Faulty Point Cloud Data and Project Delays: Why You Need a Strong Partner

Recently, we received an honest message from a long-term client about a case of faulty point cloud data right before the delivery deadline:

“I just discovered that the E57 files sent yesterday are corrupted. The software xxx encountered an issue during export. I have forwarded the original data to company YYY for further checking. At this moment, there is nothing more I can do. Sorry.”

This situation happens very often: clients complete the full registration process and the software reports “green – no errors”, but when exporting, faulty point cloud data occurs. From that moment on, their only option is to send a ticket to the software provider and wait… while the project timeline continues to be threatened.

Registration Error – Corrupted E57 file

 

But what happens if the error is not fixed quickly? Who will take responsibility for the delivery schedule?

This is where VMT Solutions creates real value.

VMT Solutions – Sharing Responsibility as Part of Your Own Team

When working with VMT Solutions, you are never alone – we treat your deadlines as our own.

In this project, we performed a full point cloud quality check on the data sent by the client – regardless of the software’s “no error” status.

Result: we discovered several critical issues and provided a detailed report to the client.

When the client said: “There is nothing more I can do”, we understood:

There is something we can do.
We do not sit and wait for a third-party software provider.
We take action.

VMT Solutions re-registered the data using a different software – resulting in clean, accurate, error-free output delivered on schedule. This is the real advantage of having a team that proactively handles faulty point cloud data instead of relying solely on software.

For the end client, the most important things are simply:

  • Quality
  • On-time delivery

No one accepts the excuse of “software errors”.

Practical Benefits for Our Clients and Partners

At VMT Solutions, we don’t give excuses – we provide solutions.

Misaligned scans – Registration error on monitor

This is also why we have two in-house Geomatic engineers dedicated to point cloud checking and ensuring data quality.

They detect issues before those issues become real problems – helping clients avoid unexpected risks to their project schedule.

  • We protect your deadlines.
  • We ensure your output quality.
  • We take responsibility alongside you.

This is our commitment to all clients and partners.

If you are looking for a truly supportive partner – someone who not only processes data but also proactively performs point cloud checks, identifies and resolves faulty point cloud data, and protects your project timeline – then we speak the same language.

VMT Solutions – Your Trusted Partner for Every Point Cloud & 3D Project

At VMT Solutions, we do more than deliver Point Cloud data or 3D models – we accompany you throughout the entire project. When issues arise, whether it’s faulty point cloud data, export errors, or timeline risks, we proactively support you to ensure your work is never interrupted.

This is the difference we bring: real responsibility, timely support, and a commitment to quality until the very end. Our partners always know they will never have to handle problems alone.

“Working with VMT Solutions has been an invaluable experience for me, as the results are always outstanding. As seen on my website (architect-stefan-schramm.com), impressive projects have emerged from our collaboration.

I especially appreciate the professional handling of my designs by VMTS. Since I create all my designs by hand, it is crucial that my architectural vision and way of thinking are well understood and accurately translated into drawings. VMTS has a keen sense of aesthetics and an excellent understanding of my design, making the collaboration exceptionally smooth.

Highly recommended!

Stefan Schramm, Architekt Stefan Schramm

„Your plans are perfect; I’ve never seen anything like this before. These are drawings of the highest quality, I must say. I want to express my sincere thanks once again for your work.“

Endre SzokolaiEndre Szokolai, Digitalplan-Szokolai

VMT modeled a large industrial building in 3D for our research project. We provided DWG plans to VMT, and they delivered a highly detailed model, including the building envelope, interior walls, openings, and stairs. We had previously contracted a German company for the same object, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out. I was relieved and pleased that VMT handled it so reliably. Thank you for the excellent work and the truly fair price!

Very reliable company, courteous staff, and top-quality work. Our plans were created quickly and accurately. Thank you for that. Highly recommended.

Silvan Bearth

Excellent advice and high 3D modeling quality at a great price-performance ratio… What more could you want? I can highly recommend them…
