Showcase your Facilities with 360 Virtual Tours
Impress clients and partners by giving them a remote guided tour of your facilities
When it comes to speed you guys are on top of it, because that was done very quickly. We were really happy with that. An excellent example of how a company should treat a client in terms of responsiveness and addressing the points that we shared in a very professional manner

Covid has changed how we think about business travel as individuals and companies – Whereas before the pandemic traveling to inspect suppliers’ sites, factories, and production facilities was routine, nowadays these activities are no longer taken for granted.
The risks and inconveniences associated with travel, tests, and quarantines, have led to a paradigm shift – Many people now prefer to fly and travel as little as possible.
This poses a new set of challenges for manufacturers that want or need to demonstrate the quality and caliber of their facilities – How can you impress prospective clients of the merits of your factory, when people would rather not fly in for a visit?

The Benefits
Offer new levels of service and convenience
A well planned 360 virtual tour offers your prospective clients unique benefits over on-site visits:
Times have changed – After the pandemic many professionals no longer feel safe traveling, and are fed up with the challenges of life on-the-road. Whenever possible these people prefer an alternative to travel.
Offering these professionals a way to review your facility at their leisure, and from the safety and comfort of their laptop or mobile device, is your way of demonstrating you care about their concerns. It’s another way of demonstrating your commitment to delivering a first-rate customer experience.
Keep your team safe
Your customers aren’t the only ones who may prefer avoiding meeting unknown people.
The pandemic demonstrated all too well how easily production can be disrupted by having one sick team-mate on the line. All it takes is one unlucky visitor unintentionally entering your facility while being sick, for your factory to face potential shut-downs and delivery delays. Offering a 360 virtual tour, as an alternative to factory visits, is your way of reducing your team’s exposure to the virus, and preventing the next needless shut-down.
Create the impression you want
A working factory inevitably has an area or two that aren’t necessarily as tidy and organized as you’d want. Unfortunately it seems as though any time a visitor arrives at your facility they somehow end up spending the most time in the areas you’re least pleased with…
Offering a 360 virtual tour allows you to showcase your factory in the best light possible – You control what parts of the facility you want to show, from what angle, and under what conditions. Your days of having to apologize for temporary messes or construction improvements are over.
Save time and money - For everyone
Factory visits, and the associated hosting duties, can be costly and time consuming affairs for everyone involved. Spending a day giving a client delegation the grand tour of your factory, and perhaps some nearby dining and entertainment venues, might not always be the best investment of your time or money. Offering a 360 virtual tour as an alternative will reduce the load on both your calendar and your wallet.
Easily repeated and scalable
An inherent inefficiency in client visits stems from the fact that inevitably not everyone that should come to visit your facility can make the trip, while some of the people that have visited you will eventually move on, and their replacements will have to make the same journey again. Having a handy 360 virtual tour available ensures anyone can acquaint themselves quickly with your facility, at zero cost, and with nearly zero lost time.
It’s environmentally friendly
Travel, and air travel in particular, are major contributors to the emission of carbon dioxide, and as such are environmentally unfriendly. Companies and individuals seeking to reduce their carbon footprint can do so easily by opting to swap a site visit with a virtual tour of your premises.
We’re consistently delighted by the marketing strategies developed by Vimi, as well as the quality & on time execution they deliver. Vimi is now part of our strategic marketing mix & we continue to collaborate on multiple projects. We heartily recommend them as a provider

How does it work?
Your 360 virtual tour delivery team is composed of the following professionals:
- Project manager
- Creative consultant
- 360 camera photographer
- Tour technician
Our process follows these principles:
Behavioral design
People love platforms that account for how they feel & think. These are the insights behavioral design provides.
User testing
The compass ensuring a platform’s utility
& appeal is the study of the people using it. The sooner this study is launched, the higher the returns it delivers.
Return on investment
A platform’s success is measured in relation to quantifiable goals. Failure can be useful, when we learn from it.
A project is only ever as good as the brief
The most important step you can take on your path to a new 360 virtual tour is prepping your production brief.
A good brief will help you avoid miscommunications, wasted $$$, and missed deadlines.
We know sometimes getting your thoughts in order is hard, so we’re happy to share with you our own brief template, to help you get started. Remember – The more detailed your answers on the brief questions, the easier things will be during production…
Production Milestones
With your brief ready, the next thing to focus on is the production process. We’ve developed a proven flow for delivering 360 virtual tour, which we will follow during your production – These are the milestones along the way:
1
Introduction
Your production starts with a free consultation to ensure we see eye-to-eye on your desired outcomes. We’ll discuss your needs, goals, scope, timeline and budget.
2
Planning and outline
With your production objectives and scope understood we’ll prepare a response to your requirements that includes:
- Suggested tour highlights and scope
- Estimated production timeline
- A quotation for your consideration
3
The shoot
Once the parameters for the production and commercials are confirmed and signed-off the actual work can begin. The 360 shoot is the first step in this process. Our team will schedule a day and time to visit your facility and conduct the photoshoot required to generate the raw footage that will eventually become your tour experience.
4
Post-production
Most of the work on your tour happens in post-production. This is where the raw footage shot at your location is transformed into a tour experience your audience can view and enjoy on any web-browser.
Our global clientele expect us to operate at the peak of efficiency & discretion, & we expect the same from our providers. Vimi delivered our brand design & website, & remain our preferred provider because we know we can rely on them to be there whenever we need them
