WHEN TEAMS SWITCH
Enterprise workplace teams don’t buy software. They buy outcomes
Quantum Health, HUB International, and Medtronic each delivered one on OfficeSpace. Here is what that looked like for each team.
Quantum health outgrew booking only tooling
The team was planning space in spreadsheets and running bookings through a separate scheduler. Moving everything to OfficeSpace gave them one system and saved 13.5 million US dollars and 200 hours every year.
HUB International rationalized a North American portfolio
Real estate leadership wanted to reduce the office footprint without guessing which space to cut. OfficeSpace showed them exactly how every office was used, and they cut 20 percent from real estate costs.
Medtronic standardized on a single workplace platform
The facilities team was running different booking and move tools in different regions. Moving every site to OfficeSpace gave them one platform for space planning, moves, and reporting across the full global footprint.

Switching
Moving from Kadence to OfficeSpace
Switching vendors is usually the hardest part of a buying decision. It does not have to be. OfficeSpace runs migrations from Kadence, Robin, Envoy, and Skedda every month, with a 35 day plan, a named implementation lead, and a single point of accountability through go live.

OfficeSpace Software is an agentic workplace platform for enterprise facilities and real estate teams, with a suite of AI agents covering space planning, workplace experience, insights, facilities, and visitors. Kadence is primarily a hybrid work and booking tool focused on scheduling and team coordination. Enterprises that manage millions of square feet, run moves and restacks, and need CAFM level space analytics typically choose OfficeSpace.
OfficeSpace AI Canvas is purpose-built workplace AI combining 20 years of space planning workflow depth with Dojo AI's 5-plus years of space planning AI. Planners interact through structured controls, including drag, click, lock, weight, and override at every step, with AI as a partner throughout the workflow. Kadence SpaceOps is an LLM chat interface: planners describe intent in natural language and accept what the model returns. For enterprise teams running complex restacks, the difference matters. Every refinement in a chat-only system means re-narrating to the AI, with no structured way to lock decisions, weight adjacencies, or audit what changed between iterations.
Pricing depends on users, feature set, and contract term. Kadence publishes two tiers, Standard and Enterprise, with active user billing and a separate 250 US dollar per floor plan upload fee. OfficeSpace uses enterprise pricing tailored to square footage, employee count, and module mix, with a typical 35 day implementation included. Request a quote for a direct side by side on total cost of ownership.
OfficeSpace has a documented 35 day implementation path with dedicated client success and professional services. Kadence implementation timing varies by customer and is not published. Floor plan digitization, CAD uploads, and SSO setup are where most comparable tools add weeks, so ask each vendor for a written implementation plan with milestones.
Yes. OfficeSpace includes desk booking, room booking, visitor management, and neighborhoods, with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Calendar, Zoom, and Outlook integrations. Customers that start with booking on Kadence and later need space planning, scenario modeling, or move management often consolidate onto OfficeSpace.
OfficeSpace ships a suite of named AI agents covering space planning, workplace experience, insights, facilities, and visitors. The Space Planning Agent generates scenarios, runs stack plans, and suggests neighborhoods based on utilization. Kadence offers analytics and scheduling features, without the same depth of generative space planning or portfolio modeling.
OfficeSpace is built for enterprise portfolios. Customers manage more than 116 million square feet on the platform, with an average customer tenure of seven years. The product was designed for facilities, real estate, and workplace leaders running complex multi site operations, with integrations into ServiceNow, Workday, SAP, Oracle, and Okta.
Move management is a native module in OfficeSpace, not an add-on. It covers individual moves, group moves, restack planning, and move request workflows. One company used Move Manager to consolidate 3,000 employees into a single campus, choosing OfficeSpace for its operational depth required at that scale. Kadence does not publish move management as a core module, and bulk department reassignment is not documented in their product.
Both products are highly rated on G2. OfficeSpace holds a 4.8 out of 5 average rating, with more than 2,200 customers across healthcare, finance, government, technology, and education. Review distribution, ease of use scores, and implementation ratings vary, so read recent reviews for both vendors before finalizing a shortlist.
OfficeSpace integrates with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Calendar, Zoom, Outlook, Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin, Workday, ADP, SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, Embrava, Brivo, Verge Sense, and more. Kadence integrates with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Calendar, Zoom, and Outlook. Confirm each vendor's integration roadmap during evaluation.
Yes. OfficeSpace professional services includes a structured migration playbook that covers floor plan re ingestion, user directory sync through SSO, booking history export and import, reporting template rebuilds, and a 30 day hypercare window. Most migrations complete inside the standard 35 day implementation.
Book a tailored demo and a member of the OfficeSpace team will run a side by side walkthrough using your floor plans, your org structure, and your preferred scenario. Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes and are tailored to facilities, real estate, IT, and workplace experience stakeholders.

Ask the questions a demo video won't answer
Every buying committee has the same three questions at this stage. Here is how this session answers all three.
Can it handle our portfolio?
Your floor plans load into the demo environment before the call, so the walkthrough runs against your real space, users, and integrations.
How long will implementation really take?
We walk through the full 35 day plan live, with the named implementation lead on the call, not a sales rep reading a roadmap slide.
What does year two cost?
Year one and year two pricing are sent in writing within 48 hours of the call, scoped to your portfolio and module selection.
