Matterport ranked in the top 50 for small/mid-sized companies in both categories. “As our team of Matterpeeps continues to grow, promoting our employees’ quality of life and ensuring that Matterport is a place where women can thrive have remained top priorities,” said Jean Barbagelata, Chief People Officer of Matterport. “These awards feel particularly meaningful because they are based on feedback from our own people. We’re proud to hear that our employees, of which 40 per cent are female, feel empowered and connected, even during a global pandemic.” Best Company Culture Award Comparably’s Best Company Culture category focuses on 16 core culture metrics, ranging from compensation and career growth to leadership and work environment. Feedback was anonymously collected by employees during a 12-month voting period between November 2020 and November 2021. Best Company for Women Award Comparably’s Best Company for Women category is based on sentiment ratings provided by female employees who anonymously rated their companies during a 12-month voting period between November 2020 and November 2021. Rankings were determined by a series of 50 questions in 20 core culture metrics, including compensation, career growth, leadership, and work environment. To achieve its goal of creating an inclusive workplace that brings out the best in each individual, Matterport holds monthly discussions on a variety of diversity and inclusion topics and provides an inclusion-focused Slack channel for employees to have more informal discussions. Additionally, all employees are trained on recognizing and responding to unconscious bias. Earlier this year, Matterport won three Comparably awards, including Best Compensation, Best Leadership Team and Best Company Outlook, all based on ratings from Matterport employees.

RPM Pizza Streamlines Store Renovation with Matterport and Cuts Project Time in Half America’s largest Domino’s Pizza Franchisee uses Matterport digital twins to remotely manage maintenance and projects for 30 stores SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), the leading spatial data company driving the digital transformation of the built world, today announced that RPM Pizza, the largest Domino’s Pizza franchisee in the country, adopted Matterport to expedite the simultaneous redesign and renovation of 30 stores in just six months, a process that would typically take twice as long. By capturing digital twins of stores with Matterport, the company has cut the time to initiate these projects by 50 percent by enabling virtual site visits and collaboration in 3D. “Improving store design and layout lets us better serve our customers,” said Nate Lee, Facilities Manager for RPM Pizza. “Two of our key principles for serving our facilities' clients are reasonable cost and on-time response. To meet these goals, we needed to improve their space at a reasonable cost as quickly as possible. Matterport helped us achieve that.” In order to meet RPM Pizza’s goal of reducing the average delivery time (ADT) between receiving and delivering an order, the company needed to redesign store layouts and upgrade the equipment to increase food prep efficiency. Digital twins - or photorealistic, accurate 3D replicas of each store - enabled facilities managers to virtually assess areas of improvement for each store, significantly shorten lengthy bidding processes, and ensure that expensive, new equipment would fit by using accurate digital measurements. “Matterport enables us to communicate more clearly and consistently with our contractors and leadership. This new workflow allows them to visit the store without needing to travel, so we can work together in real time to make informed decisions about the project,” continued Lee. RPM relies on Matterport as a tool for ongoing collaboration even after renovations are complete. If an individual store has an HVAC issue, that store’s digital twin can easily be accessed. Knowing exactly where to find the equipment in question and access the information about it through embedded Mattertags can help troubleshoot the issue on the spot. “RPM Pizza is a great example of digital twins shifting how facilities are designed, constructed and managed in a progressively more remote world,” said Stephanie Lin, Director of Business Strategy for Retail and AEC at Matterport. “Matterport eases the pain of typically manual and laborious design and build activities such as obtaining site measurements, documenting and maintaining on-site equipment, contractor bidding and negotiation, and complex coordination between facility management related trades. All of this enables teams to remain connected at every stage of the process by providing quick and easy access to retrieve current store conditions while maximizing efficiency at the same time.” Learn about Matterport for Facilities Management here.

Matterport Powers New Experiences for Retailers and Consumers Retailers turn to digital twins to reach consumers virtually while providing offline, shoppable experiences SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (“Matterport”) (Nasdaq: MTTR), the leading spatial data company driving the digital transformation of the built world, is powering new experiences for retailers and their customers. Using Capture Services On-Demand, Matterport Pro2 cameras, or the Matterport Smartphone app, retail customers are creating virtual showrooms, curating shoppable digital experiences with e-commerce integration, and making store operations more efficient. “Our retail customers use Matterport technology in a variety of different ways, whether that’s creating a virtual showroom where consumers can shop for holiday gifts or using digital twins to remotely manage store design and operations,” said Conway Chen, Vice President of Business Development of Matterport. “Even for consumers who may be locked down in their own country due to the pandemic, they can still visit their favorite store virtually and see merchandise presented in a real space, as if they were walking through an actual showroom. Our technology is also allowing influencers and designers to merchandise their products directly to their followers. Matterport technology is improving the shopping experience for both retailers and consumers.” Harrods uses Matterport Capture Services to create virtual showroom for consumers With travel still not possible for many Harrods customers, the world-renowned London-based department store searched for a creative solution that would still allow customers to visit. Using Matterport Capture Services, a platform for enterprise customers to connect with Matterport Capture Technicians to scan spaces, Harrods created a virtual showroom showcasing its new home and furniture department. The immersive experience provides personal shopping consultations and allows customers to view products so they can better plan an in-store visit, if desired. For Harrods, Matterport offered the solution needed to create a more immersive virtual shopping experience than traditional online shopping. “Whilst travel may still be impossible for some of our customers, we wanted to find a creative solution for them to visit the department from the comfort of their home, no matter where in the world that may be,” says Annalise Fard, Director of Interiors, Beauty, Fine Watches and Jewelry at Harrods. “We also thought Matterport would be a great tool for customers who would rather shop from home through our personal shopping services or for those customers that would like to peruse the showroom ahead of visiting Harrods to help them better plan their visit.” Read the case study. Openhaus creates immersive e-commerce platform with Matterport featuring influencer homes Carson Clement, co-founder of Openhaus and a Matterport Pro2 owner, was inspired by the camera’s ability to create digital twins. The technology inspired him to launch Openhaus – a shoppable, virtual home tour experience that invites consumers to shop the homes of influencers, designers, and tastemakers. With Matterport’s smartphone app available for iPhone and Android, these influencers create a digital twin of their physical space, and use Mattertags within these spaces allowing shoppers to view their homes, and interact with and purchase household items featured through these digital twins. “Brands spend a lot of money making their retail spaces beautiful, but those are limited by physical geography constraints,” said Clement. “We can capitalize on those investments with gorgeous, immersive online shopping experiences in 3D. For companies that want consumers to spend more time engaging with their brands in a memorable way, Openhaus is an ideal solution,” says Clement. Read the case study.

