Why Drone Mapping Software Should Be Vertical-Specific (Not One-Size-Fits-All)

Drone Mapping /

Introduction Most drone mapping software in the market today follows a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether the user is from mining, agriculture, defense, or infrastructure, they are often forced to use the same workflows, same outputs, and same UI — even though their requirements are completely different. As drone adoption increases across industries, it is becoming clear […]
