Case Study: EPC-UK scales from 20 to 43 drone pilots with Dronedesk

EPC-UK scales to 43 drone pilots in 6 months with Dronedesk

EPC-UK, part of EPC Groupe and a leader in explosives and quarrying, faced a scaling crisis as its demand for drone services grew. The company needed to manage over 1,200 annual flights across 100+ UK locations for a team of part-time pilots but was drowning in manual spreadsheets and SharePoint processes. They needed a solution to scale operations without compromising on safety or hiring a dedicated full-time manager.

To solve this, EPC-UK implemented Dronedesk Enterprise for multi-pilot fleet management. The platform provided the right balance of features for CAA compliance and operational excellence, leading to instant team buy-in. As a result, EPC-UK scaled its pilot team from 20 to 43 in just six months, managed all its flights, and achieved this 115% growth without the need for any additional dedicated hires.
