What Viscan Solutions GmbH does

Viscan Solutions GmbH (operating as "viscan") is a Stuttgart-based, founder-owned German limited liability company founded in 2011 that provides an integrated digital construction site stack combining proprietary hardware, mobile software, cloud processing, and BIM consulting services. Its core technology is the proprietary scin App — a 3D scanning mobile application used for documentation, acceptance, billing, and construction monitoring in underground and utility construction — paired with the viDoc and viDoc light hardware devices that convert smartphones into centimeter-accuracy surveying instruments (1cm +1ppm absolute accuracy), plus the geomesh-Cloud platform for processing and verifying drone and scin App datasets. The company supplements its proprietary stack by acting as an authorized DJI Enterprise Gold Partner (distributing drones including the Matrice 400, Matrice 4 Series, Mavic 3E, and DJI Dock 3) and viDoc dealer, and by reselling/integrating third-party software such as Propeller, 3Dsurvey, Trimble DA2 GNSS, and Emlid Reach RX2. It also offers BIM management and overall BIM coordination consulting, training workshops, and a 2024-launched Remote Supervision service that the company claims reduces on-site supervision time by up to 70%.

The company serves five primary customer segments: construction companies (Bauunternehmen), engineering offices (Ingenieurbüros), surveying service providers (Vermessungsdienstleister), public sector clients, and telecom infrastructure operators (most notably Deutsche Telekom for fiber optic route documentation). Named reference customers include Deutsche Telekom, STRABAG, Deutsche Bahn, the City of Mannheim (facade/roof inspection of 75 school properties over 6 years), Max Wild, and the BIM-LAB Baden-Württemberg. Viscan holds what it describes as the first official European BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) drone operating approval and was awarded the 2021 BIM Cluster Award for the best digital infrastructure construction site (B29 BA1, Essingen-Aalen).

Viscan operates a multi-stream revenue model: (1) hardware sales and leasing of drones and GNSS devices, (2) recurring SaaS subscription for scin App licensed to hardware serial numbers on annual terms with auto-renewal, (3) equipment rental (daily to 36-month leases), (4) professional services and BIM consulting, and (5) third-party software distribution/licensing. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct consultation, Calendly-booked appointments, and a regional focus on Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The company is privately held by founders Nicolai Nolle (CEO) and Sebastian Lazic (Managing Director) with no disclosed external funding rounds or outside investors, supporting an estimated headcount of ~10–50 employees.
