSense's proprietary benchmark dataset to simulate usage with high confidence—eliminating blind spots and guesswork. What It Means for Workplace and Real Estate Teams Breakpoint Analyzer helps teams: Replace static planning with dynamic, real-world analysis Act confidently even when occupancy data is incomplete Avoid costly overbuilds or under-provisioning Accelerate decisions that previously took weeks or months This release marks the first step in VergeSense's broader vision for predictive workplace planning. In the near future, customers will be able to take advantage of a new scenario planning tool to simulate the impact of policy changes, headcount growth, or layout adjustments—before making costly decisions. Beta Now Available Through August 31, 2025 Breakpoint Analyzer is now available in beta through August 31, 2025.

VergeSense Reveals Findings from the 2025 Workplace Occupancy & Utilization Index
VergeSense experts share workplace usage and design strategies that align with company goals and employee needs; global trends and 2025 workplace predictions SAN FRANCISCO, February 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VergeSense, the leader in occupancy intelligence, unveiled the findings of the VergeSense 2025 Workplace Occupancy & Utilization Index—the largest first-party commercial real estate space utilization data set in the world. The 2025 Workplace Occupancy & Utilization Index examines trends in global space design and space utilization from 2024, and includes year-over-year comparisons from 2023 and 2022. This edition analyzed over 190,000 spaces from over 200 customers covering more than 156 million square feet of commercial real estate to understand the space utilization trends across offices around the globe. The data reveals opportunities to improve workplace efficiency and eliminate in-office friction. These findings can help workplace leaders develop thoughtful strategies and implement data-driven changes to optimize existing spaces and better plan for the future. A few of the key insights of the Index include: Space mix is inefficient. In 2024, Desks still made up more than half of the space mix, while collaboration spaces made up less than a quarter. Despite flexible work behaviors, many employees are still operating in offices built for fully in-person workstyles. Enclosed spaces are the most popular spaces. In 2024, enclosed spaces like Offices (20%), Conference Rooms (21.55%), and Collaboration Rooms (21.05%) had the highest active time usage. Time spent at Desks is on the rise. Nearly one-third of total time usage of Desks is passive, but in 2024, Desks saw an increase in active time usage from 14.4%-15.6%. As more people return to the office, the demand for personal space has grown. We expect to see this trend continue as capacity usage rises in 2025. Meeting rooms are too big. Hybrid and virtual collaboration have become an integral part of the workday, leading to fewer in-person meeting attendees. Despite this, 44% of meeting rooms are set up for 5+ people. This creates an opportunity for workplace leaders to adjust room size and layouts to better support employee needs. The North America (AMER) region has the lowest average capacity usage, again. Compared to the Asia Pacific (APAC) region (10.7%) and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region (10.8%), AMER has the lowest average capacity usage at 7.6%, highlighting resistance to in-office mandates compared to other regions. This pattern has continued year over year. "We've been navigating workplace changes since our founding in 2017 and have learned that companies are missing out on opportunities to increase productivity, improve collaboration, and enhance employee and workplace experience," said Dan Ryan, CEO and Co-Founder at VergeSense. "We know from first hand customer experience that utilizing data to create adaptable spaces is enabling leaders to remain agile in a dynamic work landscape and will be crucial as occupancy levels continue to rise."
