🚀 Introducing Predictive Planning, powered by Meridian

Written by VergeSense | Sep 17, 2025 1:00:00 PM

For years, VergeSense has helped workplace and real estate teams measure how space is used. Today, we’re taking the next step forward. With Meridian, the Workplace AI platform, you can not only see what’s happening in your workplace today, you can forecast what’s coming tomorrow and act with confidence.

With this launch, we’re unveiling the first module of our new Decision Intelligence solution:  Predictive Planning.

Why it Matters

Traditional planning relies on static ratios, gut feel, or consultant studies that take months and millions. The result? Outdated plans that miss the mark. But in today’s dynamic workplaces, leaders can’t wait weeks for answers, they need clear, ROI-backed options now.

Meridian brings every workplace signal, from sensors, Wi-Fi, badges, bookings, into a single data fabric. With built-in AI, it transforms raw data into clear, actionable intelligence:

Occupancy Intelligence: today’s truths about how your spaces are used.

Decision Intelligence: tomorrow’s scenarios, powered by our proprietary large spatial AI model. 

And even when you don’t have occupancy measurement, Predictive Planning, powered by Meridian, can still work, simulating occupancy patterns using benchmarks drawn from a large spatial model trained on over 200 million square feet of granular space and occupancy data. This gives you an instant, data-backed starting point that refines itself as real signals come online.

With Meridian, you can finally replace static reports with a living plan that updates as your workplace evolves.

What’s Launching Today: Predictive Planning

Predictive Planning, powered by Meridian, empowers real estate and workplace teams with a faster, smarter way to plan. It helps organizations continuously right-size, forecast, and optimize workplace  plans at scale.

With Predictive Planning, you can:

  • Understand your true space supply using an upgraded version of Breakpoint Analyzer, powered by our proprietary large spatial AI model that simultaneously runs millions of simulations to identify bottlenecks, wasted space, and layout imbalances.

  • Forecast demand modeling headcount changes, attendance policies, and growth.

  • Run scenarios instantly to compare options, like lease exits or space expansions, before making commitments.

  • Quantify ROI with built-in cost savings metrics, payback timelines, and CFO-ready reports.

For customers already using our Occupancy Intelligence solutions, Predictive Planning builds on that foundation. By combining precise, real-time Occupancy Intelligence measurement with AI-powered forecasting, Meridian delivers sharper insights and stronger recommendations. Your existing occupancy data doesn’t just show how spaces are used, it drives more accurate plans, better outcomes, and decisions Finance can trust. And for unmeasured spaces, Meridian leverages benchmarks from 200M+ SQFT of utilization data to simulate trends and extend the same level of intelligence across your entire portfolio.

Built for Modern Real Estate & Workplace Teams

Whether you manage a small portfolio of buildings or hundreds of global sites, Meridian helps you:

  • Optimize employee experience without overbuilding
  • Deliver cost-saving recommendations Finance can validate
  • Replace static headcount ratios with data-backed forecasts

What's Next

Predictive Planning is the first module on our Decision Intelligence roadmap.

Upcoming products will build on Meridian’s capabilities to use AI to address other critical workplace operations workflows, including:

  • Team & Neighborhood planning
  • Automated Block and Stack planning
  • AI-generated designs and test fits
  • …and more to come

Ultimately, these products will move us toward a future where all workplace operations tasks are AI-powered — enabling more optimized workplaces, happier employees, and dramatically reducing the manual, consultant-heavy workflows of today.
