Picterra & Skytec LLC partner to offer data-driven ESG reporting with geospatial intelligence

Lausanne, Switzerland, December 15, 2021 – Picterra, the leading provider of geospatial machine learning software, today announced a partnership with US-based Skytec LLC. A leader in UAS, remote sensing, and GIS technologies, Skytec will use Picterra to enhance its ability to offer data capture, analysis, and information delivery services at scale.

Picterra makes it easy to train, deploy, and manage machine learning models to spot patterns, count objects, and monitor changes in satellite and drone imagery at scale. The platform will be used as part of Skytec’s Ranger™ offering which combines satellite monitoring with the highly detailed verification capabilities of unmanned systems to:

• Monitor a client’s area of interest
• Produce an event notification when changes are detected
• Provide the option to verify with higher resolution satellite or unmanned imaging resources.

Projects will center on helping clients across sectors such as FMCG, utilities, natural resource management, and financial services to monitor their ESG investments and support corporate sustainability programs with data. For example, clients will be able to verify carbon offsets and analyze whether conservation strategies are successful.

“Customers’ need for geospatial intelligence is growing rapidly and the only way to deliver it at scale is to use machine learning,” said Andrew Carroll, CTO & Co-Founder of Skytec. “After rigorous evaluation, we chose Picterra as our technology partner thanks to the platform’s ease of use and our collaboration with the engineering team.”

Pierrick Poulenas, CEO & Co-Founder of Picterra said: “Skytec’s team possesses strong environmental science, remote sensing, and GIS expertise. Through this strategic partnership, we can empower clients with geospatial intelligence to create transparent data-backed ESG targets.”
