Customer quotes
The technology that Propeller offers is saving us a bunch of time in the field.
Everything before that had to be done by hand, either with a GPS or total station, would have taken days. Now, I can do it in a couple hours with a drone and get more accurate data.
We have streamlined the measurement process for stockpiles.
Before, the calculations were made in another software. This process was both costly and time consuming. We now scan several times a year and measure directly in Propeller.
We’ve got full transparency on where we’re at.
We’re never more than two or three days out in terms of where the progress truly is, despite what the myriad of (probably outdated) spreadsheets is telling us.
