Propeller Platform
Sydney, Australia
What it is
Propeller Platform brings plans, field data, machines, and teams together on a map for worksite management. It uses survey data from machines, drones, GPS rovers, laser scanners, and total stations to measure volumes, elevations, distances, surface areas, and stockpiles, and to compare site conditions with designs or earlier surveys. Users can view sites in 2D or 3D, combine survey captures, inspect map layers and cross sections, and follow changes over time. Progress and productivity tools include DirtMate machine location, utilization, speed, and cycle data. Teams can share maps by unique URL, collaborate on markups in real time, and produce reports and progress videos. Listed integrations and supported workflows include Trimble, Procore, Autodesk, OneDrive, HCSS, ArcGIS, and QGIS. The platform supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. Pricing is available on request; its 14-day trial does not include processing, and access to a user's own data lasts 14 days. There is no free plan.
