What is Site Scan for ArcGIS
Site Scan for ArcGIS is a drone data capture and processing platform that helps organizations create and manage drone-derived maps and 3D products for GIS workflows. It supports flight planning, image collection, and processing outputs such as orthomosaics and point clouds that can be published into ArcGIS. The product is typically used by GIS teams, survey/mapping groups, and asset or site operations that need repeatable drone mapping tied to enterprise geospatial data management.
Native ArcGIS integration
Site Scan for ArcGIS is designed to publish drone outputs into ArcGIS content and workflows, reducing manual export/import steps. This helps GIS teams keep drone-derived layers aligned with existing web maps, feature services, and organizational sharing controls. For organizations standardized on ArcGIS, this can simplify governance and downstream use of drone products across departments.
End-to-end drone workflow
The product covers key steps from mission planning and data capture through processing and delivery of mapping outputs. This reduces reliance on separate tools for flight planning, processing, and GIS publishing. It is suited to repeatable site documentation where consistent capture and processing steps matter.
Enterprise administration features
Site Scan for ArcGIS aligns with enterprise deployment patterns common in GIS programs, including organizational user management and controlled sharing of outputs. This supports multi-user teams that need standardized processes and auditability around drone projects. It can fit environments where IT and GIS administrators manage access and data lifecycle.
ArcGIS-centric dependency
The strongest value is realized when an organization already uses ArcGIS for geospatial data management and publishing. Teams using other GIS stacks may find integration benefits limited and may need additional steps to move outputs into their preferred systems. This can increase friction for mixed-tool environments or partners outside the ArcGIS ecosystem.
Processing scope may vary
Photogrammetry capabilities and supported deliverables can differ by licensing, configuration, and supported sensors/workflows. Some advanced reconstruction, inspection, or specialized analytics needs may require complementary tools or additional processing pipelines. Buyers typically need to validate required outputs (e.g., accuracy requirements, point cloud formats, deliverable types) against their use cases.
Operational requirements for drones
Successful use depends on drone hardware compatibility, pilot operations, and consistent field procedures. Organizations may need training and standard operating procedures to ensure repeatable capture quality and compliance. These operational dependencies can slow adoption compared with purely desktop-based photogrammetry tools.
