Pegasus: deeper workplace insights, stronger employee connections, and simpler interactions with spaces
We’re kicking off 2025 with one of our largest releases to date: the highly anticipated Pegasus release. It’s loaded with enhancements designed to better understand your workplace, connect your employees, and simplify the way they interact with your physical workplace.

Device analytics and fleet management intelligence: Ensuring the health and effectiveness of your devices just got easier with enhanced device analytics and fleet management intelligence. Monitor and report on performance by location and gain deeper insights with visual graphs based on device count, status, version, and more.
Engagement analytics: Get even smarter with engagement analytics. Now publishers and feed owners can measure the pulse of the workforce with data like impressions, reach, engagement rate, and more for posts, stories, and pages. This information allows you to optimize your current content strategy by providing a deeper understanding into your content and how your employees are engaging.
Polls: Capture the thoughts and feedback of your team for better decision making with Polls. Flexible options like multi-choice selections, attachments, and poll duration, make them a great way to promote participation and engagement.
Questions: The Questions post type allows users to seek information from subject matter experts within a community, encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing. Viewers can answer questions, vote on the most helpful responses, and highlight the best solution prominently in the post.
Custom-branded mobile app: We’ve taken branding options to the next level. Now you can customize the logo and colors of the Appspace login screen and use your own branded app icon for a truly unique branded experience. And in order to deploy your custom app, Appspace now supports Microsoft Intune and complies with its mobile application management policy requirements.
Google Calendar plugin: We’ve introduced a new plugin that enhances the Google Calendar user experience with additional capabilities. Give greater context to your facilities and resources with interactive maps, advanced filters, and incorporate your own requirements with checkpoints. Whether it’s a meeting room, desk, huddle space, or even parking spot, Appspace for Google Calendar allows you to quickly find the perfect space.
Watchlists: Prevent unwanted individuals from gaining access to your facilities with watchlists. Create and manage lists of individuals barred from entering the premises and prevent employees from inviting unauthorized individuals with warning messages.
Logitech Dock Flex support: Appspace now supports automatic reservations with the Logitech Dock Flex for a frictionless hot desking experience. Simply connect your laptop to the dock and a reservation will be created until you end the connection. Plus, the Dock Flex can double as a digital signage display while it’s not being used.
IAdea device certification and LED integration: We’ve introduced built-in integration with IAdea room booking panels, allowing you to reserve rooms with Appspace and indicate availability with synchronized LED lighting. Support extends to IAdea’s XDS-1088-A for Android 7 and 9, as well as the WRP-1000 (version 2), XDS-1078, and XMP-8552 for Android 12.
