Company
Product Overview
Kadence is AI for corporate real estate, used by 600 organizations. The platform ships with two main product sets. SpaceOps is the corporate real estate system: occupancy analytics, stack planning, restack scenarios, cost per seat, and move management. A Head of Real Estate can ask for a floor consolidation or a restack, get scored plan variants, and execute the move on live occupancy data they can defend to the CFO. WorkOps is the daily workplace system: desk booking, room booking, visitor management, and team coordination inside Microsoft Teams, Slack, Outlook, and Google. Employees book and check in where they already work. Workplace and facilities teams run the building without a second portal. Sense sits under both. It unifies bookings, badges, Wi-Fi, and meeting rooms into one occupancy number, with no new sensor estate. Enterprises use the two product sets together to consolidate floors, prove utilization, and run workplace change on the same platform. SOC 2, SSO, and directory sync across multi-building portfolios.

AI Capabilities
Kadence is AI for corporate real estate, not a chatbot on desk booking. SpaceOps plans stacks and space with constraints, scoring togetherness, utilization, and adjacency for executable variants. Sense unifies occupancy data so utilization is defensible to finance. Open MCP lets enterprise agents query occupancy, run scenarios, and act with customer permissions. Conversational booking in Teams and Slack is the daily layer; portfolio decisions stay in SpaceOps.
Key Solution Details
AppsCRE recognizes Kadence as a U.S.-based, growth-stage AI-powered workplace management platform that uniquely enables organizations to unlock portfolio and workforce productivity efficiencies by orchestrating workplace services, employee participation, and space utilization across complex hybrid office environments. Reporting approximately 600 customers across 40 countries, Kadence positions itself as the intelligent operating layer between employees and workplace environments, replacing legacy booking tools with modern, AI-driven workplace systems that consistently drive industry-leading employee adoption.
Kadence’s platform architecture combines two differentiated solution environments - WorkOps, delivering the employee workplace experience layer, and SpaceOps, providing advanced workplace planning and portfolio operations capabilities for corporate real estate teams. Kadence emphasizes intuitive UX, deep integration with collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Slack, and exceptionally high end-user engagement relative to traditional workplace management systems.
Kadence reports strong traction among organizations where workforce and real estate costs are significant, including banking, law firms, technology companies, and government agencies. The platform’s value proposition centers on driving measurable efficiencies across two of the largest enterprise operating cost categories - workforce and real estate - by improving employee workplace participation, space utilization, and portfolio planning decisions.
Analyst Observations: Observed platform architecture, differentiated capabilities, and key strengths include:
- Kadence combines employee workplace experience (WorkOps) and space planning and portfolio operations (SpaceOps) within a single AI-powered workplace orchestration platform
- Native deployment inside Microsoft Teams and Slack via marketplace apps approved and pinned by enterprise IT
- WorkOps environment serves as an employee workplace ‘passport’ supporting desk and meeting room booking, visitor management, announcements, surveys, and internal events
- Multiple booking interaction models, including AI workplace concierge, guided booking workflows, and property-style location browsing
- Social workplace coordination, allowing employees to view colleague attendance patterns and receive AI-powered smart suggestions for in-office participation — a key driver of high end-user engagement
- Integrated flexible workspace access via LiquidSpace, enabling coworking inventory booking directly within the platform
- Visitor management including kiosk-based reception and workplace entry workflows
- Administrative dashboards and analytics providing portfolio utilization insights, hybrid attendance metrics, and floor-level occupancy heatmaps
- Advanced Kadence Sense presence detection, leveraging Wi-Fi, badge access, Ethernet activity, and meeting hardware to estimate occupancy without dedicated sensors
- SpaceOps planning capabilities, including scenario planning, stack planning, team adjacency modeling, and move management workflows
- Strategic integration with Archilogic strengthens Kadence’s spatial data model, enabling deeper building intelligence, floor plan management, and advanced workplace planning workflows
- Proprietary AI model for space allocation supporting hybrid density planning and workplace participation modeling
- Native mobile applications (iOS and Android) supporting booking and workplace coordination
