San Francisco, September 10, 2025
News Summary
At its Waypoint summit in San Francisco, OpenSpace introduced a Visual Intelligence Platform combining smartphone-first field capture with milestone-based analytics. The suite includes OpenSpace Field, which uses Spatial AI to pin photos to floorplans and align imagery to BIM, and OpenSpace Progress Tracking, a milestone-driven service powered by an analytics partner that converts images into billing, schedule-risk and coordination insights. The platform supports 360° cameras, drones, and laser scanners and integrates with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud and major scheduling tools. Beta users report large time savings on field tasks, and the offering scales across tens of thousands of projects worldwide.
OpenSpace unveils new Visual Intelligence Platform with smartphone capture and milestone progress tracking
On Sept. 9, 2025, a company introduced a new Visual Intelligence Platform at its customer summit, rolling two main offerings: OpenSpace Field and OpenSpace Progress Tracking (the latter powered by a partner, Disperse). The platform is presented as a way to convert photos, drone imagery and laser-scanner data into usable, day-to-day intelligence for jobsite teams and executives.
What the platform is designed to do
The platform aims to bridge a common gap: financial and project tools track money and processes, but they do not always show what is actually on site. The new system focuses on image-first workflows that capture field conditions in near real time and turn them into items that teams can act on, such as punch-list assignments, issue logs, percent-complete figures and productivity tracking.
Key products and capabilities
- OpenSpace Field: A field-first system that uses Spatial AI to let teams capture, track and manage site data with a smartphone. Images are automatically placed on floorplans and aligned to BIM models, and the product is described as integrating with project platforms such as Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud.
- OpenSpace Progress Tracking: A milestone-based progress solution powered by Disperse. It is designed to validate work-in-place for billing, compare actual progress to planned milestones to spot schedule risk, and produce visual progress summaries. It integrates with schedules from P6, Asta, Microsoft Project and Excel.
- Reality capture suite: Existing tools include OpenSpace Capture, OpenSpace BIM+ and OpenSpace Air, which document sites with 360° cameras, drones and laser scanners.
Claims on efficiency and early detection
Early adopters and company materials report large time savings and earlier detection of problems. A beta group using OpenSpace Field noted substantial time reductions when handling punch lists and logging issues, and users of the progress-tracking feature say milestone-based analytics surface productivity issues very early in a job. The Progress Tracking product was announced earlier in the year as powered by Disperse and sold as an add-on to existing capture subscriptions, with pricing tied to scope and project count.
Integrations and availability
The new Field product is said to integrate with common construction platforms and BIM workflows. Progress Tracking connects to major scheduling tools. Progress Tracking was announced in June 2025 as available now to subscribers of the capture product, and the September release positions both new offerings as part of the broader Visual Intelligence Platform introduced at the summit.
Scale and deployment numbers
Across two company updates during 2025, public materials listed different snapshots of usage: a June update cited imagery captured on nearly 70,000 construction projects across 99 countries, documenting more than 47 billion square feet. A September update cited imagery analyzed on over 75,000 projects across 124 countries, representing more than 52 billion square feet. These figures reflect growth reported between the two releases.
Security and compliance note
Source fragments in the supplied materials also indicate the company has achieved a federal authorization level for cloud systems, a credential often used to support government and regulated customers. The available text did not provide full details or a date for that announcement.
Who is using it
The material lists a range of contractors and owners as users or reference customers. Reported examples include general contractors, trade partners and real-estate owners who rely on reality capture across many projects. The Progress Tracking launch emphasized the partner role of Disperse for milestone-based analysis and human-verified results.
What this means for project teams
The move emphasizes faster, visual-driven decisions in the field. For crews, that can mean capturing a condition with a phone and having the image automatically placed in the right plan location. For program managers, the product aims to deliver consolidated progress snapshots tied to schedules and billing milestones. For leaders, the platform is presented as a way to get clearer, image-based insight across a portfolio.
Where to find more information
Public materials point to a central website for product pages and demos. Pricing and licensing terms for the progress-tracking add-on were described as based on the scope of tracking required and the number of projects.
