Matterport

What Matterport is

Matterport captures a navigable 3D scan of an interior from a phone or a dedicated camera, with dimensions you can measure afterwards. For restoration contractors documenting pre-loss condition, and for remodelers who need measurements without a second visit, the scan replaces a lot of guesswork and argument.

What it does well

• Navigable 3D record of a space
• Measurements taken after the visit
• Strong documentation for insurance disputes
• Shareable link for homeowners and adjusters

The AI, specifically

Automatic room detection, dimensioning, and object recognition in scans.

We name what the AI actually does rather than repeating the word, because in this market it covers everything from a genuine voice agent to a template that fills in a customer name.

Integrates with

Xactimate · DocuSketch workflows · CRM via API

Integration lists change often and "integrates" can mean anything from a real two-way sync to a one-way push through Zapier. Ask the vendor which fields move, in which direction, and how often.

Before you commit

• Photos must be organised by job automatically. Any workflow that relies on filing later will not survive.
• Check unlimited storage claims and what happens to old projects if you downgrade.
• Time stamps and GPS metadata are what make documentation defensible in a dispute.
• Sharing should be a link a homeowner can open without an account.
• If it integrates with your job management tool, photos stop being a separate habit — strongly prefer that.

How to judge it in a trial

Run one real job through it end to end — not the demo data. Quote it, schedule it, do it, invoice it, take the payment. Then ask the only question that matters on day 400: did the people who have to use this every day find it faster than what they do now? Friction you notice in week one compounds forever, and tool-hopping costs more than any feature gap.
