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.

Flexibility

You can also scale up or down the services as required, depending on the changing project requirements.
