Question 1

What is Linkerman?

Accepted Answer

Linkerman pairs an app with the Apple Vision Pro headset so you can design, show and sign off a project on site, in mixed reality. You can show equipment at real scale, adjust the layout with your client and generate the survey report from the session.

Question 2

Who is Linkerman for?

Accepted Answer

Linkerman is for manufacturers and installers of equipment, engineering consultancies and owner's representatives or lead designers who run site surveys.

Question 3

Which projects does it suit?

Accepted Answer

It suits projects with service connections, equipment to be sited, site constraints indoors and outdoors, and client sign-off before works start.

Question 4

Do I need mixed-reality experience?

Accepted Answer

No. The app is built for field teams and is usable from the first session.

Question 5

Can clients join remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anyone you invite follows the live view from a browser and can approve the layout there and then.

Question 6

How does a session run?

Accepted Answer

Hardware: an Apple Vision Pro headset. Install the app, sign in with your subscription, open your project, site the equipment at real scale, share the view to gather decisions live and generate the survey report if your plan includes it.

Question 7

Does Linkerman have competitors?

Accepted Answer

There are 3D rendering tools, sales configurators and tablet-based augmented reality apps. Linkerman differs because the survey happens at real scale on site, the client signs off during the visit and deliverables come out of the session.

Question 8

Where does the time go back?

Accepted Answer

The survey happens during the visit: siting, client sign-off and reporting sit in one session instead of a survey, a write-up and rounds of approval.

Question 9

Can we take on more projects?

Accepted Answer

Removing the second visit and re-keying at the office frees up time on every survey, so the same team can handle more projects.

Question 10

How do we judge the cost?

Accepted Answer

Compare the time freed on each survey and the sign-off obtained on the first visit against the subscription and the fee per project.

Question 11

What does Linkerman cost?

Accepted Answer

Soft subscription: €450 excl. VAT per month. Soft + Hard subscription: €620 excl. VAT per month with Apple Vision Pro included. Fee per project: Basic €220, Classique €390, Pro €550 excl. VAT.

Question 12

Why charge per project?

Accepted Answer

So the cost follows your activity and you pay only for the projects you run through the app.

Question 13

Can I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancellation terms are set out when you subscribe.

Question 14

What hardware do I need?

Accepted Answer

The Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, which handles on-site visualisation best indoors and outdoors.

Question 15

I already own an Apple Vision Pro. Can I use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every Apple Vision Pro is compatible.

Question 16

I do not have a headset yet. How do I get one?

Accepted Answer

Buy one yourself or include it in your subscription. We can also introduce you to a partner for financing and after-sales cover.

Question 17

Does it work with other headsets?

Accepted Answer

No. Linkerman runs on the Apple Vision Pro only.

Question 18

Does it fit our existing tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Linkerman sits alongside your current process and speeds up the site and sign-off stages. Reports export to PDF and PowerPoint.

A few hours. Teams are usually running their own sessions the same day.

Question 22

Do you help with the rollout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A full day at your offices covering the headset and the configuration of your projects.
