Ongoing partnership
Business context
Our client is a leading drone manufacturer serving multiple industries, from urban planning to mining.
Despite their advanced hardware, their software didn’t allow clients to share flight data, adding hours to the workflow.
Solution overview
To change that, the company started developing a cloud platform, but after a year, the progress stalled.
They reached out to Radency for an embedded team to help build the platform.

Unified terabytes of data
into one cloud-native system
Our client’s drones can scan large areas or mines in a single flight. But terabytes of captured data lived on local machines and USB drives, making data sharing nearly impossible.
They needed a cloud-native platform so clients could view and edit flights from any device, anywhere. 


The company started building it in-house, but progress was slow, so they brought in Radency engineers to speed up development.
Migration to cloud.
The app tied users to one computer. We had to make flight planning accessible on any device.
Complex data.
Drones generated terabytes of data in multiple formats. The system had to process it quickly.
Full redesign.
We had to redesign the app so that even non-tech teams could use it.
Partner-led
embedded team of 3 engineers
The client first needed one engineer for CRM integration.
A year later, they asked Radency to build a cloud-native platform. We quickly formed a team: 3 engineers and a Delivery partner.

3 engineers + Delivery partner added
After a year of working with our engineer, the client asked us for an embedded team to build a cloud app. We quickly compiled a team of 3 more full-stack developers and got to work.

One team instead of two
With PoC, we made sure key features could work on desktop, web, and mobile using a single codebase, so we didn’t need 2 separate teams.
3 →
Feature parity in 3 months
First, our team achieved feature parity with the existing app, but now across 3 platforms and with a fresh design and advanced flight planning.
4 →
Our team merges with the in-house one
The client released a demo for investors and leads and merged their team with ours, so we became fully integrated, sharing one tech stack, meetings, and even internal events.

App release is a success
The platform launched and had instant success. Clients appreciated new features, so the client introduced 3 subscription plans, opening a new revenue stream.
6 →
Embedded collaboration
Today, Radency engineers and a Delivery partner remain embedded with the client’s team, focused on scaling performance and pushing new features to production.
Results we achieved so far:
50% revenue growth
With the new cloud platform, users gained more value, so now the client offers 3 software subscription levels, boosting revenue by 50%.
More customers attracted
The platform attracted new customers who specifically sought features like cloud sync, offline mode, and map editing that other tools lack.
From quarterly to weekly releases
Before, the client’s team shipped new versions once every 3 months. With Radency, the co-founder got the weekly updates he needed to keep stakeholders confident.
2x development speed
Radency’s engineers built 3 complex cloud apps with one codebase, speeding the development twice at least.

“They have very good engineers that understand our needs with little instructions.”

Cloud-native
drone platform used worldwide
The new platform lets users plan, edit, and manage drone flights from desktop, web, or mobile, with real-time syncing and offline access. Flight data can be visualized in 2D/3D maps, post-processed into multiple formats, and precisely geolocated for accurate mapping.
Key features shipped with Radency’s engineers:
01
FEATURE
AWS cloud sync with offline mode
Users can access and update flights from anywhere. Offline mode lets teams edit flight plans without the Internet, with all changes syncing once connectivity is restored.
02
FEATURE
Flight planner migration
We recreated the desktop flight planner in the new app, ensuring 3D simulations accurately match real-world drone paths for precise flight execution.
03
FEATURE
Post-processing of captured data
We built a post-processing pipeline that turns raw drone captures into flat maps, 3D models, or lidar point clouds with no extra software required.
04
FEATURE
Groundstation integration
Our developers integrated Ground Station to track drones with just a mere  cm error instead of meter readings, using satellite signals and real-time corrections.
05
FEATURE
Intuitive map editing tools
We replaced the complex previous viewer with an intuitive interface, where users can easily edit maps, split areas, follow flight paths, or switch coordinate systems.
06
FEATURE
Feature flags
Feature flags let the client control which features are available for each subscription level, so new tools can be rolled out safely.
The new cloud app attracts more users
Initially, the client wasn’t sure a cloud drone platform was possible. Two years later, it’s live and successfully attracting new users, who choose them over competitors, thanks to the new system.
2022
Limited platform with no data sharing
Releases once in 3 months
Visually complex interface
Data post-processing required external software
Revenue capped at hardware sales
2025
Full cloud platform with access from desktop, web, and mobile
2X faster delivery with one codebase for all platforms
