Kadence launches AI‑powered SpaceOps, letting enterprises model, test, execute space decisions faster with confidence.

K
adence, a platform employed by Boeing and Intel, has introduced Kadence SpaceOps, an AI‑driven tool that assists leaders in navigating hybrid work environments. Announced via PRNewswire, the product enables executives to model, test, and implement space decisions rapidly, eliminating the need for legacy IWMS systems and spreadsheets.

    SpaceOps merges scenario planning, stack planning, and move management into a single interface. CFOs, COOs, CHROs, and real‑estate leaders can simulate policy changes, forecast occupancy, and design optimal floor plans using a predictive engine. The platform also automates approvals, communications, and logistics, reducing disruption and preserving productivity.

    “SpaceOps reflects Kadence’s belief that the workplace should foster human flourishing,” said CEO Dan Bladen. “By turning idle space into opportunity and reinvesting in teams, we help organizations reach their full potential. With real‑estate costs the second‑largest corporate expense and occupancy rates at historic lows, SpaceOps is poised to reshape the $22 trillion real‑estate market and accelerate our growth.”

    The launch follows Kadence’s $20 million Series A round led by High Alpha, with participation from Kickstart and Midwich Ignite, and board members including Okta co‑founder Frederic Kerrest, Slack co‑founder Cal Henderson, and Pluralsight founder Aaron Skonnard.

    Key features:

    - AI‑driven scenario planning that displays cost per employee and capacity projections before any move.

    - Intelligent move‑management that coordinates approvals, notifications, and logistics.

    - Dynamic stack planning with drag‑and‑drop layouts for real‑time floor‑plan testing.

    SpaceOps is already generating strong demand, positioning Kadence to meet the growing need for agile, data‑backed workplace solutions.
