AI-Driven Predictive Planning

Info

From dashboards to predictions and simulations.

Predictive insights: Predicts near-future space utilization using historical occupancy, floorplan layouts, reservations, and seasonality data

Simulations: Use the Simulation engine to test scenarios before committing: "What if we cut 20% of floor space?" "What happens when RTO policies change?"

Proactive planning: Moves workplace decisions from reactive reporting to proactive planning

Spacewell provides the context. VergeSense turns it into prediction.

Two complementary platforms. The workplace model comes from Spacewell, the prediction happens in VergeSense, and the decision comes back to Spacewell to be applied.

image-20260918-112328.png

Info

Tip

Customers do not need VergeSense sensors to start. Our Floor plans and workplace context are enough to run simulations; sensor/occupancy data from Spacewell and/or Vergesense make the analysis more accurate. 

Already using VergeSense sensors with Spacewell? You may already have the foundation in place.

Reservation Insights dashboard

Info

New version, completely redesigned, based on feedback from various users

  • As a space manager

  • I want to understand how often spaces are booked

  • So that I can identify bottlenecks and adjust reservation policies

image-20260918-113425.png

Benefits

  • Better metrics

  • Daily reservation time

  • Booking rate

Daily reservation time = How many hours a space is reserved (per day)

  • Tells how much 1 individual space is reserved per day

  • Does NOT tell how many spaces are booked simultaneously (this would be “Booking rate”)

image-20260918-113604.pngimage-20260918-113608.png

Benefits

  • Identify spaces reserved above / below average

  • Identify least popular spaces (reserved less than 1h / day)

  • Metric is available as

    • absolute value  (hours per day)

    • percentage value  (hours per day / business hours)

Booking rate = nr of spaces booked / nr of spaces reservable (per hour)

e.g. Mon 2026-08-31 at 9am, 125 booked / 500 reservable = 25%

Tells how many spaces are booked simultaneously

  • per hour / per day

  • Avg booking rate  = average per hour

  • Peak booking rate  = highest per day

  • Highest booking rate  = bottleneck identifier

image-20260918-114031.png

Benefits

  • Observe week patterns

  • Compare buildings / floors

  • Identify bottlenecks

Admin for system administrators

Multiple calendars, one seamless experience

Info

Connect and manage multiple Microsoft Exchange calendar integrations within the same tenant; each with its own dedicated synchronization settings and resource mappings.

  • Better support for complex organizations: Accommodate organizations with multiple domains, entities, locations, or calendar-management requirements.

How is the feature made available? Configuration required


Full reconciliation support for recurring reservations

Info

Conflict resolution and overnight reconciliation now cover recurring room reservations, closing the last gap in Outlook and Workplace synchronization and removing most known causes of sync issues with recurring reservations.

  • As a user or administrator,

  • I want recurring room reservations to be corrected automatically, both when conflicts occur and after synchronization interruptions,

  • So that Outlook and Workplace stay aligned without manual investigation or cleanup.

Reservation type

Real time conflict resolution

Overnight reconciliation

  • Overnight reconciliation restores alignment after missed events or synchronization interruptions.

  • Removes or corrects stale recurring reservations left behind in Outlook or Workplace.

  • Covers inbound and outbound synchronization, whichever system the reservation originated in.

How is the feature made available? Semi-automatically (automatically available if specific configuration has already been set-up)


Control the availability of reservation remarks

Info

Administrators can now hide the reservation remark field for end users. When disabled, the field is hidden when creating a reservation in GO and Workplace app.

  • As an admin or reservation coordinator

  • I want to control whether end users can add remarks to reservations

  • So that reservation remarks are only available when they are part of the supported reservation process

image-20260918-115635.png

Benefits

  • Reduces confusion by preventing users from submitting requests through reservation remarks when these are not monitored

  • Allows administrators to enable or disable reservation remarks based on their organization’s needs

How is the feature made available? Automatically available to you as soon as the release is rolled out


Restrict services to specific locations

Info

It is now possible to limit reservable catalog items — such as catering or services — to specific locations. Allowed locations can be set at any level, from a specific room to an entire floor or building, with child areas automatically included. In GO and the Workplace app, restricted items are automatically hidden based on the selected room or workplace

  • As a reservation coordinator

  • I want to restrict catering and services to specific locations

  • So that only relevant options are available when reserving a room or workplace in a given area

image-20260918-115753.png

Benefits

  • Prevent catering or services from being booked in locations where they are not available

  • Flexible configuration — restrict per room, floor, or higher-level area

  • Child areas are automatically included when a parent area is configured

  • No restrictions apply when no location limitations are set, keeping it simple by default

How is the feature made available? Semi-automatically (automatically available if specific configuration has already been set-up)


Require a room when reserving services

Info

A new setting on reservable catalog items allows administrators and reservation coordinators to require that catering or services are always reserved in combination with a room or workplace. When enabled, these services cannot be reserved separately in GO or the Workplace app. The default behavior remains unchanged — catering and services can still be reserved standalone unless explicitly restricted.

  • As a reservation coordinator

  • I want to prevent catering or services from being reserved without a room or workplace

  • So that reservations always have a valid location associated with them

image-20260918-115907.png

Benefits

  • Ensures services are always reserved with a physical location

  • Prevents incomplete or impractical reservations

  • Configurable per catalog item — existing behavior is preserved by default

How is the feature made available? Semi-automatically (automatically available if specific configuration has already been set-up)


Choose for which buildings users can make service requests

Info

A new setting allows administrators to control service request creation per building. Each building can be configured to allow or prevent requests, with settings inherited from the location hierarchy when no value is defined. When disabled, end users cannot create service requests for locations within that building in GO or the Workplace app.

  • As an administrator

  • I want to control which buildings allow request creation

  • So that service requests are only submitted for locations where they can be properly handled

image-20260918-120414.png

Benefits

  • Restrict ticket creation to relevant buildings only

  • Hierarchy-based configuration — settings are inherited from parent locations, ensuring consistent behavior across the portfolio

  • Flexible — can be enabled or disabled at the client level without affecting other settings

How is the feature made available? Semi-automatically (automatically available if specific configuration has already been set-up)


Closing the chapter on Studio 1.0

Info

All the remaining settings have now been migrated to Studio 2.0, completing the transition and allowing us to fully retire Studio 1.0.
