Could drones save time, lives, and millions of dollars?

A drone mapping software startup with the largest drone data platform in the world, DroneDeploy, which recently saved an insurance company $113m after determining a fire that ripped through five acres of land in France was not the customer's responsibility. Here's why it proves drones are the future of insurance assessment.

Maps and models in minutes, not weeks
The fire destroyed two hectares of land, which would ordinarily take weeks to map - but drones running DroneDeploy software completed a flight in ten minutes, had a 2D map and 3D model produced in less than a day, and ensured assessors didn't have to clamber over dangerous thatched roofs.

Collaboration on the cloud
Since their map was hosted on the DroneDeploy cloud, it was easily shareable and became a central tool where the team could share findings - from data about wind direction to information collected onsite by the insurance inspector.

Prevention before catastrophe strikes
Insurance companies can also use drones to prevent disasters like these - inspecting properties, identifying risks, and working with the customer to mitigate them. And when unpreventable disasters happen, drones can speed up the claims process - getting victims of disaster their settlement sooner so they can get back on their feet.
