Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

DroneDeploy provides robotic capture and AI-powered reality capture for a complete understanding of quality, safety, and progress across job sites.

Target Customer

Construction professionals, owners, contractors, engineers, project managers, QA/QC and safety teams, and operations professionals who need accurate site documentation and progress visibility.

Key Differentiator

Unified reality capture across aerial (DroneDeploy Aerial) and ground (DroneDeploy Ground) data with AI-driven insights, BIM/design overlays, and open APIs, plus support for multiple drone brands and ground robots.

Pain Points

1Lack of accurate, up-to-date site documentation across project phases (pre-construction through closeout).
2Time-consuming, manual inspection and reporting processes that delay decision-making.
3Difficulty comparing built/as-built conditions to BIM/design data and communicating issues to stakeholders.

Key Features

1Aerial and Ground data within a single platform for end-to-end site documentation
2AI-powered reports and automation (Safety AI, progress, stockpile, etc.)
3RTK/PPK support and GCP compatibility for survey-grade accuracy
43D models, orthomosaics, point clouds, BIM overlays, and map/model comparisons
5Drones from multiple brands (DJI, Anzu, Skydio, Wingtra) plus ground robots (e.g., Boston Dynamics’ Spot) support
6Open APIs for integration with existing tech stacks and workflows
7Professional services option to capture data on sites and projects
