Let Your Workplace Run Itself
Connect occupancy signals to your building systems so cleaning, HVAC, and room release respond to who showed up rather than a fixed schedule. Lower operating costs, lower energy use, and no drop in service on the floors that are busy.
250M+ SQFT of Space Analyzed Globally
Your Building Doesn't Need a Schedule. It Needs a Signal.
Occupancy signals from badge, WiFi, video conferencing, and sensors tell your building who is where, right now. Floor by floor, room by room, at the resolution your systems can act on.
Occupancy data flows into your existing building systems, including BMS, IWMS, cleaning platforms, booking tools through 50+ native integrations and open APIs.
Workflows trigger automatically: clean only used spaces, adjust HVAC by floor, release ghosted bookings, reallocate stacking dynamically.
Every automated decision becomes data. Service levels tune themselves as attendance patterns shift, so you cut cleaning, energy, and staffing spend on the floors that emptied out without touching the ones that filled up.
Built for Facilities and Operations Teams Who Want to Do More with Less
Facilities Managers Overseeing Cleaning, Maintenance, and Building Systems
If you're cleaning every floor every night regardless of whether anyone was there, you're paying full price for a building that ran at 40%. Meridian tells your cleaning, HVAC, and maintenance systems which spaces were used, so service follows occupancy instead of the calendar.
Real Estate Leaders Managing Multi-Site Portfolios
If you're carrying full operating cost on buildings running at half capacity, the savings aren't in the lease alone. Meridian ties cleaning, energy, and service spend to measured occupancy across every site, so the operating line comes down alongside the footprint.
Sustainability/ESG Directors Tracking Energy Reduction and Carbon Goals
Your carbon reduction targets don't care about fixed HVAC schedules. Meridian connects real-time occupancy to your building systems so energy consumption follows actual demand, giving you the data to report on, and the automation to act on it.
Workplace Experience Teams Managing Space Booking and Availability
Ghost bookings, phantom shortages, and spaces that look full but aren't. Meridian releases unused rooms automatically and shows employees what's genuinely available, so the shortage complaints stop without anyone adding a square foot.
IT Teams Responsible for Building System Integrations and Data Flows
50+ native integrations with the IWMS, BMS, booking, and WiFi infrastructure you already manage. Open REST API and webhooks for anything custom. VergeSense fits into your existing stack without a lengthy implementation or a rip-and-replace.
Automate What Matters Most
Smart Cleaning

Connects to the Systems You Already Use
Open APIs and webhooks for custom workflows and any system not on the list.
Real Results from Workplace Automation
A global investment bank was spending $4M annually on cleaning across a major office using a fixed-fee model, cleaning every space on a rigid schedule regardless of whether anyone had used it. No mechanism existed to align operations with actual occupancy.
They integrated VergeSense with Switch Automation, their building operations platform, connecting real-time occupancy data to both cleaning workflows and HVAC systems. Spaces were cleaned based on actual usage, and energy systems adjusted dynamically to real headcount.
Cleaning costs cut by 50%, delivering $2M in annual savings. Energy costs reduced by up to 30% daily by aligning HVAC to actual occupancy rather than fixed schedules.
$2M in Annual Cleaning Savings. 30% Energy Cost Reduction.
One integration. Two cost lines cut. No impact to employee experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is workplace automation?
Workplace automation uses real-time occupancy data to trigger operational actions automatically, cleaning dispatch, HVAC and lighting adjustments, room release, floor consolidation, based on how space is actually being used rather than a fixed schedule or a static assumption. Instead of running building systems on a calendar that assumes every day looks the same, automation lets your operations respond to what's actually happening on the floor right now, cutting waste without anyone having to manually flag it.
How does VergeSense automate operational workflows like cleaning and room release?
VergeSense connects real occupancy events to your FM and booking systems so operational workflows trigger automatically instead of on a fixed schedule. When a space is vacated or a floor crosses a usage threshold, cleaning dispatch can fire without manual intervention through integrations like ServiceNow WSD. Similarly, when a booking goes unused or attendees leave without releasing a room, that ghost meeting is detected and the room is released back into inventory in real time, no one has to notice and act on it manually.
Can VergeSense reduce energy costs?
Yes. By connecting real-time occupancy data to your building systems, HVAC and lighting can run based on actual demand instead of a fixed schedule that assumes every floor is full every day. Empty floors or zones can be automatically de-commissioned rather than heated, cooled, and lit for no one. Enterprises using VergeSense for energy optimization have seen 25%+ reductions in energy spend, savings that compound across a portfolio without requiring any change in employee behavior or policy.
What is dynamic stacking?
Dynamic stacking uses real occupancy patterns to identify which floors can be consolidated on low-attendance days, typically Mondays and Fridays under most hybrid policies. Facilities teams use that data to close unused floors and redirect cleaning, HVAC, security, and staffing to the floors that are actually active, cutting operating costs without degrading the employee experience on the days people do come in. It turns a fixed weekly operating cost into one that flexes with real attendance.
How is VergeSense different from a BMS or IWMS?
BMS and IWMS platforms manage and record what exists, assets, schedules, reservations, but they don't forecast what's coming or adjust automatically to real usage; they run on the schedule or plan you configured, whether or not it still matches reality. VergeSense adds the occupancy intelligence layer that tells those systems what's actually happening in the building right now, so automation is driven by real behavior instead of a static configuration that goes stale the moment attendance patterns shift.
What systems does VergeSense integrate with for automation?
VergeSense integrates with 50+ systems across building management, FM/IWMS, and BI platforms, including Johnson Controls, Siemens, Honeywell, ServiceNow, Power BI, and Tableau, connecting to your existing stack rather than replacing it. Occupancy signals flow into the systems your facilities team already runs, so cleaning, HVAC, and space workflows can be automated inside the tools you use today. Open APIs cover anything not addressed by a native connector.
How complex is the integration setup?
Native integrations typically take days, not months. Timeline depends on your specific system configuration and IT environment, but VergeSense's implementation team works directly with your team to connect your stack and validate data flows rather than leaving it to your engineers to figure out. Some IT involvement is usually needed where system access is required, but the technical configuration itself is handled for you, not by you.
Can we start with just one automation use case?
Yes. Automation use cases, cleaning, HVAC, room release, staffing, can be enabled independently rather than requiring a full rollout on day one. Most teams start with a single high-value workflow, often cleaning dispatch or room release, prove the value, and expand to others once the data and integration are already in place. This lets you validate ROI on one use case before deciding how far to take automation across your portfolio.
What's the ROI timeline for automation?
Timelines vary by use case and portfolio size, but most automation workflows go live within 4–6 weeks of sensor and system integration. Cost savings from energy and staffing optimization typically become visible within the first few months as fixed schedules give way to demand-based operation. Because automation runs on data you're often already collecting for occupancy intelligence, there's usually no separate measurement phase before savings start showing up.
