Meridian

Meridian is the VergeSense Workplace AI platform. It turns the workplace data you already have into four outcomes: portfolio right-sizing, occupancy planning, data-driven design, and workplace automation, so real estate and workplace teams make space decisions with evidence instead of guesswork. Meridian is powered by the Large Spatial Model, trained on 250M+ sq ft of real workplace data, and is used by 200+ enterprise customers across 50+ countries to plan leases, redesigns, and headcount moves with confidence.

A consultant study takes three to six months, costs $250K to $1.5M or more, and is often outdated by the time it lands. Meridian runs continuously and recalculates when headcount, policy, or attendance changes, so the guidance stays current and you never start from zero. One global grocery retailer found a 178-desk surplus in two hours and avoided $1.5M in expansion costs per floor, work a weeks-long study had missed. Consultants also often profit from the space they recommend, while Meridian gives an independent read.

No. You can start with just a floor plan. Meridian works with data you already have, including badge, WiFi, video conferencing, and room booking systems, and the Large Spatial Model forecasts how a space will be used before anything is installed. Sensors are an optional add-on for the specific spaces your existing data cannot answer, so you add them only where they earn their place, not across the whole portfolio.

Meridian brings badge, WiFi, video conferencing, room booking, and sensor data into one platform through 50+ native integrations, including ServiceNow, Planon, Robin, Envoy, and Microsoft Places. Everything feeds a single, trusted picture of how space is used, from portfolio down to the individual desk. Rather than replacing your systems, Meridian unifies the signals you already collect, then layers in sensor measurement only where you need a more precise read.

Occupancy Intelligence is the measurement layer: a trusted picture of how every space is used today, from portfolio down to the desk, with occupancy measurement, portfolio reporting, a plain-language workplace assistant, and unified data sources. Predictive Planning is the forecasting layer: test lease, design, headcount, and policy changes before you commit, with demand forecasting, scenario modeling, and space supply analysis that finds the point where experience degrades. Together they form the Meridian platform, one layer to measure what is happening and one to forecast what happens next.

The Large Spatial Model is the AI model VergeSense built to predict how people use physical space. Trained on 250M+ sq ft of real workplace behavior, it forecasts where people gather, how they move through layouts, which spaces are underused or overloaded, and how new work patterns change behavior. It can predict how a space will perform from a floor plan alone, before any sensors are installed, and it gets more accurate over time as your own occupancy data feeds in.

Active occupancy is a person present and using a space. Passive occupancy is the belongings that claim a space when no one is there, like a laptop or jacket left on a desk. Measuring both gives a true read on how space is actually used, which is how one global biotechnology company identified overlooked demand and avoided $13M in expansion costs through targeted design decisions.

Meridian is built for enterprise real estate leaders, workplace leaders, occupancy planners, and facilities leaders. Real estate leaders right-size the portfolio without a consultant's PDF. Workplace leaders design spaces for how people actually behave. Occupancy planners get an independent read on space decisions before budget is committed. Facilities leaders automate cleaning, energy, and staffing based on real occupancy. It fits enterprise teams making high-stakes calls on leases, redesigns, headcount moves, and building operations who want data behind them.

In minutes, not months. Teams have modeled impacts of proposed changes in minutes and hours, walking into leadership conversations with quantified trade-offs the same week rather than waiting weeks for a report back. Because Meridian runs continuously, the numbers stay current as headcount, attendance, and policy change, so you are never acting on a snapshot that has already gone stale.

Every subscription includes platform access and a VergeSense Strategist. They know your portfolio, work in your data, and bring you recommendations on a recurring cadence. Meridian includes right-sizing, demand forecasting, scenario modeling, analytics dashboards, and API access. Meridian Plus adds third-party occupancy data integrations for teams that want to start from data they already have. Sensors are available as an optional add-on, as is Strategic Advisory Services, dedicated consulting hours with our industry experts for portfolio strategy, workplace research, occupancy planning, and change management.
