Pointly
Berlin, Germany
What it is
Pointly uses AI workflows to classify and vectorize large LiDAR point clouds from airborne, mobile, and terrestrial sources. It accepts LAS and LAZ files and can return classified LAS or LAZ data alongside vectors in DXF, Shapefile, CSV, or GeoJSON. Workflows can pair AI classification with rule-based validation against geometry, semantic rules, and reference data, with quality control where needed. Pointly says an existing classifier can be adapted to a customer's class catalog within a day; training is quoted per project. A free account permits three uploads of up to 15 MPoints each to test standard classifiers, and the limit can be raised on request. The hosted platform runs on Microsoft Azure in the EU by default, with separate tenants available in other requested Azure regions. Pointly Box runs the full stack inside a customer's network and can operate air-gapped, with a hardware key for its license. The company identifies its certification as ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Professional monthly plans start at €99/mo, net and excluding VAT; API and Box options are also listed.
