Every drone project produces a large volume of data: aerial imagery, orthophotos, photogrammetric models, 3D Tiles, point clouds, panoramas, video and flight data. Too often the files are delivered and left in a folder. Skylens is designed to change that model.
The idea is simple
Choose a site where change over time matters: construction, infrastructure, industry, solar, quarrying, development, a large property or any recurring operation. Upload documentation you already have—or make the first capture as an investment in the client—and present the site in Skylens instead of sending another folder link.
The first capture sells the second
A single capture shows existing conditions. Real value begins when the same site is captured again.
The business model for drone operators
First capture — enter the account
Use a project you have already captured or document a strategic client as a marketing investment. The goal is to show the client their project inside Skylens.
Second capture — start selling a series
Offer the next visit as part of an ongoing service: “Let’s return next month and see what changed.” You set your own price for capture, processing, mapping, models, panoramas, measurements and reports. Skylens takes no commission from your production work.
The first two dates in Skylens — no platform fee
For each site, the first two capture dates are stored and presented in Skylens without a platform charge. This gives you room to demonstrate the value before a recurring cost begins.
From the third capture — ₪100 + VAT per site, per month
When the client continues, the site becomes an active project. The Founding Pilots plan has no per-user fee, no separate price per model, no commission on your capture work and no revenue share.
Skylens → provides the spatial workspace
End client → receives a visual history of the site
You decide what to charge
The Skylens fee is infrastructure cost, not the client price. You might sell monthly site documentation for ₪2,500 and pay ₪100 for the site workspace, or price every two-month visit at ₪3,500 and include Skylens in the package.
Why it works for the operator
Instead of client → capture → file delivery → finished, the model becomes client → first capture → Skylens → second capture → comparison → documentation series → recurring revenue.
Why it works for the client
The client does not need to understand 3D Tiles, GeoTIFF or point clouds. They need an answer to one question: “What is happening at my site?” Skylens brings models, orthophotos, images, 360°, video, GIS and multiple dates into one place.
Win × Win × Win
The operator wins
One-off jobs become recurring services, increasing the lifetime value of every client.
The client wins
They receive an organized historical record instead of files scattered across systems.
Skylens wins
Real projects and real feedback shape the roadmap, followed by recurring platform revenue as active sites grow.
Example: three months of documentation
Month 1: first capture and workspace. Platform fee: ₪0.
Month 2: the client pays for another capture and can compare two dates. Platform fee: ₪0.
Month 3: the client continues; Skylens charges ₪100 + VAT per month for the active site.
We are looking for the first partners
We are looking for drone operators, photogrammetry professionals and reality-capture teams ready to take a real project, present it to a real client and turn it into continuous documentation. We provide the platform; you bring the workflow, data and client.
Drone Capture → Spatial Workspace → Recurring Service
Turn a one-off drone project into an ongoing spatial documentation service.
