Cintoo widget unlocks seamless Lidar streaming in ArcGIS

Cintoo is transforming how professionals interact with high-resolution laser scan data inside Esri’s ecosystem with its new widget for ArcGIS. The company is responding to the blurring of the line between GIS and reality capture as organizations increasingly rely on spatial intelligence to manage complex assets and infrastructure.

The Cintoo Widget for ArcGIS enables users to stream and explore detailed, mesh-based Lidar datasets directly within the familiar ArcGIS environment. By converting terrestrial and mobile laser scans into lightweight 3D meshes, the solution preserves full point cloud fidelity while making previously cumbersome datasets accessible and actionable across teams.

360-degree panoramic visualization

With immersive 360-degree panoramic visualization and virtual inspection tools, the integration brings a new level of precision to asset management and site analysis – especially in indoor and brownfield environments where conventional GIS tools often struggle with dense spatial data.

Users can compare scans with BIM and CAD models, track asset conditions, and manage annotations – all without leaving ArcGIS. From monitoring construction progress to optimizing factory layouts or overseeing large-scale facilities, the Cintoo widget enables decision-makers to pair geospatial analysis with real-time, ground-truth data.

Indispensable part of project workflows

“ArcGIS is used by 70% of the largest companies globally. So this is a really exciting opportunity for us to demonstrate to the Esri ecosystem how our platform brings much-needed visualization and insight, and why many Cintoo customers in building construction & operations, automobile manufacturing and energy – such as BP and TotalEnergies – have already integrated it into their daily workflows,” stated Dominique Pouliquen, CEO of Cintoo.

“Increasingly, integrating Lidar and other types of imagery into GIS is becoming an indispensable part of modern project workflows and we are happy to make this possible for Cintoo’s customers,” said Kathleen Kewley, Esri director of AEC global business development. “In fields like construction and facilities management, modern 3D GIS is critical for dynamic awareness of assets and processes.”

Building on this integration, Cintoo and Esri are charting a path toward even greater interoperability. Their shared goal: to make Cintoo’s advanced 3D mesh technology a native part of the ArcGIS experience – empowering users around the world with instant access to rich, high-resolution spatial insights.
