In today’s environment of staffing shortages and rising labor costs, engineering and surveying firms are increasingly turning to emerging technologies like 3D laser scanning to stay competitive. Yet many still struggle with how to transition from conventional methods to 3D scanning and insure their projects remain profitable as they incorporate a new workflow.

In this webinar, NorthStar shares how they made that shift. Known for their work on roadway improvements, water systems, and public works projects, NorthStar recognized a growing demand for high-quality reality capture data that they could provide to their clients. Meeting that demand required rethinking technology, workflows, and building a strong business case for adoption.

You’ll hear how NorthStar:

• Evaluated scanning technologies and why they chose mobile mapping over terrestrial laser scanning
• Developed Scan-to-CAD workflows and software integrations, ensuring seamless flow of data from the NavVis IVION cloud platform into downstream applications for creating CAD deliverables
• Analyzed ROI to measure reduced field costs, determined potential profit increase, and identified the ability to take on more work at scale
• Overcame initial adoption barriers to continue delivering projects on time as they incorporated a new workflow

This is more than a technology discussion. It is a candid look at how NorthStar built new capabilities that improved efficiency, created new revenue opportunities, and delivered more value to their clients.

What You’ll Learn:

• Technology Choices in Practice – How to evaluate mobile mapping against terrestrial laser scanners and conventional methods
• Workflow Lessons – Key takeaways from Scan-to-CAD processes and software integrations to maximize efficiency
• ROI and Business Case – How to evaluate costs, margins, and scaling opportunities
• Overcoming Early Barriers – Practical steps to move from evaluation to adoption while maintaining quality and speed
