– The partnership leverages Matterport’s digital twin technology to create precise 3D replicas that integrate with BIM and lifecycle management tools, reducing site visits by 30-40% and cutting project costs.
– Omnix provides training and consulting to build local expertise in digital twin deployment, upskilling Saudi talent and ensuring seamless integration with existing tools like CAD and BIM.
– The initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, aiming to transform urban development through data-driven digital twins that improve efficiency and competitiveness across the Kingdom.
In a significant development for the Kingdom’s technological landscape, Omnix International has launched advanced Matterport digital twin solutions across Saudi Arabia. This expansion targets key sectors including Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC), Real Estate, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Tourism, and Retail. The initiative arrives as Saudi Arabia accelerates its digital transformation, with these technologies now recognized as essential tools for achieving faster project completion, improved cost efficiency, enhanced sustainability, and seamless multi-stakeholder collaboration.
The timing of this launch aligns perfectly with the Saudi government’s active push for technology localization, encouraging global innovators to partner with local firms. This is particularly crucial for the Kingdom’s numerous giga-projects, which operate on demanding schedules. A major benefit of the cloud-based spatial data platform is its ability to connect multiple ministries, consultants, and contractors in real-time, enabling effective collaboration without requiring their physical presence on-site.
Walid Gomaa, CEO of Omnix International, emphasized the strategic importance of this move. He noted that the Saudi market is undergoing remarkable growth across all industries, yet it also faces distinct operational challenges. The demand for digital twin and reality capture technologies has never been higher, driven by the nation’s ambitious smart city initiatives and the government’s focus on localization. Through the strengthened partnership with Matterport, Omnix is bringing a world-class platform directly to the Kingdom, transforming sophisticated digital twin technology into a practical tool that fuels growth, promotes sustainability, and builds long-term competitiveness.
Matterport’s highly accurate 3D replicas produce precise digital twins that Omnix skillfully integrates into Building Information Modeling (BIM) and comprehensive lifecycle management systems. This integration guarantees that all project stakeholders operate from a single, reliable source of information and can conduct detailed digital walkthroughs. The practical outcome is a substantial 30-40% reduction in the need for repeat site inspections, which directly helps projects save valuable time, lower operational costs, and prevent costly approval delays. Omnix complements the technology with dedicated Matterport training and consulting services designed to build strong local expertise in digital twin deployment, thereby upskilling national talent. This approach ensures smooth integration with existing CAD, BIM, and facilities management tools, turning captured spatial data into actionable insights that boost efficiency throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Rizwan Kareem, Business Unit Manager for Industry Support Solutions at Omnix, highlighted the transformative potential. He stated that Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects and rapidly expanding digital economy are redefining the boundaries of urban development, with digital twins positioned at the very heart of this change. The partnership with Matterport empowers organizations of every scale, from massive development projects to commercial and hospitality venues, to digitize their physical assets, minimize site visits, enable remote teamwork, and complete projects more swiftly and efficiently. This effort is fundamentally about converting the aspirations of Vision 2030 into immersive, data-driven realities while generating concrete, tangible value for clients throughout the Kingdom.
Together, Omnix and Matterport are dedicated to enabling this promising future by effectively connecting global technological innovation with deep local expertise. This empowers Saudi Arabian enterprises to fundamentally transform their approaches to designing, constructing, and managing critical assets.
