The Propeller Platform
Map and measure your worksite, yourself, with browser-based 3D surveys.
Track. Map. Measure. Everything.
Propeller is a cloud-based data visualization and analytics platform. No software to install, just accurate 3D site surveys.
Measurable 3D site surveys
View your entire site with a 3D model so realistic you can use it for virtual walkthroughs. Our earthworks software streamlines your stockpile measurements, road-grade checks, design conformance checks, and volumetrics.
Verifiable data quality with processing reports
Know your data is accurate thanks to the processing reports, filtering analysis, checkpoint verification that come with every dataset. Advanced algorithms process your data and analyze its quality, then our expert data team reviews it too, so you don’t get stuck with problems down the line.
Interactive, visual timeline of your site
Visually assess how your site is doing today or over its lifetime in the timeline slider. Upload design surfaces or linework to see how you’re faring against the final grade with easy-to-understand single-point, cross-section, and surface-to-surface comparisons.
Cloud-processed data, QA’d by experts
Propeller takes care of complex data processing on our servers, so it doesn’t monopolize yours. Combining our intelligent software and quality checks done by real people, your images, checkpoints, and design uploads are rendered accurately. Whether you’re one site or 50, Propeller is ready to process your data.
One-click reporting and sharing

Each includes a timestamp and direct-to-measurement hyperlinks for simple collaboration

"We have used about every mapping service in the aerial industry and ease of use as well as customer support is by far the factors that set Propeller apart from all the other services we have tried."
Josh May Founder at Autonomous Flight Technologies
“An existing client that runs a large surveying company was so impressed with the ease of use and the visual data available along with the downloads that they now insist I use Propeller as default on work that I do for them.”
Simon Stickland Director at Dragons Eye Filming