Save 10 Percent on 1st 12 Months with Voucher Code: WGAN  https://offer.giraffe360.com/wgan/ In this episode of WGAN-TV Live at 5, Dan Smigrod sits visits with Jānis Beinerts, Senior Product Designer at Giraffe360, to explore the newly launched Giraffe PRO Camera and the upgraded Giraffe360 platform designed for real estate photographers. The conversation opens with a deep dive into the complete suite of deliverables generated from a single property scan - property websites, AI-enhanced photos, 3D virtual tours, floor plans, and multiple video styles, and more - all produced automatically through the platform’s processing pipeline. Jānis explains how the Giraffe PRO Camera was engineered not just as a piece of hardware but as part of a larger ecosystem where hardware, software, and automation converge. He describes how the Giraffe PRO Camera and platform together enable photographers to deliver a multichannel marketing bundle that increases listing engagement, boosts time-on-page, and generates more leads for agents. The discussion highlights Giraffe360’s data-supported claim that properties captured with the system sell up to seven days faster, with the new Giraffe PRO Camera expected to widen this advantage. Dan and Jānis walk through a real example of a single property website generated automatically by the platform. Jānis explains how assets such as HDR photos, floor plans, and property metadata are captured, processed, and surfaced to buyers in a clean, structured layout. Some data is pulled automatically - such as location and measured area - while other fields can be edited directly by the photographer or agent to fine-tune the listing. The episode also tees up one of the most compelling features: Giraffe360’s ability to produce multiple styles of marketing videos without shooting any video at all, thanks to advanced AI reconstruction and creative automation. This expands what real estate photographers can offer without increasing onsite capture time. Throughout the episode, Dan asks pointed questions that help real estate photographers understand not just the what but also the why: why multichannel marketing matters, why automation is essential for scaling, and why combining hardware, software, and AI is redefining real estate media production.

www.WGAN.info/fotello In this episode of WGAN-TV, Dan Smigrod welcomes back Fotello Co-Founder Harman Walia to showcase Fotello’s newest enhancements that simplify how real estate media professionals edit, deliver, and get paid for their work. Harman explains how Fotello’s mission remains focused on helping photographers deliver their best work while saving money — a guiding principle for every product decision the company makes. Key Highlights 1. Twilight Photo Editing Harman introduces the upgraded Twilight AI feature, which allows creators to convert daytime images into natural, realistic twilight scenes in just one click. The AI maintains architectural accuracy — nothing inside or outside the property is altered — ensuring ethical photo representation for real estate listings. 2. Unified Delivery Platform Fotello now enables users to deliver all digital assets—photos, videos, 3D tours, and floor plans—through one link. Real estate agents can preview, download, and even request revisions directly from the portal, reducing back-and-forth communication. 3. White-Label Sub-Domain For professionals seeking a fully branded experience, Fotello offers a white-label sub-domain option that removes all Fotello branding from delivery pages and emails. This feature allows photographers to present the portal as their own—ideal for brand consistency and client trust. 4. Integrated Payments The newly launched Fotello Payments integrates seamlessly with Stripe, allowing photographers to collect payments directly without additional Fotello transaction fees. Funds are deposited daily, and all payout data can be viewed and exported from a single dashboard. 5. Instant and Same-Day Delivery Harman shares how some users have installed Starlink internet in their vehicles to enable instant delivery of photos right after shoots. This capability allows creators to offer same-day or even immediate turnaround—either as a premium service or as a competitive differentiator. 6. Onboarding and Support Fotello has streamlined its onboarding to remove previous friction points.

Together, they conduct a hands-on “asset review” of a real property scan — 330 Sussex Circle in Vacaville, California — to evaluate every deliverable that the Giraffe360 platform automatically produces: 3D virtual tours, HDR photos, detailed floor plans, and a short-form marketing video. Mike shares his first impressions of the visual quality, accuracy, and workflow efficiency, while Tom explains how the all-in-one system streamlines production for REALTORS and media professionals. Their discussion highlights how the Giraffe PRO Camera eliminates the need for multiple vendors, reduces turnaround time to as little as 24 hours, and provides consistent, professional results across every listing. Key takeaways include ► The ability to create complete marketing packages from a single scan session. ► How Giraffe360’s automated HDR and floor plan generation save hours of post-production time. ► The marketing value of pairing 3D virtual tours with accurate measurements and auto-generated videos. ► The business advantage of offering same-day or next-day delivery to clients. By the end of this WGAN-TV Podcast episode, viewers will understand how Giraffe360 enables REALTORS and real estate media professionals to elevate their listings, build brand consistency, and deliver faster results — all while simplifying their workflow.
