Enterprise drone hardware and limited site scanning

Formerly leading commercial drone platform. Now focuses on specialized drone hardware components while legacy Site Scan software exists in limited form through Esri partnership.

$179M total funding over 5 rounds raised 🏢 Established
Founded 2009 Previously served construction and mining firms; now focused on specialized applications like airport inspection

Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Construction teams need reliable drone hardware for regulated environments and specialized applications like airport inspections. Legacy Site Scan users need limited flight planning capabilities without full cloud processing.

The Solution

Provides FAA Type Certified drone hardware for highly regulated airspace and maintains Site Scan Limited Edition for basic flight planning, though full cloud-based processing capabilities were discontinued.
