The Town of Pepperell, Massachusetts, struggled with a decade-old backlog of property imagery and a stalled town-wide asset inventory that required immense manual effort. By adopting NCTech’s high-definition street-level imagery and AI-derived 3D insights, they transitioned to a desktop-based review model that supports multiple municipal departments. This shift allowed the town to automate complex inventories and integrate critical data directly into their GIS and CAMA systems.
How Pepperell boosted operational efficiency:
- 70% Reduction in Field Time: Optimized workflows saved an estimated 117 days of fieldwork per year.
- 3.4x ROI: Achieved significant returns by transforming how the town manages property data and inventories field assets.
- Automated Feature Extraction: Leveraging NCTech’s high-accuracy 3D point cloud data, the platform automatically detected and cataloged thousands of road signs in days—a task that previously would have taken years.
- Cross-Departmental Synergy: Enabled the Police Department to secure MassDOT grants in hours and allowed Public Works to verify utility assets without deploying field crews.
