Kadence Launches AI Platform SpaceOps as Enterprises Restructure $10T in Office Real Estate

Fresh off a Series A, the workplace operations platform leveraged by companies like Boeing and Intel launches first-of-its kind AI-powered solution to help leaders adapt to hybrid work realities

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kadence, a workplace operations platform, today announced the launch of Kadence SpaceOps: an AI-powered product built to help enterprises model, test, and execute space decisions with confidence and unprecedented speed. 

As companies grapple with unprecedented shifts in how and where work happens, SpaceOps is a first-of-its-kind AI-powered platform that enables scenario planning, stack planning, and move management. It empowers CFOs, COOs, CHROs, and real estate leaders to model scenarios with a predictive occupancy engine, design optimal stack plans, and automate every move, all without the complexity of legacy integrated workplace management system (IWMS) tools and spreadsheets. 

"At Kadence, we believe the workplace should be a catalyst for human flourishing. SpaceOps embodies this vision by providing leaders with the transformative AI tools needed to do their best work—turning wasted space into new opportunities, reinvesting in their teams, and creating an environment where every person can achieve their highest potential." said Dan Bladen, CEO and co-founder of Kadence. "With real estate costs as the second-largest expense for most enterprises and occupancy rates at historic lows, organizations face increasing pressure to optimize their real estate portfolios. SpaceOps is a game-changer to help companies adapt to this new future of work, disrupting the $22T corporate real estate market. We're already seeing strong demand that will accelerate our growth goals." 

The launch comes on the heels of Kadence's $20M Series A led by High Alpha, with participation from Kickstart and Midwich Ignite, alongside support from Okta co-founder Frederic Kerrest, Slack co-founder Cal Henderson and Pluralsight founder Aaron Skonnard, who recently joined Kadence's board.

From Human Tetris to Intelligent Strategy
Until now, enterprises have relied on a patchwork of legacy tools to manage workplace changes, often taking months to plan space reallocations or policy shifts. With SpaceOps, organizations can model scenarios, forecast costs, and automate moves all in one place. Key differentiators include:

• AI-Driven Scenario Planning: Leaders can simulate policy changes, forecast space needs, or evaluate consolidation strategies with financial clarity, seeing cost per employee, and capacity projections before making a move.
• Intelligent Move-Management: SpaceOps orchestrates every move from approvals to communication, reducing disruption and ensuring productivity from day one.
• Dynamic Stack Planning: Drag-and-drop layouts enable real-time configuration testing, allowing teams to design smarter, more efficient floorplans across buildings and campuses.

Built for today's hybrid, multi-site reality, SpaceOps also integrates seamlessly with tools like Microsoft Places, Outlook, ServiceNow, and JSM, bridging the gap between employee experience and back-office execution.
