Core Services

Inspection workflows matched to how industrial buyers actually buy

B2B aerial documentation — not generic drone media work. Each service line is structured around a specific operational need: pre-bid scoping, post-storm evidence, thermal anomaly review, facility oversight, or recurring project visibility.

Rapid response Insurance / restoration

Storm Damage Documentation

Post-hail and post-wind aerial documentation. Fast deployment to create a timestamped visual record before repairs begin or insurance review starts.

Best for: evidence before repair View service
Thermal Solar O&M

Solar Thermal Inspections

Thermal imaging for commercial solar arrays and utility-scale solar farms. Identify hot-spot anomalies and string-level issues across large installations.

Best for: anomaly detection at scale View service
Facility ops Manufacturing / yards

Industrial Drone Inspections

Aerial documentation for manufacturing plants, industrial yards, and operational facilities where ground access is limited or insufficient for full-scope visual coverage.

Best for: hard-to-access sites View service
Recurring GC / owner reporting

Construction Monitoring

Recurring aerial documentation for active build sites. Supports project owners, GCs, and stakeholders with visual progress records tied to schedule milestones.

Best for: scheduled progress sets View service
Preparedness Pre-loss records

StormReady Baseline Docs

Pre-storm baseline records for commercial and industrial roofs — the standard comparison point for post-event insurance review and contractor coordination.

Best for: defensible before/after comparison View use case

How Engagements Work

Simple field process. Useful deliverables.

A clear three-step workflow helps buyers see how jobs move from scoping to capture to organized deliverables without unnecessary friction.

01

Scope the Site

Confirm property type, access constraints, goals, and whether the job is visual, thermal, storm-response, or progress monitoring.

02

Fly and Capture

Operate under FAA Part 107 with a documentation-first flight plan that covers the full building, site, or array instead of just highlight shots.

03

Deliver Organized Outputs

Provide imagery and thermal findings in a format your team can use for reports, contractor review, internal planning, and insurance workflows.
