Pointerra3D Common Data Environment
Pointerra3D delivers a cloud-based Common Data Environment (CDE) that centralizes every dataset, model, and workflow into a single, connected platform.
Designed for asset intensive industries, it transforms fragmented information into a shared source of truth that can be relied upon by engineers, asset owners and key stakeholders.
Hosted securely in the cloud, our CDE eliminates IT bottlenecks and desktop dependencies — giving teams instant access to critical information, from anywhere.
A Common Data Environment is inherent to the Pointerra3D CORE subscription and sets the foundation for more advanced analytics. Whether for a small enterprise or multisite operation, users gain instant access to a secure, cloud-native environment to store, visualize, and collaborate on geospatial data.
Unifying All Project Data
Into One Powerful Platform
Pointerra3D’s Common Data Environment brings together all your spatial and engineering data — lidar, photogrammetry, BIM, GIS, CAD, and IoT — into one cohesive system.
Built for remote and distributed teams, our CDE ensures everyone works from the same up-to-date data. Engineers, asset managers, and field crews can access, measure, and collaborate on projects in real time over the cloud which removes technical and geographical barriers of dispersed teams and skillset.
Experience the power of a unified CDE - see how Pointerra3D simplifies collaboration, visualization, and data management across teams and assets.
By eliminating technical and geographical barriers to complex geospatial data sharing, a cloud-based Common Data Environment delivers a single-source-of-truth and bridges the gap between disciplines, suppliers, and locations.
Common Data Environments in Asset-Intensive Industries
Pointerra3D’s CDE supports asset-intensive industries that depend on accuracy, scalability, and real-time collaboration:
Utilities and Energy – Integrate inspection imagery, design models, and maintenance records for smarter asset management.
Transport and Infrastructure – Manage vast networks of roads, bridges, and tunnels with a single source of truth.
Mining and Resources – Improve safety, conformance, and production efficiency by connecting surface and underground data.
Real-Time Data Collaboration in the Cloud
Traditional file-based workflows slow projects down and stall collaboration. Pointerra3D’s cloud-native architecture changes that.
Large datasets stream at lightning speed, allowing teams to visualize and interrogate data in real time in a cloud-native environment via their browser.
With role-based permissions, you can manage access for internal teams, contractors, and clients, ensuring sensitive data stays protected while collaboration remains seamless.
The Foundation for Living Digital Twins
The backbone of a living, functional digital twin is the reliable data which feeds it. Pointerra3D unites the two, by centralizing the data that powers your twin and streaming it as a live, interactive 3D environment.
Through this connection, you can track change over time, detect deviations, and derive actionable insights across the asset lifecycle — from design and construction to operations and maintenance.
Industry Use Cases of a Common Data Environment
Across all private and public sector industries, Pointerra3D’s CDE drives efficiency by automating data flow, eliminating version conflicts, and enabling every stakeholder to see, measure, and act on live information. With centralized data management and version control, teams can collaborate in real time, eliminate rework, and maintain compliance across contracts and disciplines.
BIM and Infrastructure Workflows
Pointerra3D’s Common Data Environment provides a structured, governed space for managing BIM and GIS data across all project stages. It standardizes how design, survey, and construction teams store, review, and share information — ensuring accuracy and accountability from day one.
Pointerra3D’s CDE makes it easy to integrate with your existing BIM, GIS, and asset management systems, streamlining the flow of information throughout your project lifecycle.
Government & Agency Data Sharing
Accurate data reporting and more robust asset management requires access to accurate up-to-date data. Government agencies utilize CDEs to share spatial data across departments and improve decision-making transparency. This data can be relied on for decision making and significantly reduces wastage from duplicate data capture and potential data conflicts and redundancy issues.
Pointerra3D’s CDE connects every stage of the data lifecycle, from capture to analysis, ensuring the right people have access to the right information at the right time. It’s how transport authorities, mining operators, utilities, and government agencies manage complex, data-rich projects efficiently and at scale.
How Pointerra3D's CDE Process Works in Practice
A Common Data Environment is more than a storage system — it’s the operational backbone of digital collaboration.
Pointerra3D’s CDE connects every stage of the data lifecycle, from capture to analysis, ensuring the right people have access to the right information at the right time.
