Grow Your Business
with AECT in Australia
Australia’s XGRIDS channel runs through AECT — number one XGRIDS dealer in the country by volume and a top-20 dealer worldwide. Partners resell and deliver the full Lixel range, now led by the 5 mm Lixel L3, with stock, warranty, training, processing and Physical AI workflows all held onshore.
“Jacob is one of the most efficient individuals I've had the pleasure of working with. He takes in all the information that has been given to him and puts it into action. It's been a pleasure seeing Jacob step into the world of Geospatial and learning so fast — I'm sure he will continue to succeed in the future.”
A national channel, eight months in
XGRIDS confirmed the numbers in September 2026. This is the network a new partner plugs into — not a plan.

See the work →You sell the scanner. We bring the rest of the ecosystem.
Full-scale capture spectrum
Metrology (0.02 mm) to terrestrial LiDAR, handheld SLAM + 3DGS, vehicle MLS, ground robotics and drones — we architect the mix when a deal outgrows one scanner.
Onshore processing service
Send us the capture; point clouds, meshes, floor plans and 3DGS scenes come back processed in Queensland. White-label it or refer it.
Physical AI & Scan-to-Sim
Site twins into NVIDIA Isaac Sim and USD, robot-dog capture, simulation datasets — a second conversation with every industrial customer.
Security & data sovereignty
Local-only workflows, offline software editions, Australian hosting, and a security pack that has been through state-level agency reviews.
VFX & virtual production
3DGS scenes into Unreal Engine and LED volumes; location scouting and previsualisation with PortalCam and L3.
Training & onboarding
Tiered training, onboarding hubs per product for your customers, the 3DGS Masterclass, and printable handouts.
The long version is the capability statement — the same document we put in front of government procurement.

Three Brackets. One Price-Protected Channel.
Referral
Introduce a buyer, we handle everything else — you earn on the sale. Zero inventory, zero admin. The easiest way to start.
Zero-Stock Dealer
Sell under your brand at dealer pricing — AECT ships direct to your customer. You own the relationship, we carry the stock.
Stock-Holding Dealer
Hold local inventory, offer same-day supply and demos in your region. Best margins, priority leads, co-marketing.
The whole channel advertises at the same RRP under a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policy — dealers compete on service, training and delivery, never on undercutting each other. Your margin is protected from day one.

Questions partners ask first
Who can become an AECT / XGRIDS partner in Australia?
Surveying and engineering firms, geospatial and construction-technology dealers, drone service providers, real-estate and VFX studios, and specialists who already serve one of our verticals. You choose a bracket — Referral, Zero-Stock or Stock-Holding — and a pod, and we qualify within five business days.
Is the channel price-protected?
Yes. Every dealer advertises the same RRP under a Minimum Advertised Price policy, so partners compete on service, training and delivery, not on undercutting each other.
Can partners sell the new Lixel L3?
Yes. The Lixel L3 launched on 15 September 2026 and is in the partner range from day one, with pre-order priority on first-shipment units, roadshow co-hosting and demo access. Pricing is provided to partners on enquiry.
How does deal registration and lead routing work?
Inbound enquiries in your vertical route to you first, backed by timestamped deal registration. Two consecutive green quarters on the partner scorecard unlock exclusivity in your vertical.
What does AECT provide beyond the hardware?
Onshore stock, warranty and firmware support; partner and customer training with onboarding hubs; an onshore data processing service you can white-label; Physical AI and Scan-to-Sim workflows; and a security and data-sovereignty pack for government tenders.
