Introducing Get 3D Tours

Here’s why I launched this service.

The Storm

as listing aggregators, brokerage firms, and agents, begin to integrate more virtual tour services into their businesses, a number of issues have arisen.

• no centralized source (how do we manage different types of tours for different homes, on different sites?)
• no integration solutions (when we create a centralized source, then we need an interface to present our tours on our sites and in our apps. how can we integrate this with our IDX, VOW, or RETS sites?)
• limitations of vendor software (there are no virtual tours that provide white label tours. none of these expose an API which limits customization and degrees of integration.

The Rainbow

If only we could provide a few things, then we could feature our tours with our listings easily. all we need is:

• a platform to manage tours (we need an interface, a database-driven application, and an authorization system for users to login and add/remove/edit their virtual tours for all their homes)
• an API for our user interface (our applications will need to make authenticated requests to access the users virtual tour data)
• a plugin (third-party javascript to create interface components that talk to our API, to make integrating our solution easier for most developers)
• white-label virtual tour software (we need a white label virtual tour solution, to allow for better integration with our existing sites and applications)

The Pot of Gold

3D Tours, provides all of these features, and more. Listing aggregators and brokerage firms consume our RESTful API documented in swagger. This gives them complete control over the look-and-feel, and how they want to present the tours. Companies will pay for 3d tour data, if it’s at the right price. currently nobody offers this services. Signing up partners is just a matter of presenting a viable value proposition and determining a fees based on bandwidth and usage.

Agents and brokerage firms use our plugin to instantly feature their virtual tours. It’s easy to integrate virtual tours into their sites without hiring a team of developers, designers, and project managers. they also don’t have to take the risk that development could take longer than expected, bugs in the implementation could hinder usage, and they don’t need to build a platform to manage their virtual tours.
