With Propeller, you can unify your plans, field data, machines, and people on a single map — from ground to cloud. Get the job done right the first time, every time.
Manage your design surfaces, plans, surveys, and field data from a single platform, replacing data silos with on-demand insights.
Bring everyone together with one shared source of truth. With complete transparency and easy access, your team can collaborate better, make smarter decisions, and get the job done faster.
Leverage data from any survey equipment—machines, drones, GPS rovers, laser scanners, or total stations—to calculate volumes, measure elevations, and compare current site conditions to future designs or past surveys with ease.
Stay ahead with daily insights into your progress, pace, and what’s left to do. Identify inefficiencies quickly, streamline your workflows, and keep your projects moving forward—on time and on budget.
From progress updates to data management, these tools help teams stay in control and on schedule.
