From field reality
to decision-ready data.
Every dataset is built on disciplined planning, verified capture and accountable review—so you can act on what the data reveals.
Equipment can fail. Our systems are designed to detect, respond, report and improve.
Plan: Assess risk. Design the mission.

Decision-Ready Data, Delivered Fast
We capture high-resolution imagery, LiDAR, and inspection data, then process it into practical outputs your team can review, share, and act on without waiting on specialist software.
Fast Turnaround
Capture, processing, and delivery timelines built around field decisions.
Useful Outputs
Maps, models, reports, and SmartData workspaces where they fit the job.
Quality Checked
In-house QA keeps deliverables consistent, readable, and easy to trust.
SmartData demo
Put the platform in their hands
Open a public-safe SmartData workspace with inspection imagery, maps, 3D models, and point clouds. It is the fastest way for clients to see how drone data becomes a usable decision tool.
SmartData BYO and private hosting
Upload your first dataset, or plan private hosting
Already processing data in DJI Terra, Agisoft Metashape, or a similar workflow? Upload supported viewer-ready packages into SmartData, including orthomosaic hosted views, Cesium 3D Tiles, point clouds, and Gaussian Splat datasets.
Start with self-service BYO hosting for a single dataset, then move to Starter, Pro, private cloud, or self-hosted Enterprise when the data needs more control.
1
Dataset Pass
One hosted dataset with 50 GB included storage and 2 seats.
3
Starter
Three hosted datasets for repeat uploads and small teams.
15
Pro
Fifteen hosted datasets with monthly billing for active teams.
Dataset count is the main customer-facing limit. Included storage is the fair-use infrastructure allowance for processed, hosted-view packages. Enterprise can be scoped for private cloud or self-hosted deployment.
