Our take

Data collection and analysis are frequently used by businesses to develop efficient software workflows to save money and time, but the AI that fuels these approaches is rarely applied to analyze offline activity. Despite the lack of this application, inefficiencies in the workplace could be solved from such insights by ensuring facilities are managed and used efficiently.

VergeSense builds AI-driven sensors and analytical software that allows businesses to gain insights regarding the usage of their office facilities. The technology can provide information regarding how full seating areas are, whether conference rooms are being used, and where desk space is currently available.

AI is normally associated with automating and improving efficiency in software scenarios, so VergeSense’s goal of collecting data and providing insights about physical office spaces is unique. The company claims that its technology helps offices recognize which workspaces are effective within an office, where changes are required, and how to present the office to facilitate better efficiencies in the workplace.
