OpenSpace debuts a Visual Intelligence Platform at its Waypoint summit, adding smartphone-first capture and milestone tracking
What happened: At a customer summit held in San Francisco on Sept. 9, 2025, a construction technology company introduced a new Visual Intelligence Platform that combines field imaging tools with progress-tracking analytics. The platform launch includes two named offerings: OpenSpace Field and OpenSpace Progress Tracking, the latter previously announced in June 2025 as powered by an analytics partner.
Top-line functions and purpose
The platform is presented as a system that turns on-site reality data into operational and executive intelligence. It is positioned to close the gap between financial and project systems and real-time jobsite visibility by capturing images and converting them into data that can drive daily field work and portfolio-level insight. The announcement frames the shift as moving from document-centered office workflows to image-first workflows designed for field-centric industries.
Core components introduced
- OpenSpace Field: marketed as a field-first system powered by Spatial AI that lets teams capture, track, and manage site data with just a smartphone. The product is claimed to automatically pin images to floorplans, align photos to BIM models, and integrate with common construction platforms.
- OpenSpace Progress Tracking: described as a milestone-based progress solution that turns imagery into high-level insights for billing validation, early schedule risk detection, trade coordination, and visual progress summaries. This capability was announced earlier in June 2025 as powered by Disperse, an analytics provider specializing in milestone-based progress reporting with a mix of imagery and human verification.
Integrations and capture methods
Existing capture products remain part of the overall offering: a 360-degree camera workflow, a BIM alignment product, and drone and laser scanning options. The new Field product is reported to connect with project systems such as Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud. Progress Tracking is stated to integrate with scheduling tools including Primavera P6, Asta, Microsoft Project and Excel.
Claims about performance and outcomes
Beta users of the Field product are reported to have seen an 85 percent time saving on common field tasks like punch-list management and issue logging. Separately, customers using the milestone-based progress tracking approach have described earlier detection of productivity issues, in some cases as early as a small portion of completion, providing time to address problems before they grow. Progress Tracking was described in June as available as an add-on to existing capture subscriptions, with pricing tied to the scope and the number of projects.
Scale and customer footprint
The company cites large-scale usage metrics across its reality capture offerings. Earlier statements in June noted imagery captured on nearly 70,000 projects across 99 countries covering over 47 billion square feet. Later material in September updates that footprint to more than 75,000 projects across 124 countries and over 52 billion square feet.
Availability and next steps
The June announcement positioned Progress Tracking as an add-on to existing capture licenses. The September summit presented both Field and Progress Tracking as part of a newly framed Visual Intelligence Platform. The company directs interested parties to its website for demos and more information.
Context and partners
The milestone-based tracking capability was introduced in partnership with a company known for combining image analysis and human verification. Names of several construction firms were provided as users of the technology in the announcement materials. The overall messaging positions reality data as a strategic asset intended to simplify workflows across field teams and executive stakeholders.
