HubStar, a leader in dynamic workplace solutions, has acquired UK-based Spica Technologies, a pioneer in workplace experience and IoT technology. The acquisition aims to deliver a unified, AI-powered platform that combines employee engagement, spatial intelligence, and operational efficiency for hybrid and dynamic work environments.
Creating a Unified Smart Workplace Ecosystem
Spica Technologies has earned recognition for its award-winning workplace experience platform, providing tools such as wayfinding, comfort controls, wellness integrations, and IoT-enabled building operations. The company’s expertise in indoor positioning and smart building integration complements HubStar’s AI-driven solutions for occupancy planning, utilization analytics, and employee engagement.
The combined platform offers a comprehensive solution for organizations seeking to optimize space, reduce costs, lower emissions, and enhance employee outcomes simultaneously. The merger also creates an end-to-end visitor management system spanning pre-registration, access control, lobby check-in, contractor workflows, and real-time analytics—all through a single, enterprise-grade platform.
Addressing the Challenges of Hybrid Work
“Today’s workplace leaders are tasked with balancing three imperatives: reducing costs, creating exceptional employee experiences, and advancing sustainability goals,” said Steve Vatidis, Executive Chairman of HubStar. “This acquisition addresses all three challenges head-on. By bringing together Spica’s human-centric design and IoT capabilities with HubStar’s always-on spatial intelligence, we are creating a new category leader for dynamic workplace management.”
The acquisition will also expand HubStar’s partner ecosystem, incorporating Spica’s existing network of building technology providers and enterprise clients into HubStar’s H2O platform. This integration promises faster time-to-value, consolidated workplace technologies, and enhanced insights for real estate strategy and workforce planning.
Why It Matters
As hybrid work becomes the norm, organizations increasingly need unified, data-driven solutions that combine real-time intelligence, engagement, and automation. By merging HubStar’s advanced scheduling, AI occupancy optimization, and scenario modeling with Spica’s experience-driven technology, the combined platform delivers a single source of truth for workplace decision-making, helping organizations align strategy with employee experience and operational performance.
The acquisition positions HubStar as a leader in next-generation workplace management, providing enterprises with the tools to navigate the fast-evolving dynamics of hybrid work while enhancing productivity, engagement, and sustainability.
