Digital Surveyor Bundle

The complete and flexible cloud platform for surveying firms going digital

Field-to-delivery in one platform
Lightning fast cloud processing
Collaborate seamlessly around a single source of truth
Invoice faster and win more work

Built for Surveyors, Mappers, and Geospatial Professionals accelerating their digital transformation, the Digital Surveyor Bundle combines Pointerra3D CORE with configurable, on-demand Analytics. It replaces slow, desktop-bound workflows with fast, browser-based processing — turning weeks of work into hours.

The Digital Surveyor Bundle eliminates the traditional surveying workflow pain points including, desktop software crashes, IT overhead, and weeks-long processing cycles enabling small and medium sized firms to deliver enterprise-grade 2D/3D analytics that larger competitors can't match.

Process terabyte-scale datasets in hours, not days. Share results instantly with clients through secure browser links. Win time-sensitive contracts by delivering photogrammetry, change detection, tree segmentation, and poles-and-wires extraction faster than traditional desktop workflows allow


How it Works: Four Steps to Competitive Advantage

Step 1: Upload & Process with CORE

Upload your lidar, imagery, BIM/CAD, or vector data directly through your browser. Pointerra3D CORE processes datasets of any size in the cloud, with no desktop software installs, no hardware constraints, and no waiting for local processing to complete.

  • Browser upload for common geospatial and engineering formats
  • Cloud processing so performance is not tied to local machines
  • Consistent workflow across teams and projects

Step 2: Visualise & Collaborate Instantly

Access your processed data immediately in the browser. Create interactive 3D visualisations, generate cross-sections, and share secure links with clients and team members. Everyone views the same live data without file transfers or software compatibility issues.

  • Interactive 3D viewing in-browser
  • Cross-sections and basic outputs on demand
  • Secure sharing so stakeholders see the same source of truth

Step 3: Run Analytics with Processing Units

Apply your included processing units to extract insights automatically. Each unit handles specific analytics tasks such as photogrammetry, tree segmentation, change detection, poles and wires extraction, and mesh clash detection.

  • Automated analytics to reduce manual effort
  • Repeatable outputs across large portfolios
  • Designed for operational use, not one-off visualisation

Step 4: Deliver Results Same Day

Analytics results integrate directly into your CORE environment. Generate reports, share interactive findings with clients, and deliver insights in hours instead of weeks. Unused processing units roll over, helping you maximise your investment.

  • Report-ready outputs and shareable findings
  • Faster turnaround for decisions, approvals, and field planning
  • Rollover units so you are not forced into wasteful usage

Understanding Processing Units

Processing Units (PUs) make enterprise-grade analytics accessible and predictable for surveying firms of all sizes. Unlike traditional per-project pricing that creates billing complexity and budget uncertainty, PUs work like cloud computing credits—providing transparent, scalable access to AI-powered insights.

Each Processing Unit represents a set amount of processing capability that can be applied to various analytics tasks. Your Digital Surveyor Bundle includes 50 PUs that can be used flexibly across different project needs:

Common Analytics Tasks:

  • Photogrammetry (1,000 images): 1 PU
  • Tree Segmentation (10 km²): 1 PU
  • Change Detection (10 km²): 1 PU
  • Poles & Wires Extraction (10 linear km): 1 PU
  • Mesh Clash Detection (1 model): 1 PU
  • Ground Classification (50 km²): 1 PU
  • Building Footprint Extraction (5 km²): 1 PU
