PRODUCT UPDATE news from Be.𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 Pointscene!

🔸 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬: Orthophotos now process twice as fast while point clouds process four times quicker!
🔸 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Enjoy seamless drone photo processing.

We're thrilled to share our biggest update ever! Our photogrammetric processing is finally available for all users, and we’ve streamlined our uploading process—designed to save you time!

We heard that you like how easy Pointscene is to use, but long processing times and multiple upload pages were frustrating.

Our Solution:
🔸 We've combined all upload pages into one page, the “Upload file,” and optimized the processing speed for orthophotos and point clouds: two times faster for orthos and four times faster for point clouds!
🔸 Introduced our all-new Drone Maps feature for automatic processing of drone photos.

How It Works:
🔸 You can now upload all your files via one upload file page.
🔸 Activate the Drone Maps feature, purchase a photo package, and have your orthophotos and surface models processed and into Pointscene, within 2-3 hours!

𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝟑𝟎𝟎 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬, 𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟔𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 €, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐎𝟐 𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝟐𝟎 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐬.

This remarkable achievement was realized by a Pointscene customer in Lohja, Finland, after re-evaluating foundation surface levels using reality data and Pointscene software.

🔸 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: After comparing the initial plans to the latest drone imagery and point cloud, the contractor realized the excessive amount of filling required.

🔸 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The team used Pointscene for test calculations and proposed lowering the designed yard surfaces by 0,5 meters to save time and money, significantly reducing the needed fill.

It's stunning how combining current situations with design insights can reveal crucial information about a construction project.
