Appspace Strengthens Its Position by Acquiring Igloo Software in Employee Communication Sector

Appspace Acquires Igloo Software to Enhance Workplace Communication

In a notable strategic move, Appspace, a leading workplace experience platform, has finalized an agreement to acquire Igloo Software, a prominent provider of modern intranet solutions. This acquisition, announced on September 11, 2025, is aimed at strengthening Appspace's leadership in employee communications and enhancing their already robust offerings.

Appspace has built a reputation for delivering a platform that keeps employees informed and engaged. With the acquisition of Igloo, they are set to enhance their capabilities significantly. This strategic decision integrates over 325 of Igloo's customers, including several Fortune 500 companies across key sectors such as healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and hospitality. The acquisition is expected to unify Appspace’s solutions and continue its momentum in adapting to the evolving workplace landscape, particularly in light of the increasingly distributed nature of modern workforces.

Tony DiBenedetto, CEO of Appspace, remarked on the importance of effective employee engagement in contemporary organizations. As companies seek innovative ways to connect with their workforce—ranging from corporate offices to frontline employees—there is a growing demand for cohesive platforms that resonate with how teams operate today. “This acquisition reinforces our ability to bridge the gaps in communication, content, and spatial needs, ensuring we can better support our clients and empower their employees,” he stated.

The addition of Igloo's team into Appspace brings critical expertise and further enriches their service offerings in employee communication and workplace culture enhancement. Current Igloo customers will still receive unwavering support during and after the transition, with the option to migrate to the fully integrated Appspace platform. This unified platform combines features like a modern intranet, employee mobile applications, digital signage, space reservation systems, visitor management, and wayfinding, offering a comprehensive suite of tools to enhance workplace efficiency and employee satisfaction.

Mike Gaburo, CEO of Igloo, emphasized the significance of this acquisition. He noted, “The future of workplace technology lies in platforms that provide flexibility and integration, designed to support various roles, teams, and locations effectively.” This merger not only aligns with Igloo’s commitment to customer success but also paves the way for enhanced connectivity and a modernized approach to workplace communication.

This milestone marks Appspace's third acquisition within the workplace communications domain, following their successful integrations of Beezy and The Marlin Company, indicating a robust and strategic approach to market consolidation and expansion in employee engagement technologies.
