Reshaping how landfill sites are tracked and managed worldwide

Suez Australia helps governments, businesses, and communities access natural resources and create new resources by reusing and recycling water and waste. After relying on traditional base-and-rover surveying previously, they shifted to drone surveying on their landfill sites. To manage their survey data, they chose Propeller and are seeing excellent results across the board.
