Testimonials

We asked NCTech to collect and LiDAR for us across nine US cities at very short notice. We also ordered data from San Francisco and Los Angeles, CA on separate occasions. On each occasion, they delivered the data on time and we were impressed by the data quality and how quickly they mobilized their team

Big Tech

This is something the city has always wanted to do!

City CTO

This is exactly what we are looking for!

Collecting better data today means better solutions in the future. In the past, organisations have performed asset management manually and Infrequently. A car-mounted solution like iSTAR Pulsar makes this much faster and easier. And now lower cost than ever before.

Jason Clark, Director

Icon Spatial

iSTAR is very impressive it’s size, ease of use, portability and image quality make it a worthy companion for our FARO Focus Laser Scanners.

Andrew Maltby, MRICS Director

Maltby Surveys

Using the iSTAR 360 imaging system has been critical
iSTAR has provided foresight to data management considerations over the complete lifecycle of this project. Using such an efficient and consistent method of image documentation, means that we are sure to deliver within both an accurate and competitive cost-structure for our customer.

Chris El-Araj, Principal

iSTAR Pulsar is a remarkable feat — a serious product for valuable, machine learning-conducive datasets.

Program Manager

Big Tech

We licensed NCTech's high resolution street-level imagery from several cities, including Los Angeles and New York. They always delivered high quality data on time, achieved comprehensive coverage and provided excellent technical support. The engineering team continues to regard the quality of their data highly as their imagery is the most consistent and hassle-free offering on the market. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Large Technology Customer (Augmented Reality)

ordered mobile mapping data from NCTech to augment a digitized utility inventory tool we are building for a US City. The quality of imagery has been excellent and this will be useful for road pavement condition analysis and planning activities. We are also very impressed by the timeframe to capture such high quality data over traditional manual collection methodologies.
