Drone as a Service
When you want the benefit from drones but prefer not to manage all individual elements, costs and risks by yourself
For the first time in history almost anyone can operate their own aircraft and use it to gain additional perspective of their work as well as to work faster and safer, or even to enable scenarios not at all possible before.
However, it is not enough just to acquire a drone. As a minimum, one needs to invest in pilot training and licensing, actively manage risk and safety, maintain equipment, as well as keep abreast of technology and regulatory developments. That means less time spent on your core business activities or hiring additional workforce.
Consequently, organizing drone operations or building its full capacity in-house is not cost-effective for everyone.
How can we help?
We offer to organize and perform flight operations for you – either as a part of your field teams or on our own.
Depending on your scenario and requirements, a combination of thermal imaging, photogrammetry, photography and videography equipment and techniques will be used for data gathering. The exact format and type of delivery material is always agreed and planned at the beginning of the engagement. Consequently, initial data clean-up and preparation, as well as creation of the agreed delivery material, is always included in the agreed package.
Following are the most common usage scenarios for which we can offer support.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the scenario and your exact requirements. We aim to perform the entire flight operations by ourselves but it may be necessary or significantly more efficient to have someone from your team involved in the operations. As a minimum, you need to be involved in initial planning and in the post-flight debriefing session.
Typically, we set a fixed price for the entire engagement based on its scope and agreed deliverables. That way we can be predictable about the cost of the engagement and enable you to assess its value in advance.
No. Scoping and sizing of an engagement are regarded as presales activity and not charged.
At the moment we work mainly in English language.
