Swyvl for Heritage

Share heritage scans and documentation with anyone, anywhere.

You capture extraordinary 3D records of heritage sites. But your stakeholders — councils, trusts, archaeologists, the public — can't open the files. Swyvl lets them view everything in the browser.

For agencies and councils

Manage a portfolio, not just a project.

One workspace. Every listed building on a map. Decades of restoration documentation captured under one roof — with the audit trail government compliance and grant reporting requires.

Multi-site portfolio map

All your listed buildings as pins on one map. Click any site to see its capture history, condition reports, and restoration record — across an agency's entire portfolio.

Before/after restoration timeline

Each capture session is time-indexed. Compare a facade pre- and post-restoration, document conservation milestones, and produce evidence trails for grant acquittal.

Public sharing for tourism & education

Open a site to the public for tourism, research, or interpretation. Branded links viewable in any browser — no specialist software required for the visitor.

GIS-ready

Upload GeoTIFF orthomosaics and shapefiles of heritage boundaries alongside your scans. Viewable as interactive map overlays — no specialist GIS workstation required.

Immutable audit log

Every upload, share link, and viewer access is logged with timestamps and identity. Defensible records for government compliance, grant acquittal, and tribunal evidence.

Sovereign data residency

Heritage records often fall under government data sovereignty rules. Choose your storage region at setup — Australia, UK, EU, US, Canada, Japan, or Singapore — and your data never leaves it.

Spatial data is transforming heritage preservation

LiDAR, photogrammetry, and 360 imaging create permanent digital records of buildings, landscapes, and artefacts. The challenge is making these records accessible.

Documentation and conservation

Record the current state of a heritage building or site with millimetre-accurate LiDAR scans. Share the resulting point clouds with conservation architects, structural engineers, and planning authorities — all through a browser link.

Photogrammetry models

Deliver textured 3D models of facades, sculptures, archaeological finds, or entire structures. Stakeholders rotate, zoom, and inspect the model in the browser — no 3D software required.

360 virtual tours

Capture equirectangular panoramas of interiors, excavation sites, or restricted-access areas. Share immersive 360 views with stakeholders, researchers, or the public through a simple link.

Site mapping and GIS

Share GeoTIFFs of archaeological site plans, orthomosaic surveys of landscapes, or georeferenced historical maps. Viewers see them as interactive map overlays they can zoom and pan.

Make heritage data accessible to every stakeholder

Heritage projects involve diverse stakeholders — local councils, heritage trusts, architects, academics, community groups. Most don't have specialist software. Swyvl gives each group access to the data they need through branded links.

  • No account required

    Stakeholders open a link and view the data immediately. No sign-up, no software download, no friction.

  • Branded presentation

    Customise links with your organisation's branding. Present heritage data with the professionalism the subject matter deserves.

  • Access tracking

    Know who viewed the data and when — useful for grant reporting, project governance, and stakeholder engagement records.
