In October 2025, OpenSpace acquired construction progress tracking provider Disperse. The acquisition follows a partnership the companies announced in June 2025, when OpenSpace Progress Tracking was launched. This solution combined OpenSpace’s AI-powered reality capture platform with Disperse’s milestones-based progress tracking and reporting capabilities.
Disperse built an AI-assisted strategy with a world-class analysis team composed mainly of trained architects and engineers, along with proprietary tools and techniques to review images and report progress accurately and quickly. By bringing together Spatial AI and human-in-the-loop, OpenSpace is able to deliver fully on the promise of verified, reliable, and scalable progress tracking.
The recent acquisition unites Disperse’s technology and expert data operations team with OpenSpace’s Visual Intelligence Platform, enabling OpenSpace to strengthen its Spatial AI capabilities, deepen its commitment to image-first AI workflows and insights, and expand its ability to win and serve owners, general contractors, and specialty contractors.
OpenSpace claims it now offers the only Visual Intelligence Platform that pairs 360° capture with verified progress analytics, uniting documentation, analysis, and insights into one reliable ecosystem. The solution is used to validate work-in-place for billing, identify schedule risks early by comparing actual progress to planned milestones, coordinate more effectively across trades, and deliver clear, visual progress summaries to all stakeholders. OpenSpace is used on over 80,000 projects with 50 billion square feet of data processed to date.
OpenSpace is a visual intelligence platform for builders which uses computer vision and AI to help commercial builders reduce risk and increase efficiency. Its image-first platform delivers real-time insights from the field, and turns images into actionable intelligence.
OpenSpace moves beyond traditional reality capture to automatically organize, understand (AI), and drive action from site imagery. Field teams can capture a complete visual record of their sites using smartphones via AI Autolocation, a technology that provides real-time indoor positioning for smartphones on a job site without requiring any extra hardware like beacons. Additionally, they can use 360° cameras using the OpenSpace Capture solution to capture, as well as drones, with the OpenSpace Air software.
The platform’s proprietary Spatial AI Engine automatically pins every image to BIM models and floor plans, locating images in space and time to provide visual context. Key products like OpenSpace Progress Tracking use this to validate percent complete, schedule updates, and productivity, all based on reality data, not opinions.
Integrated workflows are another core element of the platform: products like OpenSpace Field and deep integrations with platforms such as Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud streamline daily field tasks and ensure that visual data directly powers workflows to make better decisions, faster.
The reasons for acquiring Disperse
The recent acquisition of Disperse is a logical outcome of the earlier partnership, as customers loved the joint solution after it was released. The Disperse team and operation also had the scalability necessary to meet the demands of OpenSpace’s customer base and beyond, and both companies were well aligned from a people and culture perspective. This all meant that the best thing for OpenSpace was to move quickly, acquire Disperse, and grow together.
Additionally, OpenSpace was impressed with Disperse’s progress tracking and reporting capabilities, which they describe as “smart and defensible”. A key aspect of being a Visual Intelligence Platform is helping customers maximize the value of the images they capture, which happens foremost using progress tracking and reporting.
Furthermore, OpenSpace process is optimized for 360 images, but also works well with sheet-based progress tracking, and offers high flexibility. While every construction project is unique, OpenSpace has responded to this by being incredibly flexible and easy to use. Disperse similarly provided this flexibility through its progress tracking capabilities.
With the acquisition of Disperse, OpenSpace is able to sell a single solution on “one sheet of paper” and meet customers' needs. Today, OpenSpace’s solutions work together well, which is what was announced in June with the partnership. After acquiring Disperse, OpenSpace’s product roadmap includes plans to more fully integrate the two solutions.
