OpenSpace acquires Disperse

October 29, 2025

OpenSpace has acquired Disperse

We’re incredibly excited to share big news: Disperse is now part of OpenSpace.

This marks a pivotal new chapter—not just for our two companies, but for builders everywhere who want to make better decisions, faster. We’re ushering in a new way for builders to work, based on reality, not opinions. And with this acquisition, we’re now able to deliver a full-stack platform to the industry.

Over the past few months, we’ve seen incredible momentum around OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse—our joint product that combines OpenSpace 360° image capture with verified progress analytics from Disperse. The response from customers has been clear: this combination works. It saves time, eliminates guesswork, and delivers the kind of trustworthy insight that construction teams have wanted for years. OpenSpace Progress Tracking helps builders manage work with clarity and confidence.

Using reality data from the field—smartphone data, 360° images, aerial imagery, and more—means you can run your business with facts, not opinions. And with OpenSpace Progress Tracking, you can pull high level insights out of that reality to run your business with even more confidence.

Why this makes sense

At OpenSpace, our first mission was simple: make it easy to visually capture what’s happening on the jobsite. That mission was good, and it worked! Our customers have captured more than 50 billion square feet of projects globally, and that number is growing rapidly. And now, our vision has grown. We’re taking those images and turning what’s happening in the field into intelligence teams can use to run smarter and faster.

Disperse shares that vision. Their team built an incredible platform that takes construction progress tracking from a painful, low trust manual task to a fast, objective, and scalable process. They’ve proven that you can combine AI and human expertise to deliver accurate, verified progress data you can trust, based on image data from the field. Critically, the solution is simple, and provides data that fits perfectly into how teams already work.

We’ve spent months working closely together, validating the technology, and confirming the results on live projects. Our customers love the solution. They see the value, and when they decide to deploy OpenSpace Progress Tracking, their teams use it. A lot. And when they use OpenSpace Progress Tracking on one project, they expand the solution to many more. The verdict: it works beautifully.

The progress tracking vision is one builders have been asking for, for years. Many companies have tried to deliver. I’m proud to say we are delivering, at scale, for the industry. I truly believe this is not just a big moment for our two companies, but for construction generally.

What OpenSpace Progress Tracking delivers

OpenSpace Progress Tracking is part of our Visual Intelligence Platform—giving builders one connected system to capture everything on the jobsite, turn that imagery into intelligence, and put that intelligence into action.

Our solution is a hybrid approach—AI-powered analysis + human verification—delivering speed and accuracy. No black-box. No guesswork. Just results you can trust.

With OpenSpace Progress Tracking, field teams can:

Organize and analyze all visual data (from smartphones, 360° cameras, and drones) by place and time, for a complete, contextual record.
See what’s built and what’s not—across hundreds of components and schedule tasks.
Validate work-in-place for billing with clear, visual proof you can stand behind.
Spot risks early by comparing actual progress to plan, so you can catch issues before they cause delays.
Resolve disputes and issue payments faster with verified, objective progress data.
Integrate seamlessly with key tools like P6, Asta, Microsoft Project, and Excel to keep progress, schedule, and cost data in sync.

Olli’s take: a winning combination

For these partnerships to work, both companies need to be jointly building something customers love. And you need to have two company visions—and cultures—that mesh. Our teams do, and it’s been so fun working together. Olli, Disperse’s CEO, said this:

Disperse was built to give construction teams a trustworthy, objective picture of progress. By joining OpenSpace, we can deliver that clarity at unprecedented scale—and bring even more value to builders on projects of every size.

Olli Liukkaala, CEO, Disperse

I couldn’t agree more. This combination strengthens our shared mission: helping builders make smarter decisions, reduce risk, and deliver with confidence—based on reality.

Looking ahead

This acquisition deepens our leadership as the Visual Intelligence Platform for construction—a place where reality data and AI come together to give builders the full picture of their projects. OpenSpace Progress Tracking, in combination with our recent wave of announcements, including reality-first field execution tools via OpenSpace Field, aerial data integration via OpenSpace Air, and our lightning fast OpenSpace BIM Viewer, paint that picture.

This acquisition also gives OpenSpace a new superpower: the ability to make sense of massive amounts of imagery and progress data with accuracy and context. That’s super useful for reporting, and it’s foundational for the next generation of Spatial AI. You’ll hear more about this from us over the next year and beyond, but suffice to say: OpenSpace is now in an even stronger position to pioneer next-generation AI systems that truly understand reality. This is exciting because it places OpenSpace at the forefront of the next wave of AI broadly, a wave that goes by the term Spatial AI, of course, but also “Physical AI”, “Real World AI,” and others. You’ll be reading about it a lot in the mainstream technology press in the coming years!

Some brass tacks

For existing OpenSpace Progress Tracking customers, nothing changes—you’ll keep using the same tools you know and love. For existing Disperse customers, nothing changes—you too will keep using the same tools you know and love. For new customers, OpenSpace Progress Tracking is available as an add-on to an OpenSpace Capture subscription license and available at the project level or for your entire portfolio of projects.

We’re thrilled to welcome the talented Disperse team to OpenSpace, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
