About the Companies
NavVis is the spatial twin platform for the built world. NavVis was founded on a single conviction: that the people who build and operate the physical world deserve to know exactly what that world looks like – accurately, instantly, and always. Today, NavVis combines 10x faster, survey-grade mobile reality capture (NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX) with an enterprise spatial twin platform (NavVis IVION) that turns captured data into shared, trusted, always-current digital reality. More than two billion square meters of the world's most complex industrial plants, construction sites, and buildings now live on the NavVis platform—reducing waste, rework, and downtime, and forming the foundation for automation, analytics, and AI-driven decision-making at scale.
