5 Reasons Why Outsourcing Drone Services Beats Launching an In-House Program

Updated: Mar 20, 2023

Drones have become increasingly popular in various industries, including construction, agriculture, mining and environmental monitoring. Companies in these industries are using drones to improve efficiency, productivity and safety. However, many companies face the question of whether to outsource drone services or build an in-house drone program. While building an in-house program might seem like the right thing to do, if you don’t have experienced and certified drone pilots or the right commercial-grade equipment and processing software, you could actually be adding costs and negatively impacting your efforts and results.


Here are the 5 reasons why we suggest outsourcing your needs to a professional drone service provider instead of heading up an in-house drone program.


Cost

Outsourcing drone services can be more cost-effective than building an in-house program. Starting an in-house program requires a significant investment in drone equipment, software, training and personnel. For example, all drone operators in Canada must be certified with at least a Basic Drone Pilot Licence issued by the Government of Canada. However, this basic certification is limited and, for the projects most companies need, your drone operators would have to have an Advanced Drone Pilot Licence.


Outsourcing drone services allows companies to avoid the certification and continual re-certification process. At the same time, it also mitigates the on-going costs of equipment, software management and research and development. The clients we have that outsource their drone services like that they only pay for what they need, reducing costs and increasing flexibility.


Expertise

Professional drone service providers have extensive experience and in-depth knowledge about drone technology and applications. They have trained personnel who are skilled in piloting drones, collecting and processing data and delivering precise results. By outsourcing drone services, companies can access this expertise and benefit from that extensive knowledge and experience.


Time Savings

Outsourcing drone services can save companies a great deal of time and resources. Starting an in-house drone program will be time-consuming and can distract companies from their core business activities. When outsourcing your drone needs to a professional provider like Zepplin Geomatics Inc., we allow you to focus on what you do best – running your business.

Quality Results

They have the experience and expertise to collect and process data efficiently, ensuring that companies receive high-quality, accurate results. Based on years of extensive experience, professional drone service providers can also give insight and guidance on the data you need to make the right decisions for your operations.

Flexibility

Outsourcing drone services can provide you with greater flexibility. As the client, you have the power to choose the type and frequency of the drone services you require based on your project needs. You can also scale up or down the services as required, depending on the changing project requirements.


Ultimately, it’s clear there are many benefits to outsourcing your drone service needs.
