5 Reasons Matterport News Today (15 Feb. 2024) is Great News for Matterport Service Providers

Commentary and Analysis by

If you read all the Matterport news (and related links) announced today (Thursday, 15 February 2024), it may make your head spin:

Matterport Launches Property Intelligence: Transforming Real Estate and Property Management with AI and Automation

While most (if not all of these features) have been in public beta (or previously announced as coming in 2024) and reported (and discussed) in the We Get Around Network Forum, the official launch announcement should mean more money for Matterport Service Providers:

1. Matterport features as a competitive advantage to other 3D/360 hosting platforms
2. Additional Add Ons to offer (for more money)
3. Additional learning curve means more companies outsourcing Matterport to experts (that stay current)
4. More companies interested in using Matterport (particularly enterprise, AEC, Facilities Management)
5. Charge more for Matterport digital twins (for AEC, Facilities Management and Commercial Real Estate)

Examples

1. Matterport features as a competitive advantage to other 3D/360 hosting platforms

✓ Business Card
✓ Quick Link
✓ Mini-Map
✓ Automatic room labels
✓ Automatic room dimensions
✓ Property Report

2. Additional Add Ons to offer

✓ Generate BIM files directly from Matterport digital twins
✓ Generate CAD files directly from Matterport digital twins
✓ Generate E57 files directly from Matterport digital twins
✓ Faster turnaround on CAD files (in three business days): including drawings

3. Additional learning curve means more companies outsourcing Matterport to experts (that stay current)

✓ How to use Matterport as a punch list communications tool (Tags to coordinate among team)
✓ How to use Matterport in design and construction projects for estimating renovation costs
✓ Understanding all the Matterport features (and how to implement)

4. More companies interested in using Matterport

✓ Sync with Procore
✓ Sync with Autodesk
✓ Save 50 percent on travel (AEC, Design and Build, Construction)
✓ Integrates with AWS
✓ Remote Training

5. Charge more for Matterport tours (for AEC, Facilities Management and Commercial Real Estate)

✓ Matterport color floor plans
✓ Matterport floor plans with -- or without -- furniture
✓ Add client logo to Matterport floor plans
✓ Bundle Matterport digital twin delivered with BIM, CAD and E57 files

The enhanced Matterport features launched today (15 February 2024) - many made possible by integrating AI to enable automation - will help Matterport Service Providers offer and deliver more value to customers and make more money.

The additional value-add features announced and implemented by Matterport will also grow the space for digital twins resulting in more business for Matterport Service Providers including verticals beyond residential real estate.

What are your thoughts?

Best,

Dan

Very good posting, Dan, with many valid and important points! Unfortunately I do not have time right now, but I am really excited actually checking out these new features later this week.

And the look into the future (Project Genesis) simply is mind-blowing 🚀

Good to FINALLY see some automation improvements in MP's 3D presentations. I'm wondering if any of these new features will be off limits to classic plans by early MP adopters (from what I saw in the editor, seems like we're left out in the cold again) and whether they'll now increase their prices even further. Any insight?

✓ Property Report

2. Additional Add Ons to offer

The new features are coming fast and furious. I'm happy to see them! The folks that keep up will be able to add great value for their clients.

With all the functionality summarized by Dan be available on historical models as long as they are hosted in one of the new plans?

Hi @MarcelG

In your "spare" time, can you:

1. Duplicate a model in your Matterport classic pricing plan account?
2. Transfer it to the Matterport new pricing plan?
3. See if the features work on Matterport old account models in the Matterport new pricing account?

Enjoy your weekend,

Dan

Great post, thanks Dan!

@MarcelG I just logged-in to my Matterport account, and was able to implement these new features on my old models (using a non-classic account). Great news!

@JamesG ...Hey, just to be sure, you have both a classic and non-classic plan... you then transferred a model from the classic to newer plan in order to utilize it with the new automation features?

Hey @Shakoure .. To clarify, I don't have a classic account at all. The older models were already in the non-classic account, I just tried to use the new features on them and was successful doing so.

I have a classic plan since 2016. Can I implement this? How do I do it? My plan supports the Pro and Pro 2 and 100 active spaces
