Founded in 2013 in Waterloo, Ontario, the company has grown to approximately 128 employees operating across four continents, with its technology used in over 50 countries. While the company's primary market is real estate -- where 25% of Canadian homes sold in 2025 featured an iGUIDE -- it has developed a significant insurance vertical. Through a strategic partnership with Verisk, iGUIDE integrates directly into the Xactimate claims workflow, enabling insurance adjusters and restoration professionals to generate automated floor plan sketches, virtual walkthroughs, and damage cost estimates from a single property scan. In October 2025, REA Group (ASX: REA), Australia's largest digital property portal, acquired a 61.5% majority stake in Planitar Inc., positioning iGUIDE for accelerated global expansion. The acquisition brought Jarrad Morden on as CEO, while co-founders Alexander Likholyot and Kevin Klages transitioned to strategic advisory and industry officer roles respectively. ## Products & services ### PLANIX R1 Camera Proprietary LiDAR-equipped 360-degree camera hardware designed for rapid, accurate property capture.
