Spacesforce (Chinese: 空间原力) is a Chengdu-based SaaS and IoT company building a data-intelligence platform for commercial real estate. Its cloud software connects leasing operations, project management and asset management so that landlords, office-building operators and coworking brands can run their space digitally rather than on spreadsheets.
