Appspace has taken a significant step forward in the workplace communications market by acquiring Igloo Software, a well-established provider of modern intranet solutions. This move brings over 325 new customers into Appspace’s portfolio, including large enterprises in healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and hospitality.
With this acquisition, Appspace solidifies its position as a leading platform for keeping employees informed and engaged, whether they work in an office, on the shop floor, or remotely around the world.
Founded to help organizations connect people to information and one another, Igloo has built a reputation for flexible intranet and digital workplace tools. Its customers rely on the platform to share company news, manage content, and drive collaboration across departments. By combining Igloo’s intranet expertise with its own suite of communications products – from digital signage and mobile notifications to space booking and wayfinding – Appspace will offer a truly unified experience under a single platform.
Existing Igloo users will continue to receive full support for their current intranet environments while gaining the option to explore deeper integration with Appspace. Over time, teams will be able to adopt new features, such as an employee mobile app, visitor check-in, and desk reservation tools, all managed through a single administrative interface. This streamlined approach aims to simplify the complexity of managing multiple point solutions and deliver consistent branding, messaging, and analytics across all channels.
The acquisition also reflects a larger shift toward people-first workplace technology. As companies adapt to distributed and hybrid work models, they need tools that can reach employees wherever they are. By weaving together intranet, communications, and space management capabilities, Appspace and Igloo will help organizations create more agile, transparent, and connected work environments.
This deal marks Appspace’s third strategic purchase in the employee communications space, building on earlier acquisitions of Beezy for collaboration and The Marlin Company for digital signage. Each acquisition has added new depth and scale to Appspace’s offerings, and Igloo’s technology will further strengthen the platform’s ability to serve a broad range of industries and use cases.
Looking ahead, Appspace plans to integrate Igloo’s development team into its global operations, accelerate product roadmaps, and expand customer success resources. Organizations that rely on intranets and communication tools can expect a clear migration path and ongoing innovation that aligns with the changing needs of their workforce.
