Introducing a new system of work for construction, OpenSpace launched its Visual Intelligence Platform at its Waypoint customer summit, turning reality data into intelligence that both powers field workflows like punch lists and logging issues and business insights like percent complete and productivity tracking.
While ERP systems track financials and project management tools coordinate processes, neither provides true visibility into what’s really happening on site. OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform closes this gap by capturing field data in real time and turning it into intelligence that drives both daily action and executive insight. The Visual Intelligence Platform powers a transformation from document-centric workflows designed for office-centric businesses, to image-first workflows designed for the field-centric industries like construction.
“With OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform, we finally have real-time visibility into what’s happening on all our projects, across our entire business,” said Paul Chambers, project director, Skanska UK. “Instead of relying on delayed reports, our teams can spot issues immediately, make faster decisions and reduce costly surprises. It’s a new level of confidence for both our field teams and our leadership.”
OpenSpace has provided reality capture products such as OpenSpace Capture, OpenSpace BIM+ and OpenSpace Air, enabling builders to document jobsites with 360° cameras, drones, and laser scanners. Now, with OpenSpace Field and OpenSpace Progress Tracking, the company has evolved into a full Visual Intelligence Platform, transforming reality data to simplify workflows and generate insights that drive clarity and better, faster decision-making.
Today’s launch introduces OpenSpace Field, a field-first system of work powered by breakthrough Spatial AI. With just a smartphone, teams can capture, track and manage site data, with every image automatically pinned to the right location in floorplans and aligned to BIM models. These capabilities integrate with tools like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud. With reality data at the center of their workflows, they can move beyond traditional document-based tools. OpenSpace Field beta customers have reported time savings of 85% when addressing common field tasks like punch lists and logging issues.
In addition to OpenSpace Field, OpenSpace Progress Tracking adds powerful capabilities to OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform. The comprehensive, flexible and reliable solution turns reality data into high-level insights to validate work-in-place for billing, identify schedule risks early by comparing actual progress to planned milestones, and deliver trusted progress summaries to all stakeholders. It also integrates with schedules in P6, Asta, Microsoft Project and Excel.
“For years, reality capture has been treated as a nice-to-have—useful for documentation or dispute resolution,” said Jeevan Kalanithi, co-founder and CEO of OpenSpace. “With today’s launch, we are moving beyond reality capture, and redefining reality data as a strategic asset that simplifies workflows and fuels results, from the field to the C-Suite. Looking forward, we plan to expand on image-first workflows and bring clarity to every project, every portfolio, every business and to the industry at large.”
