Multi-user VR sales hub Solarflare built for Maxar, set in an orbital environment with their full 360 case study library. Enabled sales meetings in space when Covid cancelled their physical event programme.
Sales meetings in orbit
Maxar is one of the world's leading satellite intelligence companies. Their event programme is how they demonstrate capability to defence, government, and commercial clients. When Covid cancelled it entirely, they needed a replacement that matched the seriousness of their prospects and the complexity of what they sell.We built a multi-user VR sales hub set in an orbital environment, stocked with Maxar's full library of 360 case studies covering their satellite operations, Earth observation capabilities, and intelligence products. Sales teams could bring clients into the space, navigate the case study library together, and have conversations inside a visual environment that made Maxar's work feel immediate rather than abstract. The orbital setting was not decorative. For a company whose core asset is the view from space, putting client meetings in orbit is a direct expression of what they do.
A VR environment built for complex sales
Enterprise sales in defence and intelligence is not a single-conversation process. Clients return multiple times, explore different capability areas, and need to bring different stakeholders through the same material. The hub was designed to support that pattern, with a navigable architecture that could be traversed in different sequences depending on what a given client needed to see.Multi-user functionality was central to the brief. The hub needed to support synchronous meetings with clients attending from different locations, with the sales host controlling navigation and flow. We built a shared presence model that made the remote meeting format feel collaborative rather than broadcast.
Replacing an entire event programme
The ROI case for the hub was straightforward: Maxar had a pipeline of client relationships that normally advanced through face-to-face events, and those events were gone for the foreseeable future. A VR environment that could host hundreds of meetings across a year at zero marginal cost per session was not a pandemic contingency; it was a more efficient version of what the event programme was doing.The hub ran for over a year and supported Maxar's sales activity across their full client portfolio. For us, it established the architecture and production methodology that we built the Virtual Control Centre on directly afterwards.
