DroneDeploy

DroneDeploy is a San Francisco reality capture company that turns drone and ground robot imagery into measurable site data. Founded in 2013, it began with aerial mapping and photogrammetry for agriculture and construction, then expanded into interior progress capture and asset inspection for energy and industrial clients. Contractors use the platform for earthwork volume calculations, schedule verification and as-built documentation, tasks that previously took a survey crew. The company says its users have captured roughly 20 trillion square feet of visual data. Procore agreed in July 2026 to acquire DroneDeploy for $845 million, a deal that folds reality capture directly into the project management platform most U.S. contractors already run.
