Adoption of indoor 3D mapping has followed the slow pace of airborne, terrestrial (HDS) and vehicle-mounted mobile platform markets that preceded indoor solutions. My experience at NavVis gave me added insight on indoor mapping trends and business strategies for much faster growth rates. An optimal business model features the following elements:• Broader solution mix and faster delivery from a collaboration of select strategic partners, rather than individual service provider firms competing against each other• Strategic market segment rollout chosen from high-potential applications• Application-specific workflows, deliverables and success stories that present a much clearer Value Proposition and branding to potential customers – and their customers• Integrated solutions from multiple interior and exterior 3D capture / modeling platforms

NavVis (www.navvis.com) was founded in Munich, Germany in 2013 and has created industry-leading, cart-based mobile indoor digital transformation and navigation solutions. This web-browser streamed capability enables fast, user-friendly 3D immersion without loading special software.Image, LiDAR and navigation data are further exploited by software applications. I was tasked to open and grow Scan4CAD and Scan4BIM markets in North America and work with NavVis Partners and customers around the world to select and implement optimized Scan4CAD workflows. Additional responsibilities for NavVis Scan4CAD and Scan4BIM solutions were:• Provide 3D solution strategy & marketing guidance based on value proposition and segment dominance • Coordinate CAD & BIM products to be supported• Advise product development, production, customer support and product management best practices• Support Partner sales worldwide

Consulted for companies specializing in indoor 3D reality capture and reality modeling. My primary activity was creating a 4th startup specializing in workflow software for indoor mapping, exploitation, visualization and sharing. Source data was LiDAR point clouds and images captured by any mobile indoor capture system including handhelds, backpacks and carts. We began software development to create 3D models directly or exported into CAD or BIM software applications. Planned visualization solutions anticipated the tremendous growth of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) demand.A business plan was generated reflecting five years of exploring indoor mapping markets and solutions. The funding process had also been initiated at the time I discovered and joined NavVis GmbH.
