What is Propeller Platform?

Propeller Platform is a cloud-based 3D mapping and data analytics solution designed for businesses in the construction, mining, and waste management industry. The software provides visual tools that can be accessed from any device, anywhere, and anytime to streamline stockpile measurements, design conformance verification, road-grade checks, and volumetrics. Propeller allows heavy civil and resources operations to measure and manage their worksites effortlessly while tracking progress and productivity safely.

With Propeller's full virtual walkthrough of their site with a complete 3D model feature, users can create an accurate picture of what's happening on their site. Furthermore, the timeline slider enables them to visually compare surveys over time to assess progress made effectively. All data quality is guaranteed with processing reports delivered with every dataset as well as checkpoint verification & filtering analysis.

Propeller offers single-point comparisons between final grades in cross-section or surface-to-surface comparisons through uploading designs surfaces and lineworks for comparison against final grades ensuring teams meet original specifications by catching errors early on. Propellers' sophisticated algorithms produce results that are both consistent across different forms of terrain usage scenarios while providing high-quality data visualization capabilities essential for effective production management decision-making processes.
