Drone data is powerful.
Processing it shouldn't hold you back.

Survey firms are adopting drones faster than ever. But getting from flight data to a deliverable your client can use still has real friction.

Getting survey-grade results from drone data is hard

Photogrammetry software can produce a surface, but that's a long way from a clean, professional deliverable your client can trust. Getting to 0.1′ vertical accuracy requires expert processing, rigorous QA/QC, and people who know what survey-grade actually means.

Office processing eats the time you saved in the field

You flew the site in hours instead of days. But then the data sits in a queue — waiting for photogrammetry, waiting for drafting, waiting for QA. The speed advantage of drones disappears when processing takes weeks.

Software, hardware, and staff costs add up fast

Photogrammetry licenses, high-performance workstations, trained technicians — it's a significant investment to build and maintain an in-house processing capability. And when project volume fluctuates, that capacity sits idle.

Expert processing so you can focus on surveying

We built Aerotas to be the processing team every survey firm deserves — fast, accurate, and always ready when you need us.

Aerotas clean topo surface deliverable with contours, breaklines, and spot elevations

Survey-grade accuracy: 0.1′ vertical or better

Your data is processed by ASPRS Certified Photogrammetrists and CAD Technicians across the U.S. Human-in-the-loop QA/QC at every step — not just automated software output. The result is data you can put your stamp on with confidence.

Deliverables in days, not weeks

Photogrammetry projects can be turned around same day. Linework projects typically deliver within 5 business days. Guaranteed delivery dates so you can commit to your clients with confidence.

Pay per project — no subscriptions, no idle capacity

No software licenses. No long-term contracts. No hardware investments. You pay for what you use, when you use it. Scale up during busy seasons and scale down when things slow — you're always running at 100% utilization.

Mission planning for every project

We offer mission planning for every mission to help you collect the best possible data in the field so deliverables are as accurate as possible. Better data in means better data out.

The right deliverable for every project

From photogrammetry-only to full linework to ALTA — every product is professionally drafted and delivered as a clean DWG package ready for your workflow.

You don't need to choose one or the other

Many of our clients process some projects in-house and send others to Aerotas. Because there's no commitment and no contract, we add to your options — we don't replace your existing capabilities.

Take on more projects than your office can handle. Hit deadlines when your bandwidth is stretched. Offer drone deliverables on project types you haven't staffed for yet.

The result: more revenue per surveyor, more projects delivered on time, and no idle processing infrastructure sitting on your books.

Aerotas always goes out of their way to give their customers the experience they expect. Aerotas was able to turn around a 5-acre warehouse site within 5 hours. We were under a tight deadline, and this allowed us to beat the clock.
