NavVis, founded in 2013 as a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich, develops hardware and software systems that capture photorealistic digital twins of physical spaces. The company's technology addresses a specific need across surveying, construction, and manufacturing: transforming complex spatial data into actionable information that professionals can use to understand and optimise the built environment.
The company's product line combines mobile mapping systems - including the NavVis MLX and NavVis VLX - with NavVis IVION, a cloud-based platform designed to extract insights from spatial data. This hardware-software integration approach enables customers to digitise operations with high precision, creating detailed digital representations of facilities and sites.
NavVis operates from Munich with a team composed of engineers, surveyors, and industry specialists. The company works with organisations ranging from industry incumbents to innovative enterprises across surveying, construction, and manufacturing sectors. The culture emphasises technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving, grounded in the mission to improve how professionals interact with and understand the spaces they work within.
