Case Study: Picterra simplifies satellite imagery access and speeds up geospatial analytics with SkyWatch

How an Artificial Intelligence company uses satellite data

Picterra, an artificial intelligence company that provides a self-serve geospatial analysis platform, faced a challenge for its users: the process of acquiring satellite data was a manual and complex effort involving lengthy emails and requiring specialized knowledge. To simplify this for their customers, Picterra partnered with vendor SkyWatch to integrate their service, streamlining access to Earth observation data.

SkyWatch's solution automated and streamlined the satellite data acquisition pipeline, providing a single point of entry to search for and purchase imagery. This integration significantly lowered costs, reduced friction for Picterra's users, and improved the timely delivery of data. A key feature was the ability to task satellites for on-demand, repeat captures, which unlocked new possibilities for users to get frequent updates and generate actionable insights.
