Victoria-based 3D visualization firm LlamaZOO Interactive has been acquired by KPMG Canada, bolstering the consulting giant’s digital twin and spatial business intelligence offerings.
The deal, finalized on May 20, 2025, follows LlamaZOO’s filing for creditor protection in December 2024 due to financial challenges and has KPMG paying $1.45 million for its assets.
Founded over a decade ago, LlamaZOO specialized in turning complex data sets into intuitive 2D and 3D digital twins—virtual replicas of physical environments that support faster, high-quality decision-making. The company’s proprietary platform and software suite enable organizations to simulate real-world scenarios using machine learning and AI, enhancing operational efficiency and scenario planning.
“The addition of LlamaZOO’s technology and expertise allows KPMG to combine its artificial intelligence discipline with real-time 2D and 3D digital twin technologies,” said Matt Grant, KPMG Canada’s Director of Digital Twins and Spatial Computing. “This positions KPMG to support Canadian and global organizations with immersive tools that enable intelligent decision-making, scenario planning and analysis.”
Grant will lead KPMG’s newly enhanced Digital Twin Centre of Excellence, headquartered in Victoria, to serve clients in sectors critical to Canada’s productivity and global competitiveness—particularly energy, infrastructure, and trade.
Co-founder Charles Lavigne, who joined KPMG alongside fellow co-founder Kevin Oke and their five-person team, emphasized the strategic fit. “KPMG’s experience in digital twins, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies complements LlamaZOO’s expertise,” said Lavigne. “This acquisition will benefit Canadian and global organizations by providing them with new tools and insights to make more informed business decisions.”
The LlamaZOO team now operates from KPMG’s Ignition innovation hub in Victoria.
