2. Scale your business
Whether you’re starting a business from
scratch, or using drones to expand your
current operation, you want to build
your business efficiently. If you’re adding
drone ops to a corporate ecosystem, you
want to prove to your executive and legal
teams that the program complies with
the law and isn’t exposing the company to
undue risk.
While many drones come with flight
recording systems, if you have multiple
drones and pilots operating on different
systems, your information will be
fragmented at best—and there are no ops
planning capabilities. And, because the
drone industry is so new, keeping up with
evolving regulations will be a continuous
undertaking for companies that try to
operate without software that provides
automated compliance as a function of
workflow, even as the rules change.

Skyward puts all of your operational data
in one place and creates a system of
record that scales with you as you grow.
It ensures that you’ll stay up to date with
changing regulations. And it enables you
to prove your flight hours and operational
experience to potential customers.
3. Operate intelligently and efficiently
Not every UAV operation is run by an
aviation expert. Software is all about
bridging the knowledge gap between
aviators and executives and empowering
everyone to make well-informed decisions.
If you’re a pilot, software gives you
trustworthy, validated information to plan
your flights and an efficient system to log
them. If you’re a manager or business
leader, software should give you the tools
to organize your operations and manage
and store records on maintenance, flight
hours, regulatory approvals, and proof
of insurance.
