Driving Digital Transformation in Saudi Arabia
Omnix International, a leading technology solutions provider in the Middle East, has announced the expansion of its collaboration with Matterport, a global leader in 3D spatial data and digital twin technologies. This strategic move strengthens their presence in Saudi Arabia, supporting the rapidly growing Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), Real Estate, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Tourism, and Retail sectors.
These digital twin solutions are now seen as critical enablers for faster project delivery, improved cost efficiency, sustainability, and stronger collaboration across multiple stakeholders. The timing aligns perfectly with Saudi Arabia’s government push for localization and international technology partnerships to accelerate giga-projects under Vision 2030.
Enabling Faster Project Delivery and Collaboration
A key advantage of Matterport’s technology lies in its cloud-based spatial data, which allows ministries, consultants, and contractors to collaborate remotely without needing to be physically present on-site. This capability supports projects with compressed timelines, ensuring quicker delivery and reduced costs.
Walid Gomaa, CEO of Omnix International, explained:
“The Saudi Arabian market is experiencing strong growth while facing unique challenges. The demand for digital twin and reality capture solutions is stronger than ever, fueled by ambitious smart city initiatives and the government’s drive for localization. Through our partnership with Matterport, we are transforming digital twin technology into a practical enabler of growth, sustainability, and long-term competitiveness.”
Reducing Costs and Delays Through Digital Twins
Matterport’s precise 3D replicas are integrated into Building Information Modeling (BIM) and lifecycle management tools by Omnix. This ensures all stakeholders have a single source of truth, while digital walkthroughs minimize the need for repeat site visits.
The results are impressive:
- 30–40% fewer site visits
- Reduced approval delays
- Significant cost and time savings
Omnix also provides Matterport’s training and consulting services in Saudi Arabia, helping to upskill local talent and ensure successful digital twin deployment. Seamless integration with CAD, BIM, and facilities management tools makes captured data actionable, improving efficiency throughout the project lifecycle.
Supporting Vision 2030 with Immersive Technologies
Rizwan Kareem, Business Unit Manager – Industry Support Solutions at Omnix, highlighted the impact of digital twins on Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects and digital economy:
“Digital twins are central to the Kingdom’s transformation. Our partnership with Matterport empowers organizations of all sizes from giga-projects to commercial and hospitality spaces to digitize assets, reduce site visits, collaborate remotely, and deliver projects faster. This is about turning Vision 2030 into immersive, data-driven realities while creating tangible value for clients across the Kingdom.”
A Future Built on Innovation and Localization
Through their collaboration, Omnix and Matterport are bridging global innovation with local expertise. Together, they are empowering Saudi organizations to design, build, and manage assets more efficiently, contributing to the Kingdom’s long-term competitiveness and sustainable growth.
