Case Study: Glencore achieves streamlined, compliant drone operations with FlyFreely

Glencore - Customer Case Study

Glencore, a major mining company, faced significant challenges in managing its commercial drone operations across 34 mine sites. With over 300 pilots using a variety of inconsistent systems like paper and spreadsheets, there was no visibility, a high compliance risk, and massive administrative overhead. To solve this, they partnered with vendor FlyFreely and implemented its Enterprise Plan product.

FlyFreely provided a centralized system with an offline field app, comprehensive flight tracking, and standardized workflows. The solution delivered major results for Glencore, including reducing the time to onboard an entire site team from months to just two hours. This provided full operational visibility, ensured safety and compliance, and transformed the company's drone operations culture.
