Matterport Signs Multi-Year Partnership with Vacasa to Provide Digital Twins for International Portfolio of Vacation Homes

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), the leading digital twin platform to access, understand and utilize properties, and Vacasa, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCSA), North America’s leading vacation rental management platform, today announced a new multi-year partnership to leverage Matterport’s Digital Twin Platform and Capture Services.

Vacasa will expand its use of Matterport’s Digital Twin Platform as an integral part of its home onboarding and guest service experiences for the tens of thousands of properties Vacasa manages.

Matterport’s full-stack digital twin solutions will enable Vacasa to more efficiently and effectively capture, document and promote its listings. Each digital twin will produce an immersive virtual tour as well as high-resolution photos to deliver a consistent showcase experience across Vacasa’s rentals, all through a single capture appointment.

Sourcing visual documentation through Matterport will assist Vacasa in delivering a consistent guest experience and maintaining brand consistency across its international network of listings. Vacasa will leverage Matterport’s APIs and software development kit to integrate Vacasa’s platform data with the digital twin of each listing to automate historically manual data-capture processes and improve efficiency.

“Vacasa is proud to provide our owners with immersive home tours and high-quality digital photographs for each and every one of the properties under our care,” said Chief Operating Officer, John Banczak. “It’s one of the many benefits we provide to ensure their homes stand out from the rest. Matterport tours ensure guests have a full picture of what they are booking and the vacation experience they’ll have in that home—whether that is simply understanding the layout of the home for family and friends to addressing if the home meets accessibility needs.”

“Matterport is the only all-in-one solution to both market and optimize a global network of properties,” said Jay Remley, Chief Revenue Officer, Matterport. “Our work with Vacasa demonstrates our ability to deliver value throughout the property life cycle, from marketing to operations, and ultimately the customer experience–all made possible by the investments we’ve made in our digital twin platform for promoting and operating properties anywhere in the world.”

Matterport is the industry standard for marketing properties, helping people and businesses across industries such as real estate, travel, hospitality and entertainment increase engagement and sales.
