Product Manager - Planitar
​
Who Is Planitar & How Are They Changing the World?
As a hardware and software provider, Planitar is the creator of iGuide: A proprietary camera system that captures images of a physical space, measures the space with Lidar, and then converts both into an immersive 3D tour. You know what I mean - on real estate websites, when you do a full tour of the home without leaving the comfort of your couch? That’s the one. They can capture a 2500 sq ft home in just 15 minutes! That’s not all: iGuide also helps with facility management and non-real estate marketing (did you know that Communitech’s virtual tour is done through iGuide?)

​

-
Collaborate with stakeholders to define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap, aligning it with the company's goals and objectives.
