ArborXR

Background and Achievements:

Founded in 2016, ArborXR began in retail VR and quickly identified the need for robust device management software in commercial XR settings. By 2017 the company had launched its management platform, and within 18 months became the market leader in location-based VR entertainment with customers in 40+ countries. In 2020, ArborXR pivoted to focus exclusively on enterprise, bringing five years of global XR scaling expertise to bear on the needs of Fortune 500 companies and large institutions.

Key achievements include: achieving ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications for enterprise-grade security; being preferred by Qualcomm; and completing the strategic acquisition of InformXR in 2025 to launch ArborXR Insights, an XR learning analytics suite that integrates with 500+ LMS platforms. Today, ArborXR supports over 3,000 organizations, including 60+ Fortune 500 companies across manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, and education.

Challenges to be addressed by AR:

Enterprise AR deployments face significant challenges around scalability, device management complexity, and content distribution. Organizations struggle to remotely configure, update, and secure large fleets of AR headsets across distributed locations—from factory floors and hospitals to classrooms and field operations. Without centralized management, IT teams are forced to manually handle each device, creating unsustainable overhead as deployments grow.

Additionally, enterprises lack unified analytics to measure the impact of their AR and VR programs. Training teams must stitch together manual logs and anecdotal feedback to understand learner performance and demonstrate ROI to stakeholders—a critical gap that slows adoption and makes it difficult to justify further investment. ArborXR addresses these challenges through its comprehensive platform for device management, content deployment, kiosk mode lockdown, and now real-time learning analytics through ArborXR Insights.

Why AR is a strategic area:

AR and the broader XR ecosystem represent a fundamental shift in how people learn, work, and collaborate. Enterprise adoption of XR is accelerating across industries: surgeons train in immersive VR environments, engineers collaborate on 3D models remotely, pilots practice emergency procedures safely, and frontline workers access AR-guided instructions on the factory floor. ArborXR sees this as a transformational moment where XR moves from experimental pilot programs to mission-critical enterprise infrastructure.

Strategically, ArborXR is positioned as the essential management layer that makes enterprise AR and VR deployments possible at scale. As hardware from Meta, Apple, Google, and others becomes more capable and affordable, the need for secure, scalable device management and analytics grows proportionally. ArborXR’s vision is to help people use XR as a tool—not an escape—enabling deeper relationships, more purposeful work, and measurable outcomes. By providing the infrastructure that enterprises need to deploy, manage, and measure XR, ArborXR is helping to drive the industry from early adoption to mainstream enterprise integration.
