Case Study: Nearmap achieves near-real-time, scalable roof-geometry labeling with CloudFactory

Delivering data insights with near real-time aerial image labeling

Nearmap, a geospatial company delivering 3D rooftop inspections and roof-geometry data, faced the challenge of scaling a newly acquired roof-geometry service that required accurate labeling of complex 3D roof facets in near real time. To meet fast customer turnaround times, handle intensive labeler training, and flex capacity seasonally, Nearmap engaged CloudFactory for Computer Vision and Managed Workforce services to provide near real-time aerial image labeling support.

CloudFactory implemented trained, scalable teams (with intensive 3–4 week onboarding) to perform specialized roof and facet annotation, supplying 24x7 coverage and flexible hours to match seasonal demand. As a result, CloudFactory enabled faster, more accurate model training and customer responses, helping Nearmap scale the business 4x in year one, maintain ongoing improvements in speed and efficiency, and sustain a 3+ year partnership.
