Widdim

What Widdim does

Widdim is a French private limited company (SARL WIDDIM), founded in 2015 and headquartered in Peujard near Bordeaux, that operates as a wholesale broker and distributor of 3D scanning and spatial digitization solutions. The company sources hardware and software from a portfolio of global technology partners — Matterport, Realsee (Beike Realsee), 4DKanKan (4DAGE Technology), FJD Trion (FJDynamics), Leica Geosystems (BLK), Ricoh Theta, and HottScan — and redistributes it across France and 21 other European countries through direct sales, an online marketplace (marketplace.widdim.com), a showroom, and an international partner network structured around eight partnership tracks (reseller, dropshipper, business introducer, trainer, service provider, developer, manufacturer, software publisher).

The product portfolio centers on LiDAR scanners, 360° cameras, and hybrid 3D capture devices that produce digital twins, point clouds, virtual tours, 2D floor plans, and BIM-ready exports. Specific SKUs span the 4DKanKan PRO/MINION/META family, Matterport Pro2 and Pro3, the FJD Trion mobile LiDAR line, Leica BLK products, Ricoh Theta 360° cameras, and Realsee and HottScan systems. Layered on top are visualization and display accessories (3D-printed models, interactive totems and tables, digital signage, VR headsets, holographic blades) and a full professional services stack covering brokerage, wholesale, rental, leasing, training, technical support, managed scanning delivery, subcontracting, project management (MOA/MOE), insurance, and tender/RFP response.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware resale margins, short-term equipment rental, long-term leasing with optional purchase, recurring cloud subscription pass-through (Matterport plans from €8.99 to €250 per month plus Enterprise tier), and project-based professional services. The customer base is led by European real estate networks (Orpi, Century 21, IAD, La Forêt, Barnes, Nestenn, SuisseImmo) and diversified across construction and infrastructure (Colas, SANEF), energy and utilities (ENGIE, GRDF), industrial and mining (Rio Tinto, Engel, Partouche), education (INSEEC), and public sector (Caisse des Dépôts, City of Belfort), with use cases extending into heritage, insurance, healthcare, security, research, and entertainment.

Product overview

Widdim is a global wholesale broker and distributor of 3D scanning and modeling solutions, operating across France and 21 European countries. Its portfolio centers on hardware-based 3D scanning technologies — primarily LiDAR scanners (FJD Trion, Leica BLK), 360° cameras (Ricoh Theta), and hybrid 3D capture platforms (4DKanKan with PRO/MINION/META variants, Matterport with Pro2/Pro3, Realsee, HottScan) — complemented by visualization and display products (3D printing models, interactive totems/tables, digital signage, VR headsets, holographic blades) and a suite of professional services (brokerage, wholesale, rental/leasing, training, managed scanning delivery, outsourcing, project management). The product line forms a layered offering: core 3D scanning hardware brands serve as capture tools, while display products and the Widdim Marketplace serve as complementary layers for output and distribution. Widdim acts as an intermediary, sourcing equipment from manufacturers and distributing through resellers and directly to enterprise accounts.
