Drone LiDAR and Software Rental Options from GeoCue Now Available in Europe

Drone LIDAR has solidified a position as leading technology in the geospatial industry for surveying and mapping applications. However, for some new to drone LiDAR, the cost of LiDAR hardware, software, workflow, training, and support can be intimidating. The 2023 LiDARental Program provides easy access to the drone LIDAR/ imagery arena.

GeoCue CEO, Frank Darmayan explains, “We understand that many surveying, engineering, and construction companies are eager to implement drone LiDAR, but hesitant to adopt the technology due to costs, support, software, and adaptation. That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever to try this technology at low risk and low cost through our LiDARental Program.”

The program includes training, support, data processing and visualization software through affordable weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual rental plans. GeoCue understands that some projects take more or less time than others, therefore, rental periods are structured to meet your needs; as short as 1 week, up to 12 months. Rental also includes access to LP360 Drone processing software including Strip Align and Photo options for the rental period including one month after rental end date.

Participants in the 2023 LiDARental Program can choose from a full range of professional-grade geomatics sensors to select the right drone mapping solution for their project needs. Options include the TrueView 435, the TrueView 515, and the TrueView 660. Processing is included through LP360 Drone, transforming LiDAR and imagery data with visualization, quality check, classification, 3D editing, and analysis capabilities.

Conveniently, should a customer decide that a traditional purchase is more practical than renting, GeoCue can easily upgrade the plan to full ownership. The program is built around the needs of the customer.

According to Vincent Legrand, Vice President of Sales for GeoCue, this new rental option will help open the drone LiDAR market to a wider range of geospatial companies.  “Our goal is to meet customers on their terms with technology adoption, budget, and resources. The LiDARental Program gives them the option to affordably complete their projects with all the benefits of our TrueView drone LiDAR equipment and LP360 software split into convenient monthly payments.”
