More Than Hardware

Focus on Surveying. We'll Handle the Rest.

Membership combines hardware, software, training, processing, and support into a single platform designed to help survey firms adopt drone technology without building an internal processing team.

The Workflow

From Project Setup to Final Deliverables

Step 1

Create Your Project

Create a project in and provide basic project details. Our team reviews the information and generates a processing quote, often the same day.

Step 2

Receive Your Processing Quote

Review the processing quote and approve it. This gives you full visibility into processing costs before work begins.

Step 3

Capture Survey Data

Use Magellan™ to collect LiDAR and imagery for the project.

Step 4

Validate Your Mission

Use CYAN to verify data quality before leaving the site and identify any issues while you’re still in the field.

Step 5

Our Experts Process the Data

Upload validated project data to PulseCloud where it is securely transferred to our processing team.

Step 6

Receive Your Deliverables

Our U.S.-based processing team creates the requested deliverables and returns them in the formats needed for your workflow and clients.

Pricing Transparency

Submit Bids Faster. Win More Jobs.

Every project is quoted before processing begins, giving you visibility into costs before work starts.

No Surprises

Know processing costs before work begins, so you can price projects with confidence and avoid unexpected expenses.

Fast Quoting

Receive most processing quotes within 8 hours of creating your project, helping you respond to opportunities and submit bids faster.

Pricing that Wins

We don’t win if you don’t win. Our processing rates are designed to help you submit competitive proposals, protect your margins, and confidently add drone deliverables to your projects.
