Our take
Founded back in 2002, Appspace has grown into something of a leader in the workplace experience field. What essentially started as an internal content management and digital signage toolkit has since expanded into an end-to-end workplace management platform that caters for both physical and digital co-working and communication.
The calibre of customers that Appspace serves says a lot about its status – Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Coca-Cola and Pfizer all use the platform. It’s to the company’s credit that it’s stayed abreast of changing needs in the workplace, and added to its product offering at opportune moments, either by developing its solutions or via strategic acquisitions.
Now that a blend of on-site, hybrid, and remote working is the norm, there’s a need for a single platform that ensures good employee (and customer) experiences, rather than companies using a host of distributed apps. It’s a need that Appspace is fulfilling well, as it continues to invest in product innovation.
