Case Study: Big Sky Theory streamlines drone operations and compliance with Dronedesk

Big Sky Theory - Customer Case Study

Big Sky Theory, a startup using drones to detect methane emissions for the oil and gas industry, faced the challenge of managing its complex drone operations and ensuring regulatory compliance while developing innovative new technology. Founder Ben Lunnon-Wood needed a single platform to handle everything from flight logging to customer management so he could focus on his groundbreaking work with Innovate UK and the National Physical Laboratory. He turned to the product Dronedesk for a solution.

The implementation of Dronedesk provided Big Sky Theory with an all-in-one operations, compliance, and project management hub. The solution centralized critical data, streamlined the creation of safety cases for the CAA, and was praised by auditors as a major step towards ISO 9001 certification. For the customer, Dronedesk resulted in approved authorizations with minimal feedback and established the startup as a more credible organization, with the founder stating it made him feel "halfway there in terms of managing the business."
