All In One Solution for Our Drone Company

Reviewed on 09/06/2020

Helps us to run a smoother operation from initial client contact to delivery of the final product.

Helps us to run a smoother operation from initial client contact to delivery of the final product.

Pros

We're only a small and very new drone company and were actually only initially just looking for option to create and monitor logs for pilot(s), batteries, maintenance etc but came across Dronedesk whilst searching online.
As an all -in-one solution to build our client database, monitor projects / jobs, create pre-flight checklists / reports, maintain logs etc it's a fantastic system and improving all the time!

The fact that we can now auto-import logs from Airdata saves so much work and us such a valuable addition.

Totally recommend trying out Dronedesk if you're looking for a way to tidy up your drone operations systems

Cons

A few things didn't work as expected initially but it's getting better all the time.

Response from GREY ROCK INNOVATIONS

Thank you for your review Anthony.

I'm really pleased that you're finding the AirData log sync useful - that was a major step forward for Dronedesk!

We're still in public beta at the moment so there are inevitably a couple of features that we're still tinkering with. Thanks for your patience and I hope you're pleased with how responsive we are to support requests.

Pros

all your planning needs in one place. Very simple to use.

Cons

None that affected my planning. The administrators are very open to new ideas and are great at responding

Response from GREY ROCK INNOVATIONS

Thanks for your review Ian.

I'm always open to feature suggestions from the Dronedesk community. Even though I'm a PfCO myself, we all have different views and ideas on how things can be done even more efficiently and effectively!

Pros

You have most things you want in one place with flight data integrated, assets listed and easy to navigate to, leads to find and contact

Cons

leads credits, you should be able to do this for free as the information being pulled is on Google

Response from GREY ROCK INNOVATIONS

Hi Ashley, thank you for your review.

I'd love to be able to provide the lead generation facility for free because I think it's a great tool to help you very quickly build a list of potential leads.

Unfortunately Google charge us for calls to their API and the charge we make for credits allows us to just about recoup that cost.

The big advantage over just trawling Google yourself to find leads though, is the massive amount of time you save - it'll generate a list of 60 leads in just a couple of minutes. And that buys you much more time to focus on converting those leads into clients!

Fantastic service that i plan to use more, just need to get over the initial setup hurdle!

Pros

Collates lots of information that normally need collecting from disparate sources, and the continuing updates and responsiveness to feedback its refreshing to see.

Cons

Sometimes not the most intuitive layout, especially when setting up a brand new job, could flow more. Also, initial setup is time consuming and risk assessment doesnt fit my layout (customised columns and rows would be great) or a pre done full ra.

Response from GREY ROCK INNOVATIONS

Thank you for your review Jonathan.

You're right of course, the initial setup of Dronedesk does take a bit of effort in terms of importing your data and getting your checklists and default risk assessments set up.

But once that's done, it will save you a huge amount of time in the long run.

The risk assessments are deliberately aligned with the CAA specification to help users maintain compliance in the event of an audit.

Whilst you can't alter the columns, you do have the choice of a standard RA or an OSC format. You can also set up a default for each to re-use as a starting point on all jobs - just head to "Profile > Settings > Risk Assessment".

Drone desk is absolutely brilliant. It’s feature packed already, and if you request help or a new feature on the Facebook group, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] gets it implemented really quickly. Top product!

Pros

Flight planning is so easy. The populated maps and local flight data are brilliant and save so much time researching

Cons

It did take me a couple of tries to properly understand it

Response from GREY ROCK INNOVATIONS

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Alistair.

I'm really pleased that you're finding flight planning easier with Dronedesk.

We've invested huge amount of effort in making sure the data that feeds into Dronedesk is industry-standard, accurate and up-to-date. So, it's great to hear that it's achieving what we intended and saving you from having to go to several other sites for the data like you would have to do previously.
