CloudPano

CloudPano makes browser-based software for building, hosting and sharing 360-degree virtual tours. The Houston, Texas company lets users capture scenes with a 360 camera, video or its own mobile app, connect them with hotspots and publish the result as a link or a website embed. By its own count the platform has passed 140,000 users, with 415,000 projects spread over 150-plus countries.

What CloudPano offers

• Tour builder — drag-and-drop uploads, hotspots, starting views, scene order and custom logos, with no coding needed.
• White label hosting — tours can sit on the customer's own domain without CloudPano branding.
• Live 360 video chat — a host walks clients through a tour during a video call.
• Street View publishing — panoramic photos go straight to Google Maps and to business profiles there.
• Floor plans and spins — dollhouse-style 3D plans, a scanner app for floor plans, and spin tools used by RV and car dealerships.
• Portal integrations — finished tours appear automatically on sites such as Zillow, Realtor.com, Zumper and Apartments.com.

The software is pitched at estate agents and property managers, as well as photographers, appraisers, builders, schools, universities, and RV and car dealers. The firm also sells capture and video-editing services.
