A million employees across 22 countries are about to experience what happens when Physical AI meets premium workplace technology
September, 2025– Veris and Crestron Electronics today announced a strategic partnership that transforms meeting rooms into intelligent command centers for the world's most ambitious enterprises.
The math is simple: Crestron powers the meeting rooms where trillion-dollar decisions happen. Veris makes those rooms think. Together, they've built the operating system for the future of work.
"This partnership represents a fundamental shift in workplace intelligence.," said Vaibhav Jain, Chief Product Officer at Veris. "We're encoding intelligence into the physical world. We're moving beyond passive booking systems to active space optimization—where AI continuously learns, adapts, and ensures that collaboration infrastructure aligns with organizational priorities. The result is not just operational efficiency, but a competitive advantage in how enterprises enable their teams to work."
The $4.2 Billion Opportunity Hidden in Plain Sight
Here's what the top-performing hybrid enterprises already know: Meeting rooms, huddle spaces and focus pods are the critical hub for collaboration when teams gather on anchor days. They're where strategy becomes action, partnerships form, and innovation happens. Yet, most businesses still treat them simply as conference tables with screens, failing to recognize their essential role in enabling productivity and purposeful in-office work.
The Veris-Crestron integration recognizes meeting rooms for what they actually are: the nerve centers of modern workplaces.
"Crestron has spent 50 years perfecting the hardware layer of meeting spaces," said Bob Bavolacco, Director of Strategic & Technology Partnerships at Crestron. "Veris brings the intelligence layer. Combined, we're delivering something entirely new: spaces that think, adapt, and evolve with the enterprises they serve."
The Ghost Meeting Problem: Up to 40% of booked rooms sit empty during peak in-office days. Forgotten recurring meetings. Calendar hoarding. No-show reservations. While employees battle for collaboration space, your meeting rooms are lying about their availability. Veris doesn't just book rooms—it liberates them. Automatic release when attendees don't check in. AI detection of phantom recurring meetings. Real-time availability updates across every display. The result: 35% reduction in wasted space and millions recovered in real estate value.
Physical AI: When Buildings Learn
The Room Knows You: Multi-factor authentication meets invisible access control. Your phone becomes your key, your identity becomes your credential, and entry takes three seconds. Every authorized person flows in. Everyone else stays out. Security becomes seamless.
The Room Adapts: Meeting with Tokyo? The displays adjust for video optimization. Presenting to the board? Lighting shifts for perfect visibility. Client pitch? The environment sets itself for impact. The room reads the context and responds accordingly.
The Room Remembers: Analytics that actually matter. Who showed up versus who was invited. Which rooms drive decisions. When technology fails and why. Every meeting makes the next one better.
The Room Connects: Native Microsoft Teams integration. Calendar intelligence. Visitor workflows that guide guests from lobby to conference room. Everything talks to everything, Finally.
The Room Scales: Data residency in US, EU, India, and Middle East. Each region gets sovereignty. Each office gets the same premium experience. Global consistency, local compliance.
The New Rules of Enterprise Meetings
Facility heads become workplace architects. They shape experiences that attract talent and impress clients. Security heads become enablement leaders. They protect without restricting, secure without slowing. Admin heads become culture builders. They create environments where people do their best work.
"We measure success by what becomes possible," added Jain. "When a major consulting firm can host five simultaneous global board meetings with perfect security and zero friction. When a startup can punch above its weight because its meeting room runs like a Fortune 500 boardroom. When every person who enters feels both welcomed and protected. That's Physical AI at work."
Built for Scale, Designed for Humans
The Veris-Crestron integration deploys in hours on existing Crestron infrastructure. No rip and replace. No months of planning. No army of consultants.
