NavVis introduces CLX: The first agile handheld capture device for Reliable, Everyday documentation at scale. Munich, September 1, 2026: NavVis, the Source of Spatial Truth for the built world, is setting new standards for capturing and documenting with NavVis CLX. The new agile, handheld capture device complements NavVis MLX and NavVis VLX and is specifically designed for high-volume, everyday documentation. With NavVis CLX, companies can put trusted, professional reality capture in every hand and on every job, accelerating access to reliable as-built data. NavVis CLX features dual LiDAR architecture, designed to ensure complete, comprehensive data capture, producing clean, low-noise point clouds that can be used for everyday downstream documentation workflows. NavVis CLX is ideal for companies managing a high volume of routine as-built documentation projects, as well as general surveying and reality capture firms with mixed project portfolios and where high-precision scanners may be unnecessary or inefficient for standard documentation-grade work. It is particularly suited to area referencing, site assessment, and quantity surveying, as well as LOD200 Scan-to-CAD/BIM and 2D drafting. Dr. Georg Schroth, CTO and co-founder of NavVis, states: "With NavVis CLX, we are introducing a new device that bridges a critical gap in the market. For the first time, we are combining the everyday usability, speed, and scalability required for high-volume documentation with the quality and reliability that companies expect from high-end devices. This innovation addresses the trade-off between accessibility and efficiency and professional-grade results, giving teams a faster path to reliable data at a lower cost of ownership and operations." Professional Data Capture on Every Site With NavVis CLX, companies aren't just buying a device. They're buying faster access to professional as-built data. Dual LiDAR combined with live 2D and 3D coverage feedback gives users confidence that they have captured the data they need before leaving the site, reducing uncertainty and the risk of costly revisits. Clean, low-noise point clouds provide a reliable foundation for downstream documentation, helping teams move efficiently from capture to deliverable. Compact, lightweight and adaptable for occupied, confined and hard-to-reach spaces, NavVis CLX is built for the realities of everyday capture. Its straightforward operation makes it easy to deploy across teams, helping companies expand capture capacity and complete more projects with the same resources. Workflow with IVION: From Capture to Deliverable The integration with IVION Processing and IVION provides one continuous path from capture to processing to usable data, accelerating projects and increasing efficiency. IVION Processing turns each capture into registered, ready-to-use data, while IVION helps teams manage project data and deliver it to customers in an accessible way. Teams and their customers can explore, measure, verify, and share reality data, or stream point clouds directly into Revit to author CAD or BIM on reliable ground truth. Together, NavVis CLX, IVION Processing, and IVION help teams move faster from site capture to a quality-controlled customer deliverable, reduce rework, and get more value from every capture. Built for Reliable, Everyday Capture NavVis CLX combines lightweight design, ergonomics, and reliability in one sophisticated device. Key features include: * Dual LiDAR for complete, reliable capture - Two strategically positioned LiDAR sensors provide complementary fields of view supporting more comprehensive capture across environments as well as stable SLAM tracking. * Live 2D and 3D coverage feedback - Real-time visualization on the integrated screen lets operators see their capture progress and identify potential gaps before leaving the site, reducing the risk of costly revisits. * Clean, low-noise point clouds - High-quality, documentation-grade data provides a reliable foundation for downstream workflows including area referencing, site assessment, quantity surveying, and LOD200 Scan-to-CAD/BIM. * Flexible capture for different environments - Use NavVis CLX with the included pole for elevated or difficult-to-reach areas, or with the optional harness for hands-free operation or extended scanning periods. * Efficient field-to-deliverable workflow - Together with IVION Processing and IVION connect capture with processing, access and downstream use, helping teams move faster from the site to usable as-built data. By combining reliable capture, trusted documentation-grade data and an efficient end-to-end workflow in a cost-effective device, NavVis CLX gives companies a practical way to scale reality capture across more projects. Teams can increase capacity and complete routine documentation efficiently while keeping specialist equipment and expertise focused on the projects that require them most. NavVis will unveil NavVis CLX to the public for the first time at INTERGEO 2026 taking place from September 15 to 17, 2026 in Munich at the NavVis booth in Hall C5.

