How it works

From boundary to verified data in six steps

01
Request

Draw or upload your site boundary. Pick a survey type. Get an instant, itemised quote.

02
Match

Certified operators near your site see the mission and bid, or accept the list price.

03
Fly

A standardised flight plan is generated for the mission — every survey flown to the same spec.

04
Upload

Imagery and sensor data go straight from the field into the platform.

05
Process

Our pipeline turns raw data into orthomosaics, canopy models and vegetation indices.

06
Report

Code-ready outputs you can view on a map, download, and share with your validator.

Automation

You post the mission.
The platform does the rest.

Everything that used to be phone calls, spreadsheets and PDFs is a workflow here — the same automation stack we're building into Rethink Codes.

Use cases

Built for the work you actually do

Year-5 & 15 verification

Full-coverage evidence for Woodland Carbon Code milestones — flown to the emerging aerial methodology, not around it.

Peatland baselines & restoration

Condition surveys before works begin, then repeat flights that evidence grip-blocking and re-wetting actually worked.

Biodiversity net gain

Habitat extent and condition mapping for BNG units, with like-for-like change detection between years.

Establishment checks

Spot failed patches and browsing damage in years 1–3, while beating-up is still cheap.

Storm & disease response

Windthrow extents and disease-spread mapping tasked in days, not the months a ground team takes.

Natural capital reporting

Board-ready figures and shareable map evidence for investors, lenders and credit buyers.

The network

Operators where
the projects are.

Certified survey pilots across the Highlands, the Borders, Wales and the North — matched to missions by distance, sensors and certification. Remote sites are the point, not the problem.
