Run the Building for Less. Without the Complaints.
Cleaning schedules, HVAC runtimes, staffing levels, and vendor scope, all set for a building that's no longer full. Meridian ties them to measured occupancy, so spend follows use and you can show service levels still hold where it mattered.
Trusted by Facilities Teams Around the World
THE PROBLEM
Every Floor Gets the Same Service, Whether Anyone Showed Up or Not
Cleaning crews follow fixed routes regardless of occupancy. You’re paying to clean floors that nobody used, while occupied spaces wait until the next scheduled cycle.
Staffing decisions are based on calendar bookings, not reality. Conference rooms show 80% booked but only 50% actually occupied. You’re staffing for phantom demand.
HVAC runs at full capacity in empty wings. Building systems operate on schedules, not demand. Energy costs stay high even when attendance drops by half on Mondays and Fridays.
Reactive maintenance wastes time and money. You find out a space is broken when someone complains, not when the data tells you something changed.
From Scheduled Operations to Demand-Driven Automation
Right-size Operations to Real Attendance Patterns
Meridian helps you understand demand patterns by building, floor, and day of week. See which spaces are consistently over-serviced and which are under-resourced, then plan staffing and service levels based on reality.
Measure Real-Time Occupancy across Every Space
Badge, sensors, videoconferencing, Wi-Fi, and booking data feed a live view of building occupancy. Meridian allows you to see which floors are active, which are empty, and how patterns change throughout the day, in real-time.
Trigger Automated Workflows Based on Actual Usage
Connect occupancy signals to building management systems, cleaning platforms, and service tools. Trigger cleaning when a space is vacated. Adjust HVAC based on real-time headcount. Auto-release no-show meeting room bookings.
Built for Facilities Teams Who Want to Operate Smarter
Real-Time Occupancy Visibility
See live occupancy across every building, floor, and space type. Know instantly which areas are active and which are empty, without relying on calendar bookings or manual walk-throughs.
BMS & Building System Integration
Connect occupancy data directly to building management systems, HVAC controls, and lighting systems. Occupancy signals trigger real-time adjustments so building systems respond to actual demand.
Automated Cleaning Triggers
Send cleaning crews where they’re needed based on occupancy, not fixed schedules. When a meeting room is vacated or a floor reaches a usage threshold, cleaning workflows trigger automatically through ServiceNow or your existing FM platform.
Dynamic Stacking & Space Allocation
Use occupancy patterns to consolidate usage to fewer floors on low-attendance days. Close and de-commission unused floors to save on cleaning, HVAC, and security, while maintaining experience on active floors.
Staffing Optimization
Align security, reception, catering, and maintenance staffing to actual attendance data. See demand curves by day, hour, and building, and right-size contract labor accordingly.

A Smarter Way to Run Your Building
Calendar bookings show intent. Occupancy data shows reality. The gap between them is where operational waste lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does VergeSense integrate with building management systems?
VergeSense connects to BMS platforms including Johnson Controls, Siemens, Honeywell, Switch Automation, and Kode Labs through native integrations and open APIs, so you're not replacing infrastructure you've already invested in. Occupancy signals flow to your BMS in real time to enable demand-driven HVAC, lighting, and system adjustments, meaning building systems respond to how space is actually being used right now instead of running on a fixed schedule built around worst-case assumptions.
Can VergeSense trigger automated cleaning workflows?
Yes. VergeSense integrates with FM platforms like ServiceNow WSD to automatically dispatch cleaning crews based on real occupancy events rather than a set calendar. When a space is vacated or a floor hits a usage threshold, the workflow triggers without manual intervention, so cleaning follows actual use instead of a fixed rotation that cleans empty floors just as often as busy ones.
How real-time is the occupancy data?
Sensor data updates within seconds, which is what makes real-time automation like cleaning triggers and HVAC adjustments possible in the first place. A daily or weekly batch update wouldn't be fast enough to drive an operational workflow that needs to respond to what's happening on the floor right now, which is why VergeSense is built for continuous, live data rather than periodic reporting.
Does VergeSense support dynamic stacking?
Yes. Occupancy patterns reveal which floors can be consolidated on low-attendance days, typically Mondays and Fridays under most hybrid policies. Facilities teams use this data to close unused floors and redirect cleaning, HVAC, security, and staffing to active areas, reducing operating costs while maintaining experience quality on the days people actually show up. It turns a fixed weekly operating cost into one that flexes with real attendance.
How does VergeSense reduce energy costs?
By connecting real-time occupancy data to building systems, HVAC and lighting operate based on actual demand rather than fixed schedules built around assumed full occupancy. Empty floors and zones can be automatically de-commissioned instead of running at full power 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.
What is the implementation process for facilities teams?
Implementation typically includes sensor deployment (4–6 weeks), system integrations (1–4 weeks depending on BMS complexity), and workflow configuration to connect occupancy data to your specific automation goals. VergeSense provides dedicated implementation support and training for facilities teams throughout the process, so your team isn't left configuring BMS connections or troubleshooting data flows without guidance from someone who's done it before.
