Swiss developer Wingtra, a leader in the VTOL mapping space, recently announced the unveiling of its new WingtraCLOUD software, designed to “revolutionize the way customers expand their drone programs and operations.” WingtraCLOUD promises to simplify data collection and streamline the onboarding process for both surveyors and pilots, providing vital drone data planning and collaboration abilities to its customers.
With a completely new, user-friendly interface and flight planning experience, the new software includes time-saving features like site-based file organization, advanced 3D planning, full site coordination, and improved connectivity via cloud storage syncing. This all-in-one solution makes business operations more streamlined for a wide range of organizations, allowing them to optimize their time and money. Since different stakeholders have shared access to the information in the app, WingtraCLOUD promises to increase collaboration and ward off costly miscommunications.
