Bolivia’s Geolabs Takes on the Dilemma of Too Much Data
Summary
We had the opportunity to interview Gustavo Valenzuela, founder and CEO of Geolabs, for an interesting conversation about his company and its flag product. “The problem that these professionals are having is that after two or three flights, they quickly realize that they have created a new problem, processing and storing tons of data.” Traditionally surveyors have opted for either using free generic methods of storage or buying expensive processing software such as PIX4D or DroneDeploy to solve this data conundrum. “This way small companies and large enterprises alike can migrate their ground operations to an integral uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) solution, thus reducing field costs and at the same time avoid buying new software or adding lengthy training time to their workflows.” In the past, these solutions came from companies in the USA, Europe and Asia and most of the time they were in English, complicating adoption and adding language training to the already loaded schedule of office employees. “Another great benefit of having a local company developing, deploying, and maintaining complex technology such as Geolabs.Cloud, is that our support team, which coexists with our development team, are all native Spanish speakers and therefore the communication with our customers post-sale is seamless.” Another advantage of having all this information in the cloud is that companies can save on expensive storage systems and backup protocols that sometimes are flawed and lead to data losses and legal problems. Geolabs.Cloud is a native Spanish-speaking solution aimed at a specific market that needs to simplify their after-flight uncrewed operations.