NavVis raises $120m to accelerate its AI roadmap. By jnally on 17 August, 2026 Munich-based NavVis has raised $120 million to build its massive spatial data engine and accelerate the AI product roadmap. The investment round was led by US private equity firm The Jordan Company and existing shareholders Yttrium, KOZO KEIKAKU ENGINEERING and Cipio Partners. The company claims that more than 150,000 users in engineering, maintenance and construction teams across 50 countries rely on data produced by its systems, and that more than a billion square metres were scanned, processed and distributed in 2025 alone. NavVis says it plans to invest the funds raised into the next generation of technology and infrastructure required to scale spatial data turnover by another order of magnitude. This includes the AI layer required to "make spatial data semantic, actionable and accessible" for millions of operators, "as well as to the robots and agents that will bring physical AI into construction and industry". "Our mission is to keep the physical and digital reality synchronised for the world's most valuable assets," said NavVis co-founder and CEO, Dr Felix Reinshagen. "Its customers are the most demanding operators on Earth. And they are trusting Spatial Source with billions of square metres of spatial data of their most mission critical infrastructure. "We have raised this round to do even more: More scalability, more intelligence and ultimately more productivity for the underlaying assets." "Acting in the physical world has always meant planning against drawings no one fully trusts. We changed that," added NavVis co-founder and CTO, Dr Georg Schroth. "This round takes us further: Next-generation capture, a deeper intelligence layer, and an open platform for the physical AI ecosystem."

NavVis raises USD85 million to expand spatial data platform. August 13, 2026 To fund a significant expansion of its data infrastructure and a deeper push into AI, NavVis has raised US$85 million in funding. The fresh capital injection comes at a time when the Munich-based provider of spatial data capture and management technology for industrial and construction clients is looking to cement its position as a system of record for physical facilities and extend its reach in the US market. The round was led by US private equity firm The Jordan Company (TJC), with existing backers Yttrium, together with a consortium of industrial family offices - Kozo Keikaku Engineering Inc. (KKE) and Cipio Partners also participating. NavVis's core business is capturing detailed 3D scans of factories, urban environments, construction sites and other large facilities, then organizing that data through its cloud platform, NavVis IVION, so that engineering, maintenance and construction teams can reference an up-to-date model of a physical site rather than relying on outdated blueprints. The company's advanced VLX and MLX mapping devices are built to replace slower, traditional surveying with a faster, more efficient way to capture complex sites. According to NavVis, more than a billion square metres of industrial plants, construction sites and buildings were added to its platform in 2025 alone, and more than two billion square metres are now represented across the system. NavVis says over 150,000 users at engineering, maintenance and construction organizations use its data, with applications such as reducing downtime on automotive assembly lines, speeding up data-centre construction and shortening maintenance shutdowns at refineries. The data is used in planning robotics deployments and training industrial AI models. NavVis reports more than 1,500 customers across over 50 countries, including automakers BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz, and industrial firms ExxonMobil, BASF, Henkel, Bosch, KION and Siemens. It also has partnerships with SAP, NVIDIA and Autodesk. Funding to support scaling and AI development. Proceeds from the round will go toward scaling its data-processing capacity and building out an AI layer intended to make spatial data more directly usable, both for human operators and, eventually, for robots and autonomous systems operating in industrial and construction settings. NavVis also plans to expand its commercial presence in the United States, which it describes as its fastest-growing market in recent years. Co-founder and CEO Felix Reinshagen sees the round as central to that expansion. He said the company's customers are trusting it with large volumes of spatial data covering critical infrastructure, and that the new funding is meant to increase the platform's scalability and intelligence - and, in turn, the productivity gains it can offer to asset operators. He added that the company will put particular emphasis on growing its US business. Co-founder and CTO Georg Schroth described the shift the company is aiming to drive in how physical facilities are documented and managed. Historically, he said, work in industrial and construction settings has depended on drawings that no one fully trusts. NavVis aims to replaces that uncertainty with what Schroth called "one governed, always-current record that every team, every tool and every AI system can build on." With the new funding, he said, the company plans to invest in next-generation capture technology, a more developed data-intelligence layer and broader compatibility with other AI tools used in industrial settings.
