September 2017 Quarter Activities and Cash Flow Report
Pointerra Limited (ASX:3DP) (“Pointerra” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an overview of September 2017 quarter activities and the associated cash flow and cash position in the Appendix 4C (attached).
Highlights – Sales Execution Successes
-
First direct sales to enterprise customers
-
Milestone technology licensing agreement signed with AAM, the largest geospatial services provider in the southern hemisphere
-
Significant growth in the direct sales pipeline to enterprise customers
-
Paid trials with power utilities - potential for 5-figure recurring monthly DaaS fees upon conversion to full enterprise licenses
-
Ongoing investment in R&D delivered enhancements including ScanView and PointerraCloud 2.0, boosting the value proposition of Pointerra’s solution
Direct Sales, Partnerships and Software Licensing
During the quarter Pointerra grew cash receipts from recurring monthly subscriptions by paying customers across all channels, highlighted by first direct sales to enterprise customers.
Following the recruitment of additional direct sales resources at the start of the quarter, the Company has materially grown the sales pipeline for its world-first Data as a Service (“DaaS”) solution for 3D data in both the “surveyor & data capture professional” and “enterprise” channels.
The direct sales pipeline for end-user customers across all channels now numbers in excess of 300 discrete deals, with the combined value of the most prospective of these (evaluation trial, paid trial and under-proposal) customers sufficient to move Pointerra into a cashflow positive position following their successful conversion into full licenses.

Pointerra Limited
Significantly, Pointerra has also identified the global power transmission and distribution utility sector as highly prospective for its enterprise DaaS solution. Paid trial, evaluation trial and prospective customers in this segment of the enterprise channel alone present an addressable global market of more than $400 million in annual recurring revenues, with existing Pointerra customers in this segment identifying material savings in routine daily asset management workflow tasks that underpin Pointerra’s value proposition, supporting fivefigure recurring monthly enterprise DaaS subscription revenue levels. The Company expects to convert existing paid trial and evaluation trial customers in this segment to full enterprise licenses in coming quarters.
More broadly across the wider enterprise sales channel, the addition of regional/global AEC (Architecture-Engineering-Construction) companies as full licence, paid trial and evaluation trial licence customers during the quarter has added additional materially prospective DaaS deals to the overall enduser sales pipeline.
In the surveyor & data capture professional channel, growth in the sales pipeline resulted in further paying customers during the quarter and subsequent to quarter-end. Whilst this channel generates lower DaaS pricepoints, the sales cycle is shorter and ability to identify, sign-up and close customers across the world from low-cost inside-sales activities in Australia is compelling.
AAM Technology Licence Agreement . Pointerra successfully converted an MOU with AAM, the largest geospatial company in our region, into a technology licence agreement, which was executed in early October.
AAM sells access to its multi-year library valuable geospatial data through various channels, including its GEOCIRRUS cloud-based GIS solution via a DaaS model and the GEOCIRRUS Discovery Portal (the AAM shopfront for data/content).
As part of expanding and improving its GEOCIRRUS strategy, AAM has agreed to licence, under a commercial agreement, Pointerra’s unique 3D geospatial technology.
Pointerra is also licenced by AAM to sell access to AAM’s 3D data (and derivative products) through its own 3D data marketplace.

Under the terms of the technology licence agreement, AAM will pay Pointerra a one-off licence fee for the use of Pointerra’s technology in GEOCIRRUS. AAM will also pay Pointerra a royalty based on data usage and sales through the GEOCIRRUS Discovery Portal; and Pointerra will pay AAM a royalty based on data sales made through Pointerra’s 3D data marketplace.

AAM’s GEOCIRRUS cloud-based data platform will be enhanced by Pointerra’s 3D data technology
During the quarter, Pointerra also continued to work with several regional and global tier-1 partners from the geospatial, engineering, aerospace and technology sectors towards the goals of securing strategic partnerships (revenue generating enterprise reseller agreements) and technology integration (software licensing and royalty income) outcomes for the Company.
Existing relationships with WorleyParsons/Advisian, Esri, Blue Marble Geographics, NGIS and CR Kennedy continue to be developed and supported as they provide important leveraged access to globally distributed revenue generating opportunities.
The Company has a highly scalable, low cost business model to commercialise its technology and generate near-term revenue and earnings. A diversity of customer size, nature and geographic location, provides a growing sales and earnings pipeline to fund Pointerra’s ultimate vision of leading the global market for 3D data.

R&D and Software Development
During the quarter Pointerra’s technical team continued to enhance the deployment of the Company’s innovative 3D data solution in the Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) cloud environment and make our technology available for 3[rd] party integration evaluation through custom-API’s.
The Company is now hosting more than 300 billion points of 3D data comprising a mix of private data for trial and paying DaaS customers as well as free government data available for viewing and sale through our open data portal.
During the last week of September, the Company attended INTERGEO in Berlin and launched its revolutionary cloud-deployed solution for terrestrial laser scanned 3D datasets, called ScanView, to a global audience.

Pointerra Limited
ScanView generates a view of the 3D pointcloud dataset from the perspective of the laser scanner, resulting in the highest fidelity view possible of what the laser scanner saw and captured. Whilst there are existing webbased applications that use 360 degree photos to provide this single scan view, in a world-first, Pointerra’s ScanView technology renders the actual colourised 3D points acquired by the scanner, delivering users the full fidelity and accuracy of the 3D dataset as captured by the laser scanner and in a photorealistic view.
INTERGEO is the world’s largest annual conference and trade fair for geodesy, geoinformation and land management. With over half a million event website users and over 16,000 visitors from 92 countries at INTERGEO itself, it is one of the key platforms for geospatial industry dialogue around the world.
Pointerra previously attended INTERGEO in Hamburg in 2016 and the recent conference brought together many of the global Tier-1 partners we have been working with over the past 12 months towards the aim of securing technology licensing deals. At INTERGEO 2017, Pointerra was able to progress a number of these pre-existing opportunities as well as establishing new enduser, reseller and technology licensing relationships, with ScanView being a significant differentiator. In addition to the release of ScanView during September, Pointerra also deployed the 2nd generation data processing and storage technology into production. The PointerraCloud 2.0 engine introduces many new capabilities, including the ability for pointcloud datasets to contain multiple layers, the ability to merge new pointcloud data into existing datasets, and a greatly enhanced ability to track an individual point back to its source dataset file.
The new data format also future-proofs Pointerra’s core technology with an ability to scale to pointcloud sizes far in excess of those currently being created by our customers. Pointerra has also continued to enhance existing API’s (interfaces for 3rd party developers) to support a growing list of partners and customers that are seeking to integrate Pointerra’s 3D data technology into their existing products and workflows. Providing a rich set of API’s is a strategic focus for Pointerra, particularly in supporting the acquisition of Tier-1 enterprise customers and technology licensing agreements.
