Industries – Retail

Know every detail of your store – and boost sales using the exact same space

In retail, every square metre is an investment – and an opportunity. Yet many stores, chains and retail owners lack precise knowledge of what is actually behind the walls, in the ceiling and beneath the floor. We deliver as-built documentation, 3D modelling and Matterport digital twins that gives you full control – from the first store fit-out to daily operations and your next expansion.

3 services - 1 seamless digital foundation.

Our services fit together naturally and can be delivered individually or as an integrated solution, tailored to your store and organisation. What they all have in common is that they transform your physical property – whether a flagship store, a chain of retail units or a large retail complex – into precise, actionable digital knowledge.

Matterport digital twin – A 3d version of your store

A Matterport digital twin is an interactive, photorealistic, and measurable 3D copy of a physical building or space. At scanningpartner, we use Matterport technology as the foundation – the world's leading platform for digital twins – giving you a millimetre-precise, navigable model accessible from browser, tablet and mobile without any software installation. 

For retail this means:

  • Smarter Store Planning & Remodeling: Architect and renovation teams can capture precise spatial measurements and export 3D point clouds or CAD files to redesign store spaces quickly and accurately.
  • Streamlined Store Operations & Merchandising: Retail managers and visual merchandising teams can plan, review, and standardize store layouts, display guidelines, and seasonal rollouts across multiple locations without traveling.
  • Efficient Facilities Management: Maintenance teams can virtually inspect store infrastructure, locate equipment, and address maintenance or repair needs faster by accessing exact 3D visual data.
  • Scalable chain management – the same precise overview whether you run a single store, a regional chain or an international retail portfolio
  • Stronger foundation for sale, franchising or refinancing – a documented and digitally managed property is more attractive to investors, franchisees and lenders

As-built documentation – what was actually built?

Stores and retail spaces change constantly. New interiors, rebuilt checkout areas, expanded storage facilities and updated technical installations – rarely with updated documentation as a result. As-built documentation is a systematic record of your store or retail space exactly as it looks today.

  • A reliable foundation for all future fit-out projects and conversions – whether a single store or an entire chain
  • Accurate installation drawings for electrical, plumbing, ventilation and fire safety – essential in the event of failures, regulatory inspections and insurance claims
  • Documentation ready for due diligence, lease negotiations and chain expansion
  • A precise starting point for facility management and service agreements across all locations

3D modelling – see the result before you build

3D modeling translates physical retail architecture into accurate, intelligent digital environments. By converting real-world store geometry into comprehensive 3D spatial models, you bridge the gap between physical store reality and digital planning.

  • Precision: Access accurate spatial measurements for fixtures, ceilings, and floor spaces without on-site visits.
  • Efficiency: Accelerate redesigns, interior rollouts, and facility maintenance across multiple locations.
  • Integration: Easily export 3D data into CAD or BIM software for seamless architectural and engineering workflows.

The process – from scan to as-built documentation or 3D modelling

We begin with a 3D scan and review of your store – whether it is a single retail unit, a warehouse complex or a chain of locations. We then deliver as-built documentation and a 3D model in the formats your organisation and advisors work with. You determine the scope; we ensure the quality.

Output we deliver for retail

  • As-built drawings (plan, section, elevation) in PDF and CAD format
  • 3D BIM model (Revit)
  • Laser measurement (point cloud) of existing store or retail space
  • Matterport Digital twin model
