Matterport is a pioneer in the field of spatial data, specialising in digitising and indexing the built environment. They create digital twins of physical spaces, allowing clients to virtually explore and interact with real estate, offices, or industrial sites as if they were actually there.
Matterport’s challenge: making sense of a complex footprint
Matterport has a complex global supply chain and their products have diverse applications. They needed a solution to help them understand their carbon footprint, build the foundations for supply chain engagement, and articulate the sustainability benefits of their solution.
Matterport chose to work with Minimum to address these challenges. See below for a summary of some of the benefits we’ve been able to unlock for them.
Comprehensive mapping & data collection
Minimum’s sophisticated inventory mapping capabilities enabled Matterport to comprehensively identify and model all emission-generating activities and suppliers. This provided a clear foundation for streamlined data ingestion and governance using Minimum - allowing Matterport to efficiently collect key activity data, including their general ledger, bill of materials, and logistics records.
Sophisticated calculations and modelling
Minimum’s calculations and auditability capabilities enabled Matterport to generate product-level carbon footprints for specific materials and components in their flagship Pro2 3D camera. These insights were integrated into their broader organisational footprint, providing a more complete and connected view of emissions.
With this level of granularity, Matterport is now positioned to engage its supply chain more strategically — focusing on emissions hotspots and high-impact opportunities for reduction.
Actionable insights
Minimum’s expertise and enablement also helped Matterport translate calculated emissions data into avoided emissions scenarios — quantifying the climate benefit of using digital twins in place of traditional site visits. The analysis revealed that use of Matterport’s technology avoids emissions equivalent to 444 miles of car travel.
This has empowered Matterport to clearly articulate the sustainability value of their solution — supporting more impactful engagement with environmentally conscious customers and stakeholders.
