Itoki launches Japan's first integrated workplace platform, "Appspace"
Eliminate information sharing issues in a distributed office world. Centralize management of signage distribution, visitor reception, and in-house portals.
ITOKI CORPORATION (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Koji Minato) will be the first in Japan to begin selling Appspace, Inc.'s (Head office: Tampa, Florida; CEO: Tony DiBenedetto) integrated workplace platform "Appspace" on Thursday, August 7, 2025. It will centrally manage information and functions such as signage distribution, visitor reception, floor guides, and internal portals, resolving the increasingly complex issue of accessing internal information under hybrid work.

With the current spread of hybrid work and hot desking in offices, there are an increasing number of cases where information and operations such as visitor reception, conference room reservations, and internal portals are distributed across multiple tools. In addition, there are cases where the posting and notification methods differ from location to location, resulting in confusion such as "I don't know where what is" and "I don't receive the information I need." Nowadays, there is a need for a system that can clearly organize and share information related to the workplace.
"Appspace" is a workplace experience platform that helps organizations provide their employees with the latest information. By centrally managing information from both office and digital workspaces, it improves employee work efficiency and invigorates communication. It delivers and displays a variety of information, including internal company announcements, floor guides, and visitor information, on displays, and also provides cloud-based employee chat functionality and the latest intranet features. It is already used by millions of people worldwide. The platform works with major collaboration tools, displays, and IoT devices, allowing for gradual implementation while utilizing existing displays.
Our company has previously provided office construction and operation services, as well as related consulting services. With the launch of "Appspace," we will accelerate the creation of a technology-driven "information infrastructure for the working environment" and support the realization of diverse work styles for companies.

"We are thrilled to be the first in Japan to begin selling Appspace, a solution that has been adopted by companies around the world, primarily in the United States. Appspace is an innovative solution that integrates both office and digital workplace functions, something that has not existed in Japan until now. By consolidating information and systems that were previously scattered throughout the company and creating an environment where everyone can smoothly access the information they need, we believe that it can contribute to both improving organizational productivity and stimulating cross-departmental interaction and communication."
