3D reality capture and digital twin platform for surveying, AEC, and manufacturing
NavVis builds hardware and software for capturing photorealistic digital twins of physical spaces—LiDAR scanners, mobile mapping technology, and cloud-based 3D visualization. The tech stack (AWS, Java, TypeScript, Angular, WebGL, Three.js, PostGIS) reflects a full-stack geospatial platform with heavy emphasis on 3D rendering and spatial databases. Engineering-led hiring (15 open roles) paired with active work on CI/CD automation and browser-based 3D applications signals focus on scaling rendering performance and developer velocity—both flagged as current pain points.
NavVis supplies reality-capture hardware and software to service providers and enterprises building digital twins of the built environment. The company operates across three main domains: mobile laser-scanning devices, cloud-based 3D capture and processing (NavVis Ivion product), and digital factory solutions for manufacturing operations. Headquartered in Munich with offices in the US, UK, and China, NavVis serves global customers in surveying, architecture/engineering/construction, and discrete manufacturing. Recent project work includes modernizing internal business processes via Dynamics 365 migration and expanding geographic footprint across new verticals.
Core stack includes AWS, Java, Spring, TypeScript, Angular, PostgreSQL with PostGIS extensions, C++, WebGL, and Three.js. Hardware integrates LiDAR, ARM processors, and embedded RTOS. Mobile mapping relies on SLAM and vision-based navigation.
Primary product is NavVis Ivion, a cloud platform for 3D capture and digital twin creation. Active projects include automated CI/CD pipelines, browser-based 3D applications, indoor mobile mapping technology, and migration of business processes to Dynamics 365 for scale.
